Tips for candidates from Pune and Maharashtra
Centres are allotted by CRPF, and the admit card shows your exact venue, which may be in another district or state. Check your card the day you download it and book travel early. Run your practice laps on a measured track, such as a 400 m athletics track, so you know your real pace.
