How to Download AP Intermediate Supplementary Exam Hall Tickets for May 2026

If you're appearing for the Intermediate Public Advanced Supplementary Examinations in May 2026, your hall tickets are now ready. The Board of Intermediate Education released them on Friday, and you need to download yours before the exams start.

The exams begin on May 21, so you have a few days to get everything sorted. Here's what you need to know.

Two Ways to Download Your Hall Ticket

The BIE has made it simple. You can get your hall ticket through two methods. Pick the one that works best for you.

Method 1: Using WhatsApp

This is the quickest option if you're comfortable with WhatsApp. The BIE has set up a chatbot called Mana Mitra. Here's what you do:

• Open WhatsApp on your phone
• Send a message saying 'Hi' to 9552300009
• Follow the prompts that pop up
• Enter your details when asked
• Your hall ticket will arrive as a PDF file

The whole process takes just a few minutes. Make sure you save the PDF somewhere you can find it easily.

Method 2: Through the Official Website

If you prefer using a computer or don't want to use WhatsApp, the official website works just as well.

• Visit bie.ap.gov.in
• Look for the link that says 'Download IPASE May 2026 Hall Tickets'
• Click on it
• Enter either your previous roll number or Aadhar number
• Download your hall ticket

Both methods give you the same hall ticket. Use whichever feels more comfortable.

Do You Need a Principal's Signature?

Here's some good news. You don't need to run to your college to get the principal's signature on your downloaded hall ticket. BIE secretary P. Ranjith Basha made this clear in his statement.

The downloaded hall ticket is valid on its own. Just print it out and take it with you to the exam centre. One less thing to worry about.

Important Things to Remember

Now that you have your hall ticket, here are some practical tips to help your exam day go smoothly.

Arrive Early

The BIE advises students to reach their exam centres at least 30 minutes before the exam starts. This isn't just a suggestion. Getting there early gives you time to find your seat, settle your nerves, and handle any unexpected issues.

Traffic happens. Buses run late. Your rickshaw might take a wrong turn. Build in that buffer time.

Check Your Hall Ticket Carefully

Before exam day, read through your hall ticket properly. Make sure all the details are correct. Check your name, roll number, exam centre address, and exam timings.

If you spot any mistakes, contact the BIE office right away. Don't wait until the last minute.

Keep Multiple Copies

Print at least two copies of your hall ticket. Keep one in your bag and one at home. You can also keep the PDF on your phone as a backup. Better safe than sorry.

What You Need on Exam Day

Apart from your hall ticket, make sure you carry a valid ID proof. Your Aadhar card works well since you might have used that number to download the hall ticket. Bring your own pens, pencils, and other stationery. Don't count on borrowing from others.

Leave your phone at home if possible. Most exam centres don't allow mobile phones inside. If you must bring it, be ready to deposit it at the entrance.

Technical Issues?

Sometimes technology doesn't cooperate. If the WhatsApp chatbot isn't responding or the website is slow, don't panic. Try again after some time. These portals often get heavy traffic when hall tickets are first released.

If you're still stuck after multiple attempts, contact your college or the BIE office directly. They have helplines set up for exactly these situations.

A Word on Preparation

Getting your hall ticket is just the first step. You still have a few days before May 21. Use them well. Review your subjects. Focus on topics you find challenging. Get enough sleep. Eat proper meals.

Supplementary exams give you another chance to clear the subjects you couldn't pass earlier. Take it seriously, but don't let stress overwhelm you. You've studied this material before. You know more than you think you do.

Download your hall ticket today. Check it thoroughly. Mark your exam dates on a calendar. Set reminders for each exam. Plan your route to the exam centre. Sort out your stationery and ID proofs.

Small preparations make a big difference when exam day arrives. You've got this.
