Seat Allotment

⚠️

The "Gotcha"

The 'No-Show' Penalty

If you miss your assigned slot, you cannot reschedule to another date within the window. Each candidate gets ONE specific date and time slot. Missing it means you either wait for the next session (likely August 2026) or pay a heavy re-registration fee. Also, arrive at least 90 minutes before—the gate closes 30 minutes before the exam starts.

⚖️ The Verdict

"

For Indian expat families in Kuwait, this is a golden opportunity. Your child can secure an IIT seat without traveling to India. Start preparing now, verify the test center location a week before, and treat this like a mini-boarding gate—passport, admit card, confidence.
