• The Phase I and Phase II centre choices can be different.
• Candidates applying for two streams must select the same centres for Phase I and Phase II.
• The examination centre mentioned in the call letter will be the centre where the candidate has to appear.

Can Phase I and Phase II Centres Be Different?

PFRDA Grade A Exam Centre Allotment Rules

Choosing a centre preference does not guarantee that the candidate will be allotted the same centre. PFRDA has clearly stated that, as far as possible, candidates will be allotted a centre of their choice. However, the Authority reserves the right to allot a candidate to another centre, including a centre within the state or outside the state, depending on administrative requirements and other factors.

The Authority may also cancel an examination centre or add new centres depending on the candidate response and administrative feasibility. Therefore, candidates should not assume that their preferred city will necessarily be their final examination venue.

Can PFRDA Grade A Exam Centre Be Changed?

No. Candidates cannot request a change of examination centre after the choice has been exercised. The notification states that no request for a change of centre, venue, date or session will be entertained. The choice of centre made by the candidate is treated as final. PFRDA may itself change or modify the centre if required. Candidates should therefore check their call letter carefully before travelling for the examination.

Travel and Accommodation for PFRDA Grade A Exam

Candidates appearing for the examination must make their own travel arrangements. PFRDA does not arrange travelling, boarding or lodging facilities for candidates.
