How to Download the MPESB PNST 2026 Admit Card

The admit card is available on the official MPESB Test Admit Card (TAC) page. Follow these simple steps:

1. Open the "Download Admit Card" link given in the Important Links table above. It takes you to the official MPESB TAC page.
2. Select the Pre-Nursing Selection Test (PNST) 2026 exam from the list.
3. Enter your login details. You will need your Application Number, Date of Birth, and the extra details the board asks for (such as the first two letters of your mother's name and the last four digits of your Aadhaar number).
4. Your admit card will open on the screen. Check every detail on it carefully.
5. Download the admit card and take a clear printout. Keep at least one spare copy.

If the official server is slow or busy on exam day, keep trying after some time, as the board's website often gets heavy traffic near the exam date.

Check that all the information on your admit card is correct. It normally shows:

• Your name, photograph, and signature
• Application/Roll number
• Exam date and reporting time
• Exam city and full address of the test centre

If you find any mistake or a blank photo, contact the MPESB helpdesk at once so it can be fixed before the exam.
