The Cotton Corporation of India Ltd. (CCI), a Government of India Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Textiles, released the admit card for the Computer Based Test (CBT) for 148 posts — Management Trainee (Marketing and Accounts), Junior Commercial Executive, Junior Assistant (General and Accounts) and Assistant Manager (Official Language and IT) — under Advt. No. DR/CCI/2026. The exam is scheduled on 1 September 2026. With the exam 4 days away, candidates who have not yet downloaded their hall ticket must do so immediately from the official DigialM portal using their Registration Number and Date of Birth or Password.
Important – Read Before You Go: Three things that will bar entry at the exam centre on 1 September. First, carry a printed copy of the admit card — not a digital version on your phone — mobile phones and all electronic devices are strictly prohibited inside the examination hall and cannot be used as an alternative to the physical admit card. Second, the exam is spread across 11 cities in multiple shifts; your specific city, centre, date and shift are on your admit card — read the reporting time carefully and reach the centre at least 30 to 60 minutes before your assigned time. Third, candidates dismissed, terminated or removed from any PSU, bank or Government organisation are not eligible to sit the exam — if this applies to you, you will be turned away at document verification even if you cleared the CBT.
