The roll slip is important because it identifies your examination schedule and centre. Before printing it, check that the courses, paper dates and examination-centre information match your current programme and semester.
Get Your AIOU Roll Number Slip
The AIOU Student CMS is the main official route students should use to view their roll-slip information. AIOU’s examination guidance specifically says that the roll number slip can be printed from the student’s CMS dashboard.
Do not confuse the Student CMS with Aaghi LMS. Aaghi LMS is used for learning activities and related academic services, while AIOU’s official CMS guidance places the roll slip under the student’s examination schedule.
Students looking for a particular Matric, FA, BA/AD or postgraduate examination can also use the relevant programme-specific AIOUTutor guide. These pages should be treated as additional guidance; the current official examination information should still be confirmed through AIOU.
How to Check or Print It
Use the following procedure:
- Open the official AIOU Student CMS.
- Sign in with your own student account.
- Open Exam and Grades.
- Select My Exam Schedule.
- Choose or confirm the relevant programme and semester where required.
- Review the displayed examination information carefully.
- Save the available document or use your browser’s print option to make a clear paper copy.
AIOU’s CMS help information describes My Exam Schedule as the section where students can view or download their roll number slip online. It also states that this copy is valid for appearing at the examination centre.
If you are using a phone, check the complete document before printing. A cropped screenshot is not a good substitute for the full examination record.
Information Shown on the Roll Slip
According to AIOU’s official examination information, the roll slip includes the student’s roll number, registration information, examination-centre address and the dates on which papers are to be held.
You should compare these details with your current enrollment and examination schedule before exam day.
Pay particular attention to your course papers and the examination-centre address. Do not rely only on a date or venue remembered from an older semester, another student or a social-media post.
AIOU publishes programme-specific examination schedules on its official date-sheet section, so the applicable schedule can differ by programme. Use the current official date sheet when you need to verify your paper dates. View AIOU official date sheets
Roll Number Slip Not Available
If My Exam Schedule does not show the expected roll slip, first make sure you are viewing the correct semester and programme.
The absence of a slip should not automatically be blamed on admission, fee or another specific problem unless AIOU confirms that issue in your individual case.
If your examinations are approaching and the roll slip is still unavailable, AIOU’s examination guidance says a student who has not received the examination intimation or finds ambiguity in it can contact the relevant examination office or concerned Regional Office.
It is better to resolve the issue before travelling to the examination centre rather than depending on an old slip or another student’s schedule.
You can also read our [AIOU CMS Portal guide] for help understanding the student portal. AIOUTutor’s CMS page covers the broader student account system, while this page focuses specifically on examination roll slips.
Wrong Course, Date or Exam Centre
Do not ignore a mismatch simply because the roll slip has been generated.
If a course appears missing, an unexpected paper appears, or the examination-centre details seem incorrect, verify your enrollment information and the current official date sheet. If the problem remains, contact AIOU or your concerned Regional Office for clarification.
A request to change an examination centre is different from reporting an apparent error. AIOU says examination-centre changes are not normally entertained except in exceptional circumstances with genuine reasons. The university also provides a CMS route for eligible centre-change requests.
Students should therefore not assume that the centre printed on a roll slip can simply be edited or replaced by choosing another convenient location.
Programme-Specific Roll Number Slips
AIOU serves students across SSC, HSSC, undergraduate, postgraduate and research programmes. Examination arrangements are not necessarily identical for every programme.
For more focused guidance, AIOUTutor maintains separate pages for Matric roll number slips, FA/HSSC roll slips, BA roll slips and MA/postgraduate roll slips. The general page you are reading should be used for the common CMS access procedure and troubleshooting, while programme-specific pages can explain details relevant to that level.
The existing AIOUTutor roll-slip hub also groups these guides in one place.
Be careful with older instructions that tell every student to select the same programme list or use an old public roll-number search page. Current official AIOU guidance supports the Student CMS as the general online route.
What to Check Next
Date Sheet
After obtaining your roll slip, compare your examination dates with the applicable AIOU date sheet. AIOU publishes separate schedules for different programmes, so use the schedule that actually covers your programme and examination period.
Exam Centre
Read the complete examination-centre address shown in your roll-slip information. Check the location before exam day, particularly if you have never visited the centre.
If the centre appears wrong, contact AIOU rather than travelling to a different centre based on unofficial information.
Exam Instructions
Read any examination instructions supplied with your official schedule or roll-slip record and follow the current AIOU requirements.
Keep a clear printed copy of the roll slip with you. AIOU’s CMS guidance specifically confirms that the online roll-slip copy available through My Exam Schedule is valid for appearing at the examination centre.
For the latest examination schedule, use the official AIOU date-sheet section rather than relying on dates copied from an older Spring or Autumn semester. Check official AIOU date sheets
