Use the Registration Portal
Create a registration portal for external candidates to sign up for CBT exams.
Allow external candidates to register for exams through a public registration link before exam day.
Steps
- Go to Assessment / CBT from the sidebar.
- Click Create Registration.
- Fill in the form:
- Select Exam — choose which exam candidates are registering for
- Registration Deadline — last date candidates can register (after this, the link stops working)
- Registration URL Slug — the custom URL path (e.g.,
/r/entrance-exam-2026). This creates a shareable link likeyourschool.cloudsentrics.org/r/entrance-exam-2026 - Max Candidates — maximum number of registrations allowed (set to 0 for unlimited)
- Click Create Registration.
- Copy the generated registration link.
- Share the link with candidates (via website, WhatsApp, social media, or email).
What Candidates See
When candidates open the link, they see a registration form where they enter:
- Full name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Any other required details
After submitting, they receive a unique Candidate Number (format: EXT/PREFIX/YEAR/SEQ). They use this number to access the exam on test day.
Managing Registrations
- View all registered candidates from the CBT section
- See candidate numbers, names, and registration dates
- Registration automatically closes after the deadline
- If max candidates is reached, new registrations are blocked
Tips
- Set a realistic capacity to manage exam logistics
- Share the link early to give candidates time to register
- The URL slug should be short and descriptive (no spaces, use hyphens)
- Candidate numbers are generated automatically and cannot be duplicated
- Students must enter their Candidate Number to start the exam on test day
