No, candidates cannot carry handwritten notes inside the AIBE exam hall. Earlier, AIBE was an open-book exam, but now it is not open book. Candidates are only allowed to carry bare acts without any notes, highlights, or comments. Any page containing written points, markings, or personal notes is not allowed. If such material is found, it may lead to disqualification.

So, only clean, unmarked bare acts are permitted, and all other study materials must be kept outside the exam hall.
