AIOU Roll Number Slip Autumn 2026: How to Download from CMS
Your AIOU roll number slip Autumn 2026 is the paper that lets you enter the exam hall. Without it, the staff at the centre cannot confirm your seat, your course, or your paper. This guide shows you how to download the slip from the CMS portal, what to check on it line by line, and what to do if it is missing or wrong.
One point matters first. The Autumn 2026 exams run in March to April 2027, per the academic calendar. As of late October 2026, the slip is not due yet. It appears on the CMS portal close to the exams. Do not trust a site that claims to show your Autumn 2026 slip today.

How to Download Your AIOU Roll Number Slip
Follow these steps on a phone or a computer. Use a browser, not a link sent by a stranger.
- Open the CMS portal. Go to enrollment.aiou.edu.pk in your browser.
- Log in. Enter your registration number as the user ID and your CMS password. These are the same login details you use for admission and course records.
- Open Exam and Grades. On your dashboard, select the tile marked Exam and Grades.
- Open My Exam Schedule. Look for My Exam Schedule in the menu. Select it to load your scheduled courses.
- Search your schedule. Press the Search button. Your courses, paper dates, exam centres, and session timings should load on the screen.
- Download the slip. Select the option to download the roll number slip. Save the PDF file on your phone or computer.
- Print it. Print a clear copy on A4 white paper. Keep one copy at home and carry one copy to the exam. A clear print helps the centre staff check your detail fast.
If the schedule page is blank, do not panic. It may mean the slip for your program is not out yet. Check again after a few days, and read the date sheet status before you assume there is a fault.
What to Check on Your AIOU Roll Number Slip
Check every line the moment you download the slip. A small error found early is easy to fix. The same error found at the exam centre can cost you a paper.
- Your name. It must match your CNIC and your admission record. A spelling error can cause trouble at the gate.
- Roll number and registration number. Both must match your CMS record. You will write the roll number on your answer book, so note it down.
- Program and course codes. Every course you registered for should appear, with the right code. A missing course needs action before the exam.
- Paper dates and session. Note the date and the morning or evening session for each paper. Do not rely on memory.
- Exam centre. Note the full centre name and address. Visit the centre in advance if you can, so you know the route and the travel time.
- Instructions on the slip. Read the printed instructions. They tell you what to carry and what the centre expects from you.
If two papers fall on the same day, check the session for each one. If the slip shows a clash, or a course is missing, contact your regional office at once with your registration number and a copy of the slip.
AIOU Roll Number Slip Problems and Fixes
Most slip problems have a simple cause. Work through them in this order.
Slip is not showing. First, check whether the slip for your program is out yet. The AIOU date sheet for Autumn 2026 tracks which sheets are out and the expected exam window, so start there. If slips for your program are out and yours is still blank, check your admission and fee record on CMS. Then contact your regional office.
Login fails. Check your registration number first. One wrong digit blocks the login. If the password fails and you cannot reset it, contact your regional office or the AIOU support service. Never share your password with an agent or a stranger who offers to download the slip for you.
Name or course is wrong. Do not wait for the exam day. Take your CNIC, your admission proof, and a print of the slip to your regional office. Ask them to correct the record and tell you when the fixed slip will show on CMS.
Centre is far or wrong. Centres are set by AIOU. If the centre on your slip looks wrong for your district, ask your regional office whether a change is possible and what proof they need. Do not simply go to a nearer centre, because your seat will not be listed there.
Keep every proof you get. Save the PDF, keep the print, and note the name of any officer you speak to and the date.
On Exam Day: What to Carry
Reach the centre early. Aim to arrive well before the reporting time on your slip, because late entry can be refused. Carry your printed roll number slip and your CNIC or other photo ID in one folder, so you can show them at the gate without delay.
Follow the instructions printed on the slip. They cover reporting time, ID checks, and conduct in the hall. If a rule is not clear, ask the centre staff before the paper starts.
After the paper, keep the slip safe. You may need the roll number again to check your result. Our guide on how to check your AIOU result by roll number shows the two official ways to see your result once it is out, and your roll number is the key detail for both.
Link Your Slip to Your Study Plan
Once you know your paper dates, plan your revision backwards from the first paper. Start with the course that has the earliest paper. Give the last week to timed practice, not to new reading. AIOU past papers show which topics return again and again, so aim your final reading at those topics.
Your tutor can also help in the final weeks. If you are a Matric or FA student who submits work to a tutor, our guide on how to check your AIOU tutor information online shows where to find your tutor on CMS and why that contact matters before exams.
Academic Honesty Note
Your roll number slip is a personal document. Do not share a photo of it in public groups, because it shows your personal detail. Use the slip only for your own exams, and always write your own work in the exam hall and in your assignments. Copied work can get you debarred from your degree at any stage.
Frequently Asked Questions
When will the AIOU roll number slip for Autumn 2026 come out?
It appears on the CMS portal close to the exams, which run in March to April 2027. There is no fixed release date for every program, so check your CMS record as the exam season gets near and verify against the official date sheet.
Can I enter the exam hall without a roll number slip?
No. You need the slip to prove your seat, course, and centre. Carry the printed slip and your CNIC or other photo ID to every paper.
What if my slip shows the wrong course or centre?
Contact your regional office at once, before the exam day. Take your CNIC, admission proof, and a print of the slip. Ask when the corrected slip will appear on CMS.
Can I download the slip with my CNIC only?
Use the official CMS login for this guide. Some third party sites claim a CNIC search, but they are not the official record. Do not enter your personal detail on unknown sites. Your CMS record is the source to trust.
What if two papers are on the same day?
Check the session for each paper on the slip. Papers on the same day often sit in different sessions. If the slip shows a real clash, contact your regional office at once.
Should I keep the slip after the exams?
Yes. Keep the print and the PDF. You need the roll number to check your result, and it helps if any record query comes up later.
Closing Note
Download your slip from CMS, check every line, fix any error early, and carry the print with your ID to each paper. A few minutes of checking now can save you a lost paper later. Check CMS as the exam season nears, and plan your revision around the dates on your own slip.
