Physical calculators are strictly prohibited. However, the online exam interface may provide a basic 'on-screen calculator' for the Quantitative Aptitude and DI sections. For rough work, candidates are allowed to keep 2-3 blank A4-sized sheets and a pen/pencil on their desk. You must show the blank sheets to the webcam before the exam starts to ensure they do not contain any written material.
