Of course you can. It is a better choice than pen. It helps you to erase the wrongly written words and replace it with correct ones. With pen means you have to strike it off and if you repeat this mistake three or four times your answer sheet looks ugly. Above all if it is a formal letter, you are not supposed to make any striking.

Hi Supriya,
It is mandatory to use pencil while writing the exam.This allows you to correct and change your answers.
Please practice with pencil from the beginning as the speech and grip varies that from a pen and might affect the effectiveness during the exam.
Would advise to use a clutch/ technical pencil which you don’t have to sharpen to save time during the exam.
