Payment

How to pay and what if payment fails

  • Pay online only, by debit card, credit card, net banking or UPI.
  • Your confirmation page appears only after the payment succeeds. Download it and keep a PDF.
  • If money is deducted but no confirmation page appears, do not pay again at once. Wait a few hours, check the status in your login, then contact your bank or the payment gateway.
  • Do not fill a second form to fix a payment problem. Multiple forms can lead to your result being cancelled.
Example

How much will you actually pay?

An OBC-NCL boy applying for Paper 1 only, at a centre in India, pays ₹900 plus a small bank charge and GST. If he also wants B.Arch, it becomes ₹2,000. If he misses 22 November and applies on 25 November, he pays ₹900 + ₹500 = ₹1,400. For Session 2 he pays the Session 2 fee again.
