₹1,000 including GST is payable online for each post applied for. Bank transaction charges are additional and the fee is non-refundable.
Fee exemption applies to SC, ST, PwBD and women candidates, and AAI apprentices who successfully completed one year of apprenticeship training.
Multiple posts are allowed. Submit a separate registration and separate fee for every post, while satisfying each post's eligibility independently.

Manager experience must come from an accepted employer type. Government, PSU, listed company, organisation with more than 250 employees, or qualifying high-turnover organisation may count. Large law firms must meet the separate turnover rule.
Use the university's official CGPA conversion. Enter percentage to two decimal places and keep the equivalence or conversion certificate ready.
