The CUET PG application fee is determined by your reservation category and the total number of test papers you select. While the exact 2027 fee notification is pending, you can expect it to follow the NTA's most recent (2026) fee structure, which covers the base cost for up to two test papers:
Category | Base Fee (Up to 2 Papers) | Each Additional Paper |
General (UR) | ₹1,400 | ₹700 |
OBC-NCL / Gen-EWS | ₹1,200 | ₹600 |
SC / ST / Third Gender | ₹1,100 | ₹600 |
PwBD (Persons with Disabilities) | ₹1,000 | ₹600 |
Centres Outside India (NRI) | ₹7,000 | ₹3,500 |
(Note: Applicable banking processing charges and GST will be levied over and above these fees).
How to Pay the Application Fee:
NTA strictly accepts application fees through online mode only. You can easily complete the transaction using the integrated payment gateways on the official portal via:
UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, etc.)
Net Banking
Debit Card / Credit Card
Expert Warning (Handling Payment Failures):
Payment gateway timeouts are incredibly common on the NTA portal, especially if you apply during the last 48 hours before the deadline. If your money is deducted from your bank account but the portal shows "Payment Failed," do not immediately pay again. Wait for at least 24 hours for the payment gateway to reconcile the transaction. Most importantly, your application is NOT considered successful until you generate and download the final "Confirmation Page".
