How to Check Government Exam Application Fees
Follow these steps to check the fee for an examination:
- Select the examination and its notification or recruitment year.

- Click Check Application Fee.
- Review the payable fee, exemption information and special conditions.
- Open the official notification linked in the result to verify the details.
The checker displays information maintained by the website administrator. It does not independently retrieve or verify the latest government notification.
SSC Application Fee
The Staff Selection Commission publishes separate notices for examinations such as SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, SSC MTS, SSC GD, Junior Engineer and other recruitment tests.
The application fee and payment deadline should be checked in the notification for the specific examination. Do not assume that a fee published for one SSC examination automatically applies to another.
Candidates should also verify whether the notification includes any special fee conditions, correction charges or separate rules for particular posts.
SC and ST Application Fee Exemption
Some SSC examination notifications exempt eligible candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) from paying the application fee.
However, candidates must meet the conditions specified in the relevant notification. Check the category requirements and any applicable documentation instructions before relying on an exemption.
Who Can Be Exempt from Examination Fees?
Depending on the examination, the official notification may provide fee exemptions for specified groups, such as:
- Women candidates
- Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates
- Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates
- Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD)
- Eligible Ex-Servicemen (ESM)
Other categories may be treated differently depending on the recruiting authority. For example, OBC or EWS status does not automatically mean that a candidate is exempt from every government examination fee.
Always read the exemption clause in the applicable notification rather than relying on a general category-wise list.
Why the Official Notification Matters
Recruitment authorities may revise application fees, eligibility conditions, payment methods and exemption rules from one recruitment cycle to another.
Before paying, check:
- The exact examination name and notification year
- The fee amount for your category
- The categories eligible for exemption
- Any additional conditions for claiming exemption
- The online payment deadline
- The official payment status after completing the transaction
A fee exemption does not necessarily remove other application requirements. Complete all applicable steps specified by the recruiting authority.
