AP PGECET Application Fee Payment Modes

You must pay the AP PGECET application fee either online through the APSCHE portal or at an authorised AP Online centre. No other offline payment method is accepted.

AP PGECET Fee Waiver and Concession Details

AP PGECET does not offer a full fee waiver for any category. However, SC, ST, BC, and PwD students pay a reduced fee compared to General/OC students. See the AP PGECET reservation details for category-wise eligibility criteria.

• SC and ST students pay ₹700 — saving ₹500 compared to the General/OC fee of ₹1,200.
• PwD / PH students (Persons with Disability) also pay the reduced fee of ₹700, regardless of their social category.
• BC students pay ₹900 — saving ₹300 compared to the General fee.
• There is no income-based waiver or EWS-specific fee concession mentioned in the official AP PGECET notification.
• Women students pay the same fee as male students in their respective category — there is no gender-based fee concession.

You must select the correct category during registration and submit valid caste or disability certificates at the time of document verification.

AP PGECET Late Fee Details

APSCHE allows late applications after the regular registration deadline, but you must pay an additional late fee on top of the base registration fee. In 2026, there were multiple late-fee slabs with increasing amounts. Applying earlier is always the better option — the late fee in the final window was ₹10,000.

Note: Late fee slabs and window dates for 2027 will be published in the official AP PGECET 2027 notification. The table above is based on the 2026 schedule.

AP PGECET Application Fee Refund Policy

The AP PGECET application fee is non-refundable — even if you withdraw your application, do not appear for the exam, or are found ineligible during verification.

This applies to all categories — General, BC, SC, ST, and PwD. Once payment is made through the APSCHE portal, it cannot be exchanged, cancelled, or refunded under any circumstance.

If your payment fails (money is deducted but you receive no Application Registration Number), follow this process:

• Do not make a second payment immediately — wait 48 to 72 hours for the transaction to either complete or auto-reverse.
• Check your bank statement after 3 working days. If the amount is still not refunded, contact your bank with the transaction reference.
• You can also raise a payment grievance through the AP PGECET helpdesk available on the official APSCHE portal.

In case of a genuine duplicate payment (two separate successful transactions for the same application), contact the APSCHE helpdesk immediately with both transaction reference numbers. Such cases have been resolved in previous cycles.
