Changing from higher fee category (General/OBC-NCL) to lower fee category (SC/ST/PwD) No refund for the fee difference paid

Students should select the correct category at the time of initial registration to avoid complications during the correction window. NTA’s decision on all fee-related matters is final and binding.
