Make sure you fill in the correct category details before paying. Changes to category and fee after payment are generally not permitted.

OUAT 2027 Late Fee Details

OUAT does not always allow applications after the regular registration deadline. In some years, the university extends the window with an additional late fee. The late fee amount and the extended deadline dates are announced on ouat.ac.in through an official notice or corrigendum.

Do not wait until the last day to pay — a payment failure near the deadline may prevent you from applying in time. Complete your registration and payment well before the deadline so you have time to fix any technical issues. If a late window is announced for OUAT 2027, check the official site for the exact late fee amount before you apply.

OUAT Application Fee Refund Policy

The OUAT application fee is non-refundable — even if you withdraw your application, do not appear for the exam, or are found ineligible after submission.

Once you pay the registration fee, OUAT does not return it under any condition. There is no partial refund, no fee transfer to a future OUAT cycle, and no adjustment against any other payment. Before you pay, check that you meet all eligibility conditions for the courses and category you are applying under. If you pay with incorrect details and are later rejected, the fee will not be returned.
