- Application fee
- Chhattisgarh's General Administration Department order F 10-2/2022/एक(1) dated 8 April 2022 exempts the state's local-resident participants from the examination fee for board examinations, and the department's order RULE-8/2/2024-GAD-1 dated 21 April 2025 defines that exempt 'participant' as a candidate who actually appears at the examination or interview; in practice the board collects the fee online with the application and refunds it to those candidates. The amount payable by candidates from outside Chhattisgarh will be fixed in this cycle's own application document, which the board has not yet published. Use the official payment instructions only.
