The Directorate of Government Examinations in Andhra Pradesh has set the examination fee payment schedule for the SSC Public Examinations coming up in March 2027. This schedule covers regular students and once-failed candidates taking the Secondary School Certificate, OSSC, and vocational exams.

Fee Schedule And Deadlines

Schools can pay the exam fee without any late charges from November 11 to November 25. Missing this first window means paying a late fee of Rs 50 between November 26 and December 2. The penalty rises to Rs 200 for payments made from December 3 to December 9, and hits Rs 500 for payments processed between December 10 and December 15. The Directorate stresses that these deadlines will not be extended under any circumstances, and warns school heads to finish payments early to avoid heavy website traffic.

Payment Rules And Amounts

The standard exam fee is Rs 125 for regular candidates taking all subjects or more than three subjects. Students taking up to three subjects pay Rs 110. Vocational candidates must add Rs 60 to their exam fee, while underage students needing age condonation must pay Rs 300. All payments must go through the official website at bse.ap.gov.in using school logins. The board will not accept payments made through bank challans or the Comprehensive Financial Management System. Furthermore, schools do not need to submit manual nominal rolls at any level, including to district officers or the board office.

Context

Board examinations in India follow strict digital timelines to ensure lakhs of students are registered efficiently before exam papers are printed. Centralizing payments through official school portals helps education boards track candidate data accurately and prevents last-minute administrative errors at local education offices.
