Registration Process and Fees
PIN purchase is the first step. Without it, a candidate cannot open the registration form.
Candidates must pay ₹1,000 as a non-refundable PIN charge and ₹10,000 as a refundable security deposit, adding up to ₹11,000. The 14-digit PIN generated after payment is used to complete the registration form and create the candidate login.
ACPUGMEC has advised candidates to use a high-speed or broadband connection while purchasing the PIN to avoid transaction failure.
After submitting the form, candidates must print the registration slip. The date and the help centre for document verification are selected by the candidate at the time of printing the registration slip.
