💡 Expert Tip
CCRUM's biggest trap is the two-component fee structure — everyone pays the non-refundable Processing Fee (₹500 regardless of category), PLUS an Examination Fee (₹1500/₹1000/₹800 for UR/OBC candidates depending on group). SC/ST/PwBD/EWS/Women/ESM are exempt only from the Examination Fee, NOT the Processing Fee. So these exempted categories still pay ₹500. If applying for multiple posts, a separate application with separate fees must be submitted for each post. Also — OBC certificate must be within 3 years of the closing date. Application Key Account Creation details (Name, DOB, Gender) cannot be modified at any stage — fill them exactly as per Matriculation Certificate. Answer key challenges cost ₹300 per objection (refunded if valid).
