💡 Expert Tip
Two separate advertisement numbers, two different rules — apply carefully. For Mining (07A/26): application fee of ₹500/- applies for General/EWS/OBC; SC/ST/XSM/Female candidates are exempt. For Civil (07B/26): NO application fee for anyone — it is a special OBC backlog drive. If you are OBC and have a GATE-2025 CE score, the Civil drive is your priority since it has 27 dedicated OBC posts with zero fee. Critical document alert: your OBC-NCL certificate MUST be in central format valid for FY 2026-27; EWS certificate must be based on FY 2025-26 income. GATE-2025 score is the ONLY valid score — 2024 or earlier scores will not be accepted. Ensure your GATE-2025 registration number is filled exactly as appearing on your scorecard — no corrections are allowed post-submission.
