The JIPMER application fee varies based on the course you're applying for (Undergraduate or Postgraduate) and your category (General, OBC, SC, ST, PwD, etc.). Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the JIPMER exam application fee structure for both the UG and PG exams, as well as how you can pay it.
1. JIPMER UG (NEET-UG) Application Fee
Since JIPMER no longer conducts a separate MBBS entrance exam and instead uses NEET-UG (National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test for Undergraduates), the application fee for the NEET-UG exam applies for MBBS admission at JIPMER. The NEET-UG exam is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).
