The dMAT fee is EUR 150, charged as a single flat rate. In rupees that lands around Rs 16,400 to Rs 16,600 depending on the day's exchange rate and what your card issuer applies. It is paid directly to g.a.s.t. through the official dMAT portal at the moment you register.
| Item | Paid to | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| dMAT exam fee | g.a.s.t. | EUR 150 (~Rs 16,500) |
| APS documentation fee | APS India | Rs 18,000 |
| Combined | — | ~Rs 34,500 |
Budget for both, before university application fees. The two are separate processes run by separate organisations on separate timelines — registering for the dMAT does not register you for APS, and submitting your APS file does not enrol you in the dMAT. This is the single most confusing part of the rollout, so it is worth being blunt about it.
One flat payment covers your Core Module, your Subject Module, your test centre slot, digital delivery of the exam and one official certificate. There is no split fee between the two modules, and the rate does not change by degree stream, test centre or state.

Payment happens online through the g.a.s.t. participant portal at the moment you register — registration is only confirmed once the fee lands, and no booking is held on trust. The portal accepts card and direct debit.
Two practical warnings for Indian applicants. First, your card must be enabled for international transactions, and you should check your daily limit before starting, because a failed transaction can hold the seat until you retry. Second, the rupee figure moves with the daily EUR-INR rate, so convert on the day you plan to pay rather than the day you decide to register.
Refund conditions are governed by g.a.s.t.'s own terms, not by APS India and certainly not by any preparation provider. The APS fee of Rs 18,000 is non-refundable under any circumstance.
On retakes: no second sitting has been confirmed for the 2026 cycle before the Summer 2027 intake. That makes the 15 September 2026 registration deadline more consequential than a typical exam deadline — missing it may mean waiting for a later intake rather than a later test date.
Preparation is entirely separate from the exam fee and is not paid to g.a.s.t. or APS India. Coaching-led programmes in India currently run to around Rs 15,000, with standalone practice software in the Rs 2,500 to Rs 5,000 range.
DMAT Club's first full-length mock is free with a free account. The complete five-mock bundle launches shortly at Rs 449 — you can join the waitlist and we will email you when it opens. We never handle your exam registration or your exam fee — register only at the official portal.
Because the dMAT is new and the deadline is tight, expect to see offers for guaranteed scores, leaked papers or paid registration assistance. The exam fee is paid on the official portal by you, directly. Nobody needs to collect it on your behalf, and nobody outside g.a.s.t. holds the item bank.
EUR 150, roughly Rs 16,500 depending on the exchange rate, paid directly to g.a.s.t. when you register.
No. The Rs 18,000 APS documentation fee is entirely separate. Budget around Rs 34,500 for both.
Refunds are governed by g.a.s.t.'s own terms. The APS fee is non-refundable under any circumstance.
