Sir, does this mean that we have to pay the fee on or before 22nd November only? Cannot it be payed beyond this date and time? Like in first week of December?

I have a query, I have been selected for RLG online but I wanted to know the test in the online mode will be conducted the same way entrance test was conducted like one question on the screen, mark it then slide will change and attempt the next. Because if you can provide the pdf of the test at 7 am, I can solve it the way actual exam is conducted. The way entrance test was conducted, it doesn't feel like I am giving mocks, the experience is different. I can upload the very clear picture of omr exact at 8 am, please help sir. I would have joined in offline mode but I am preparing from my home. Kindly help. 

Just like you attempted the entrance exam on the screen, the regular tests will also be conducted in the same manner.

However, the question paper will be uploaded5 minutes before the testin PDF format.

You may take a printout for your self-practice, butyou must submit your answers on the screen only.

Only then your result will be generated.

Sir, few days back I called the phone support number and a lady operator mentioned that for Online RLG mode, one has to attempt  the questions online only on the portal itself( similar to what you are saying that we can attempt the questions on screen only) and no PDF of the question paper will be provided before the starting of the test that can be downloaded, as I clearly asked if before the test will we get an option to download the PDF of the QP, she strictly said no to it.


However, you are mentioning here that we can download the PDF of the QP at around 6:55 am, print it out and then solve it manually; the only thing concerning here is we have to submit the answers on the online portal window, for rank calculation.


Now my question is, let’s suppose for a particular test, at 6:50 AM , I get Set A QP for download, which I will solve manually in a Q1 to Q50 sequence after downloading. 


Now when the test starts at 7 AM, on portal, the questions will follow the sequence similar to that of the Set A QP PDF that I downloaded at 6:50 am? Or can it differ? For example, Q1 on PDF is on Preamble of IC, so on portal too, the Q1 will be the same question on Preamble only or will the questions on Portal follow some other sequence?

Yes, you can pay the fee beyond the given date, but a penalty charge will be applicable.

Sir, if you could specify the penalty amount, it would be of great help. Keeping in mind that the fee would be payed on 1st of December.
