Officials have clarified that applications will be considered valid only after successful fee payment within the prescribed timeline. Applicants are advised not to wait until the last day, as heavy traffic on the portal may cause technical delays.

With more than three lakh applications already received, the authority said the extension was granted to help remaining candidates finish the process smoothly.
