After the release of the notification, you are supposed to register the online application at the official KPSC website. Ensure that the information you enter is correct and which ever documents required scan and upload them.

3. Pay Exam Fee

It is important to note, the exam fee has to be paid online through the form that is to be filled up. This goes hand in hand with the fact that the fee is also tiered, depending on the category of the service. Pay through your debit/credit card or by net banking, if the facility is available.
