Issues regarding the fees for the 2016 Chemical Engineering Examination

Thread Content

This year, the chemical engineering examination has finally been reinstated. However, last year, the examination was postponed for a year on the pretext that the fees hadn’t been determined yet; I’m sure many people were dissatisfied with that. Well, this year’s fee structure also leaves people feeling dissatisfied； The announcement issued by the association states that the fee is 30 yuan per subject, for a total of 120 yuan plus 10 yuan in registration fees, which amounts to 130 yuan (see: http://www.ccesda.com/UploadFiles/2016426161310411.pdf). The exam guidelines indicate a fee of 65 yuan per subject, resulting in a total of 260 yuan plus 10 yuan in registration fees, or 270 yuan in total (see: http://www.spta.gov.cn/testIntroHtml/detail_6_lmCode_A02010372_VIEWID_2668.html). However, when I made the payment, the total amount charged was 310 yuan (since I registered through Shanghai, the fee was 75 yuan per subject, plus 10 yuan in registration fees) ； Probably many netizens really don’t care about this registration fee, but when a few documents don’t match the actual charges, it’s somewhat unsettling. I wonder if anyone else has encountered the same situation.
