Hello Aspirant

If you have already paid the fee for application form, then irrespective of you appearing for the exam or not, the application form fee is never refunded.

So, if you are planning on skipping the first phase and want to appear for second phase only, you will have to pay the fee again. You can't register for second phase with the fee paid by you for the first phase.

You can go through the link given below to get any other info regarding MET:

Hope this helps.
