If you’re facing issues while paying for CIMEA, try the following method instead of paying someone 10–15k to do it.

1. Open the CIMEA website at 5:40 and go to the last page before the payment page (the page where you select urgent or normal service).
2. Open this page on at least 4 devices or 4 different browsers. You can open as many pages as you want, but remember that you’ll have to do everything quickly.
3. Now go to time.now and wait until 5:59:55.
4. Exactly at 5:59:55, click the “Save and Next” button on all devices. The page will load for 15–20 seconds, and on one of the devices you may get the payment option.
5. Obviously, many CIMEA service providers also use this method, so you might not get the payment option immediately.
6. If you don’t get the payment option, don’t worry. Keep trying on all devices again and again:
back → save and next,
back → save and next.
1. You’ll usually get the payment option within 5 to 10 minutes, but you’ll need to act quickly. Otherwise, someone else may grab the slot.

After this message, many students may start trying this method, so you might not get the option on the first day. But InshaAllah, you should be able to get it on the second day.
