A student left the institution after completing the first semister and applied for withdrawal of his admission as asked for by the office of the institution. After submitting his application he asked for refund of the refundable caution money but the educational institution refused to refund the money saying that you have left the institution before the completion of the course. But in the prospectus there is no mention about not refunding the caution money in case the student leaves the institution before the completion of the course. Please advise where to approach for refund and what gor the caution money is taken.

As per AICTE guideline of 2012 every technical university should have Ombudsman for redressal of grievances of parents and students. The concerned technical institution is approved by AICTE. BEFORE APPROACHING THE CONSUMER FORUM WILL IT BE ADVICABLE TO APPROACH THE THE OMBUDSMAN.
