If the student is not willing to join the course, you cannot force him or deny him the refund of the fees.
You said that it is as per the terms and conditions of the prospectus. But, please note that any terms and conditions which are against the public policy & principle of natural justice are illegal in the eyes of law.
At the you can deduct a nominal amount from the fees paid by him as administration expenses.
The said student had informed you well in advance that he is not willilng to join the course.
Thus, it is advisable to settle the matter refunding the amount, otherwise, there is a reisk of getting an order to pay the entire amount along with interest and further compensation for mental agony and harrassment.

what is the course?there are aicte/ugc guide lines regarding refund of fees.
accordingly,a deduction of rs.1000/-only is permitted,if the student withdraw before the commencement of the course.
also,it is against the law to admit much before the commencement of a course.
