This query is : Resolved
Sir,
I was Admitted to a PVT College (Deemeed University)for B.Tech
Within one month, i withdraw from the college
on the ground that i wish to prepare for competitive exam
The college refund my Hostel and mess fees after some deduction.
But it Doesn't Refund my Provisional Admission fees of Rs. 50000/-
I Filled an RTI with UGC asking Abt the Guidelines issued by UGC to Pvt College where a student withdrawns with one month
Is Filling an RTI with UGC is justified ?
I have not received any reply with 30 days,
What should i do ?

You can move an application under the provisions of RTI Act and can seek desired information and thereafter yo can file either consumer complaint or a writ in high court or a complaint to Registrar of University or can initiate all actions at one and same time as cause of action though is same but grievance shall be different with all agencies.

Mr.Amit,
I have asked you what is the break up. I guess it is a academic query.
Normally the educational institutions will say a fee of say Rs.1 lakh, but, the Rs.1 lakh will have a break up as follows:-
Admission fee:- X
Tuition Fee :- Y
Security Deposit :- Z
You can recover y and Z, not X, if you claim refund immediately after the admission but before the commencement of the course.
X is already incurred for admitting you. y, z can be refunded as the course is not commenced.
M/s. Y-not legal services

Best way to approach to Distt. Consumer Redressal Fora. You will get relief. UGC / AICTE rules of refunds are available on internet. dont waste time.

Dear Amit,
You can go ahead in preferring an appeal in proper proforma before the Appellate Authority under RTI Act of the respective university against non-response by PIO within prescribed time frame.
Besides, you have to collect the Rules laid down by your University as regards Refund of Admission fees etc. as well as AICTE/UGC provisions in this regard to make sure you are eligible for refund in the instant situation. This will help you to seek redressal before appropriate legal forum for getting back your legitimate dues if any.

If the college had filled all the seats (presume that your seat is also filled, they dont incur any loss just because of your withdrawal), you can try your chance of claiming the tuition fee.

"We would like to informs you that the university closed its admission on 31 aug 2011 and no admission was taken after that date, so fees is NOT Refundable"
But i am aware of the facts that admission has been taken place even after the admission date and while i was withdrawing from the college admission has taken place.

Respected Sir,
Should i communicate to the college by writing the letter and mentioning the fact " That i am aware of admission being done ven after the date of last admission" ??
Or
Just file the case in consumer forums ?
How do you see the chance of getting decision in my favour ?
Advocate. Arunagiri

You need not send any letter to the college, just proceed in filing a consumer case.
The chances of getting the order in favour depends upon the proofs, and presentation of case.
