NAAC ACCREDITED GRADE - 'B+'

Refund Policy

Saheed Kshudiram College, Kamakhyaguri, Alipurduar, West Bengal

1. Scope

This policy applies to admitted students who wish to withdraw or cancel their admission, and seek a refund of fees paid.

2. Eligibility for Refund

  • A refund of the fee paid may be considered if the student submits a written request for withdrawal/cancellation of admission to the Principal or admission office within the timelines specified below.

  • The student must have paid all required fees and cleared any dues up to the date of application for withdrawal.

  • Documents submitted for admission must be returned and verified; admission must not have been subsequently cancelled for misconduct or false information — in such cases, refund may be forfeited.

3. Refund Timelines & Deduction

The following schedule is recommended (based on common higher-education norms):

Time of requesting withdrawal Approximate refund percentage*
15 days or more before the formally notified last date of admission 100% refund (minus processing/administrative charges)
Less than 15 days before the last date of admission 90% refund
Up to 15 days after the last date of admission 80% refund
Up to 30 days after, but more than 15 days past the last date 50% refund
More than 30 days after the last date No refund

* The exact percentages and charges (processing fees, administrative deduction) to be specified by the College.

4. Deductions & Non-Refundable Items

  • A processing/administrative fee (to be fixed by the College) may be deducted from the refundable amount.

  • If the student has been given any concessions, scholarships, or discounts which were conditional on staying enrolled, the College may adjust those before calculating the refund.

  • Application / Entrance Test fees, once paid, are generally non-refundable.

  • If admission was cancelled due to false information, non-compliance with College rules, misconduct, or failure to attend/document verification, then refund may be forfeited.

5. Refund Procedure

  • Student must submit a written application (in the prescribed form) addressed to the Principal, requesting withdrawal/fee refund, clearly stating name, admission number, course, date of admission, date of request.

  • The College will verify outstanding dues, check for any library/hostel/mess/transport charges, etc. and compute the refundable amount.

  • The refund will be made via electronic transfer (to the account from which payment was made) or as per College/accounting practice, as soon as possible (typical timeframe: within 30-60 days from approval).

  • Delay in refund processing should be communicated to the student/parent with reasons.

6. Effect of Withdrawal

  • Once a valid refund request is approved and processed, the student’s admission will be cancelled and the seat becomes vacant.

  • The student will not be eligible to continue with that course/semester unless re-admitted afresh, and fees paid for the period after withdrawal are non-refundable.

7. Modifications & Policy Update

  • The College reserves the right to amend or modify the refund policy from time to time.

  • Changes will be notified on the College website and/or admission prospectus and will apply for admissions in that academic year onward.

8. Dispute Resolution

  • Any dispute arising out of the refund policy shall be resolved by the College authority whose decision shall be final.

  • The student/parent may approach the College grievance cell in case of complaint regarding non-refund. In the case of any unresolved issue, external regulatory bodies (such as the University Grants Commission or State higher-education authority) may be consulted.
