Address:Mumbai, Sangli, Maharashtra

I am raising this complaint against S.P. Mandali's Prin. L.N. Welingkar Institute of Management Development & Research, Mumbai.I had paid the first installment fees of 354006(Three lakhs fifty four thousand and six rupees) on 20 July 2023.As per AICTE norms, I had applied for cancellation/refund of my admission on 8 th of September 2023 before the deadline as mentioned in the AICTE rulebook for 2023.The college has returned only 236333(Two lakhs thirty six thousand three hundred and thirty three rupees) as refund, deducting 117673(one lakh seventeen thousand six hundred and seventy three rupees) as cancellation charges. As per AICTE guidelines only 1000 rupees is meant to be deducted as cancellation charges, but in spite of requesting multiple times through emails and calls, the college is not refunding the rest of the money.I haven't been to campus even once nor attended a single lecture neither stayed a single day at hostel.
As I belong to a very poor family, I am requesting Concumer court to look into this matter and give me justice
