Christ University — Non refund of admission fee for 2022-23 - christ college

Address: A-3/302 , BLOCK 4 , KAILASH DHAM HSG SOCIETY , SECTOR 50 , NOIDA - 201301

My son was granted admission in BBA (Finance & International Business) Course in Yeshwanthpur campus for the academic session 2022-23, for which I had paid an advance fee of Rs 2, 15, 000 as per the details given below :

1. Receipt Number 24444 - Rs 2, 10, 000 dated May 7, 2022
2. Receipt Number 24445 - Rs 5, 000 dated May 7, 2022

We also received a mail from you on June 29, 2022 stating that the session in Yeshwanthpur Campus will commence on Aug 4, 2022.

I visited their Yeshwantpur Campus on July 14, 2022 and was shocked to see that the college building was still under construction (Pictures attached). We later decided to go for cancellation of admission on the very same day through the portal and received an acknowledgement mail dated July 14, 2022 from Christ University.

We subsequently received a mail from Christ University on July 18, 2022 acknowledging the receipt of request for cancellation of admission and confirming that I would receive the refund in 21 days.

I have received a refund of Rs 2, 05, 000 only on August 16, 2022 as against a fee of Rs 2, 15, 000 paid to the College. I wrote multiple mails to the college asking the reason for deduction of Rs 10, 000 when the admission was cancelled 3 weeks before the commencement of the classes. This is also against their own admission / refund policy and the directives o[censored]GC where they have specified that colleges / universities will have to refund 100% fee if admission is cancelled before Oct 31, 2022 . One may go through the articles below published in various news papers :

After lot of follow ups and mails written to the college, I got a mail from admission cell on Aug 24, 2022 .. stating that Rs 10, 000 was deducted towards registration fee, which is factually incorrect .

Are colleges now above board and have the audacity to violate and ignore UGC guidelines . It is extremely shameful to see that a reputed educational institution like Christ University is resorting to such cheap ways and means to earn money and fleece innocent children .
