University Grants Commission directed the Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) to refund the fees of those students who migrated to other institutions
In an official notification, the University Grants Commission (UGC) directed the Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) to refund the fees of those students who migrated to other institutions
The notification was issued after UGC received complaints from aggrieved students seeking a refund of fees paid to the institutes after migrating to different institutions.
“UGC has been receiving several complaints regarding non-refund of fee against many Higher Educational Institutions (HEls). UGC has requested all the HEls vide mails and reminders to act on the complaints received from the students seeking a refund of fees paid to the Institutes after those students migrated to other Institutions,” read the notification by UGC.
UGC also reminded the universities that non-compliance to the regulations will call for punitive action as prescribed under the relevant guidelines.
