Minister Pokhriyal further added that a full refund for the admission cancellation will be
made to students till November.

"To avoid financial hardship being faced by the parents due to lockdown and related
factors, a full refund of fees will be made on account of all cancellation of admissions/
migration of students, up to 30.11.2020, for this very session as a special case," he said.

On cancellation/ withdrawal of admissions up to December 31, 2020, the entire fee

collected from a student will be refunded in full after deduction of not more than ₹1000
as processing fee.

The UGC had, in April, released an alternative academic calendar for colleges, with the
plan to reopen colleges in September, but the delay in entrance exams and covid
infections surge has pushed the session by two months.

Supreme Court on Tuesday also asked Central Board of Secondary Education(CBSE) to

declare results of compartment exams as soon as possible and coordinate with UGC to
enable around 2 lakh students to apply in colleges in the current academic year.
