There will be litigation if forfeiture happens. The Consortium will get thrashed in the court as usual. Then they will refund anyway.
There is an UGC regulation. It requires the universities to refund 90% of the fees even if a student withdraws within the first semester.
Send a legal notice to Sudhir. He's responsible for any forfeiture. Cite the UGC rule in the notice.
NLS advertises the UGC refund regulations prominently on its website.https://www.nls.ac.in/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/UGC-Refund-Policy-AY-2023-24-1.pdf
I am in the same boat. Got the same tripe about confirmation fees being non-refundable. Pointed to the UGC regulations, crickets from them so far.

Not sure how to proceed from here.
No. About to file a complaint to the UGC. Should I send a legal notice to CONNLU? Can someone more experienced weigh in on this?
Yes, you can. File a complaint to the UGC and also copy the individual VCs in it. Tag the places in your social media handles too, as well as the current UGC chairperson, who is quite active on Linkedin and X. That often sees quick actions from the people involved.
Thanks for responding. I will do that. One question, though: copy the individual VCs, as in send the complaint to the email addresses of the NLU VCs?
Hi did you got the confirmation fee refund? is it non refundable
According to the UGC it is. CONNLU... well, as long as they do not mention the UGC or its guidelines, maybe they think they can just keep the money?
