I) The Hon’ble Supreme Court in its
judgment in the case of Islamic Academy of Education and others Vs. State of
Karnataka and Others, on 14th August, 2003, ordered that: “if the students left the course
in midstream then for the remaining years the seat would lie vacant and the
institute would suffer. In our view an educational institution can only charge
prescribed fees for one semester/year, if an institution feels that any
particular student may leave in midstream then, at the highest, it may require
that student to give a bond/bank guarantee that the balance fees for the whole
course would be received by the institute even if the student left in midstream”.
II) The AICTE. New Delhi in its Advt.
No.AICTE/Legal/04 (01)/2007, has mentioned the following:- ” In the event of a student /
candidate withdrawing before the starting of the course, the wait list
candidates should be given admissions against the vacant seat. The entire fee
collected from•the student, after a deduction of the processing fee of not more
than Rs.1,000/- shall be refunded and returned by the institution/ University
to the student I candidate withdrawing from the programme. It would not be permissible
for the institutions and Universities to retain the school / Institution
Leaving certificates in original. Should a student leave after joining the
course and if the seat consequently falling Vacant has been filled by another
candidate by the last date of admission, the institution must return the fee
collected with proportionate deductions of monthly fee ‘ and proportionate
hostel rent where applicable.”
Therefore,
the Commissioner of Technical Education , A.P. , Hyderabad is requested to
