Amity University U P Noida
- Forfeiting of Entire Hostel Fee and Partial Academic Fee by Amity University UP Noida upon timely wi Open
SHAILI PRIYA filed this complaint against Amity University U P Noida on Nov 24, 2021
With an ambition to go for higher education, I, Shaili Priya, daughter of Shri Mukesh Kumar, had taken admission to Amity University, Uttar Pradesh, Noida, with following details;
Name : SHAILI PRIYA
Application Form No. : *******
Enrl.No./Regn. No. : A********** Course/Subject : M.A. / English
Session : ****-**
University : Amity University, UP, Noida
Upon admission, I had paid the following amounts to the Amity University, Noida;
*. Hostel Fee of Rs.*,**,***/= (Rupees One Lakh Seventy Five Thousand only) which included Rs.*,**,***/= as Hostel Fee and Rs.**,***/= as Hostel Security Deposit
*. Academic Fee of Rs.**,***/= (Rupees Eighty Five Thousand Only) which included Rs.**,***/= as Academic Fee of *st Term and Rs.**,***/= as Academic Security Deposit.
Thereafter, I got a better opportunity and got admitted to Christ University, Bangalore (Main Campus), in the same course. Therefore, I withdrew my admission from Academic and Hostel of Amity University, Uttar Pradesh, Noida, which refunded the following amount to me.
*. Hostel Fee Refund of Rs.**,***/= as Hostel Security Deposit (Entire Hostel Fee of Rs.*,**,***/= forfeited)
*. Academic Fee Refund of Rs.**,***/= as Academic Security Deposit and **% of Academic Fee
The unfortunate part of the above is that I have been in continuous communication with the University and they have categorically written that the amounts already refunded to me are as per Amity University, UP (AUUP) Withdrawal Guidelines and hence and no any further refund amount is admissible in my case. This is clearly in contradiction with the Laws of Land and UGC Guidelines of July **** on “Examinations and Academic Calendar in view of the COVID-** Pandemic” for Under-Graduate and Post-Graduate students in respect of refund policy applicable to the fresh admissions for the Academic Session ****-**.
It may kindly be noted that I have withdrawn my admissions from hostel and academic of Amity University, UP, Noida on **.**.**** that is well before the last date **.**.**** and even before commencement of classes and hostel registration. I have followed all the norms/guidelines/instructions of the Amity University while withdrawing my admission. I neither have attended any class nor have occupied any hostel. The attitude of the University is quite unlawful, illegal and physically/mentally humiliating and harassing towards me specially in this Era of Pandemic (COVID**) even after I withdrew my admission timely and hence did not turn up for registration of the hostels and classes.
Sir, I have been in pain and in financial crisis as I observe that the entire Hostel Fee i.e. ***% of *,**,***/= and **% of the Academic Fee i.e. Rs.**,***/=, both totalling as Rs.*,**,***/= (Rupees One lakh Seventy Three Thousand Only), has been forfeited by the university. The amount is substantial for a student and, in this era of COVID**, it will help me in my future endeavours in my specialized area of higher education.
I must be grateful if you look into the injustice committed to me by the University and issue necessary instructions to them to refund my Hostel and Academic Fee as admissible as per Government Norms & Guidelines.
The list of my communications with Amity University, UP, Noida and excerpts from UGC Guidelines are enclosed herewith in Annexure-I and Annexure-II respectively.
Thanking you and looking forward to a KIND HELP from you.
