The scope of this document is to define the fee refund rules for the New Batch 2026.
The University Grants Commission has issued a Notification on Refund of Fees and Non-Retention of Original Certificates effective from October 2018 (“UGC Notification”).
From Year 2020 onwards, the UGC formally notifies the last date of admission (i.e. cutoff date) and it is binding on the University to comply with such dates. The UGC Notification of 2018 provides a five-tier system for refund of fees as follows:
| S.No. | Point of Time When Notice of Withdrawal of Admission is Served to the University | Percentage of Refund Aggregate Fee* |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Notice of withdrawal served more than 15 days before the formally notified last date of admission | 100% |
| 2 | Notice of withdrawal served less than 15 days before the formally notified last date of admission | 90% |
| 3 | Notice of withdrawal served less than 15 days after the formally notified last date of admission | 80% |
| 4 | Notice of withdrawal served more than 15 days but less than 30 days after the formally notified last date of admission | 50% |
| 5 | Notice of withdrawal served more than 30 days after the formally notified last date of admission | 0% (No Refund) |
* Aggregate Fee includes all amounts collected from the student including Caution Money. Caution money will be refunded in full irrespective of the date on which application of withdrawal is received.
Processing charges – Rs. 5,000/- to be deducted from the amounts received before the refund payout is processed. However, notwithstanding this policy, any communication from UGC may have an overriding effect.
Student Uniform set – In case, the student has been issued the official student blazer set, the student will be liable to return the same else, deduction of Rs. 2,500/- will be applicable from the amounts received before the refund payout is processed.
In exceptional circumstances, JLU may admit students after the formally notified last date of admission. In such cases, Refund policy will stay the same as the table aforementioned, where formally notified last date of admission for such students shall be the individual date on which they have been admitted. This date will be considered in the column titled “Point of time when notice of withdrawal of admission is served to the University”.
All initial requests for refunds must be received by the Office of Admissions and Outreach no later than 5 p.m. on the last deadline in each tier to be processed within that tier.
Send a request to admission@jlu.edu.in — this will be treated as a notice of withdrawal and the quantum of refund will be calculated as per the UGC five-tier table. Please include your name, programme, and application number in all communications.
Candidates will receive a refund application form and further instructions. Failure to follow the instructions closely and submit the completed refund application form will result in the refund being delayed.
The duly completed refund application form must be sent to admission@jlu.edu.in within 7 (seven) working days of being received by the applicant.
Applicants for refunds may undergo an exit interview with a member of the Admissions and Outreach staff/faculty prior to their application being processed. This interview is primarily for informational purposes and will in no way impact the status of the refund request unless the applicant rescinds the refund request themselves.
From the receipt of the completed refund application form, all refund requests will take at least 15 (fifteen) working days to process.
Any grievance regarding refunds under this policy must be sent to fee.info@jlu.edu.in
