To alleviate financial hardships faced by parents and students, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has ordered all higher educational institutions to refund the entire fee collected if an admission is cancelled before October 31 of the academic year.
On July 12, 2022, UGC had asked higher education institutions to fix the last date of their undergraduate admission process after declaration of the CBSE class XII results, so as to provide sufficient time for all students for admission.
