Admission processes vary from university to university. Here are some common options:
Example 1: If the total fees are ₹1,00,000 and you pay ₹20,000 to secure admission, and you later receive a 60% scholarship, the remaining amount you need to pay will be ₹20,000 after the scholarship is applied.
Example 2: If you pay ₹1,00,000 in fees and are awarded a 50% scholarship, the university will rebate ₹50,000 to you.
If your scholarship covers less than the admission fee you paid, the university will rebate the difference. For example, if you paid ₹1,00,000 and received a 40% scholarship, you will get a rebate of ₹40,000.
If your scholarship amount exceeds the initial admission fee, the excess amount may be refunded to you, credited towards future fees, deposited into your student account, or reallocated based on your institution’s policies. Check with univsersity’s admission office for specific details.
Securing admission ensures your place at the university while the scholarship decision is pending. It prevents you from missing out on an academic year and allows you to start your studies on time. Once the scholarship is granted, your fees will be adjusted accordingly.
