What is the cancellation procedure of an admission at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad campus and the refund of the fee?

The cancellation policy has been kept the same at all three campuses.

You will be shortlisted for admission or put on the waiting list in the Integrated First Degree Programme on the basis of BITSAT. Then you are required to pay the fees in advance for the respective subject.

• If the application form already has specified the respective program you’re willing to pursue, you will have to pay the admission fee i.e 28,050/- and the first-semester tuition fees i.e. 1,13,300/- within the deadline. In case you are still on the waiting list, you will need to only pay the admission fee.
• However, if you’re offered admission but choose to remit by not reporting at the institute on the given date then you can forfeit the total fees, in case the seat remains vacant due to withdrawal. After a deduction of INR 1000, the remaining amount will be refunded.
• If you accept the admission offer and choose to withdraw after reporting at the campus on the due date, you will be able to only withdraw the first semester fees, worth INR 1,13,300.
• Now, due to the slide-up procedures, the seat remaining vacant will be attempted to fill up in the later iterations following the first.
• In case you are on the waiting list until even the final date, the collected fees will be refunded back within the specified date.
• If you choose to pay the admission fee, you cannot subsequently remit from the process that includes “sliding up”, which simply means opting for other options like reassigning a program or choosing a different campus than the one already enrolled at.
• During the remission of fees, you’re not permitted to stipulate any order or conditions, such as changing the preferences, or other relevant factors that come with it. It will be ignored if even mentioned. However, if you’re one of the shortlisted candidates, then the conditions stipulated might be applicable.

The institute, by all means, can refuse admission on varied criteria without assigning further reasons behind the process. Principally, the ultimatum provided by the Vice-Chancellor shall be considered the final decision, regardless of any factor whatsoever.
