5. Payment of fees for re-admission in case of admission Deferment:

At the time of re-admission into the programme, fees of the current batch (from the 1st semester and onwards) i.e. current ongoing academic year will be applicable to the students seeking admission deferment. Additionally, 5% of total annual fee applicable to current academic year at the time of re-admission into the programme is payable as readmission fee after re-admission into the programme. For example: The student has paid 1st installment of fees and took admission deferment. At the time of re-admission into the programme the student will have to pay difference between new applicable fees for 1st semester i.e. 1st installment of fees for current academic year and fees already paid by the student prior to admission deferment. A student has paid ‘x’ fees as 1st installment of fees in 2023 and took admission deferment. He joins 1st semester in 2024. Current fees of 1st semester i.e. 1st installment of fees for the current academic year is ‘y’ and fees for 2nd semester is ‘z’. Then, amount payable by the student is Rs. ‘(y-x) + [5% of (y+z)]’. From 2nd semester onwards, student will have pay fees as per fees structure of current ongoing batch after re-admission into the programme.
