Part 1: Refund Guidelines – CS Student Admission Fees
These rules apply to students applying for registration in the CS Course (CSEET / Executive / Professional).
1️⃣ Deduction of Administrative Charges (₹500)
If a student applies for CS registration, but:
The application is rejected due to ineligibility.
Then:
The student will get a refund
However, ₹500 will be deducted as administrative charges
So, refund = Total fees paid – ₹500
This applies only when the registration is not accepted by the Institute.
2️⃣ Once Registration is Accepted – No Refund
If your CS registration application is:
Approved and accepted by ICSI
Then:
❌ No part of the fee is refundable under any circumstances.
This is clearly stated in the official guidelines.
So, students must carefully check eligibility before applying.
3️⃣ Pending Applications for More Than One Year
As per the decision taken in the 232nd Council Meeting of ICSI:
If a registration application remains pending for more than one year:
The application may be rejected
30% of the actual admission fees will be deducted
Meaning:
Refund = 70% of fees paid
Deduction = 30% of fees
