Refund Policy

1. General Refund Policy

  • All refunds are subject to the specific terms of the course/program in which the student is enrolled.
  • Each course has a different refund policy, and the refund amount/timeline may vary depending on the program.

  • If admission is taken through a third-party partner or school, their terms may also apply.

2. Program-Specific Refund Policies Each program offered under Apni Patshala Gurukulam has its own refund guidelines.
The following sections explain the general structure, but exact refund terms will be mentioned separately at the time of admission for each course.
2.1 School Integrated Program (SIP) – Refund Policy The refund policy for School Integrated Program is different from Online and Offline programs because:
  • Classes are conducted within the partner school premises
  • Teachers and resources are allocated for the full academic year
  • School academic schedules and seat allotment are fixed
General SIP Refund Guidelines
  • Fees paid for SIP are generally non-refundable after the academic session begins.
  • Refunds, if applicable, are allowed only before the start of the academic year and after deducting:
    • Registration charges
    • Administrative charges
    • Resource allocation cost
  • Once a student attends one or more classes, no refund is provided.
  • School fees and institution fees are handled as per the school’s independent policy.
Note: The school may have its own refund terms, which must also be followed.
2.2 Online Course Refund Policy Refund rules for online programs are separate and vary course-to-course. General Online Course Guidelines

  • Enrollment fees or technology fees may be non-refundable.
