Top school in indiaa keeping 100% of fees despite withdrawal 8 months before school starts.. recourse?
We're facing a frustrating situation and would appreciate any advice. We enrolled our child in one of the top schools in indiaa and paid the admission and first-year tuition fees. Several months later, due to a change in circumstances, we informed the school that our child would not be attending.
The issue is that we withdrew more than 8 months before the academic year even starts. Despite having ample time to fill the seat, the school is refusing to refund any portion of the fee. Their position is simply that we signed an agreement stating that all admission and tuition fees would be forfeited if we withdrew. But our circumstances changed and it was a very lop sided contract open to dispute.
The total amount being retained is nearly USDD 10,000, which is a significant sum. Do which school is willing to refund 500 usdd only. Have tried speaking with the school, but they refuse to consider And their response is always the same: "You signed the agreement."
My questions are:
Can a school legally retain 100% of tuition and admission fees when a student withdraws 8 months before classes begin?
Does it matter whether the school was able (or failed) to fill the vacant seat?
Has anyone successfully challenged a similar policy through consumer courts, education authorities, or other legal channels in indiaa?
Any guidance or experiences would be greatly appreciated. What shd we do if we do not want to avoid going legal with them
