Hello dear student,
As you have accepted and upgraded in round 3 COMEDK, your round 3 seat is safe. if you are not happy with the round 4 seat, you can just simply skip it as you will safely keep your round 3 seat . but if you accept the round 4 seat, you must join the college there's no option to cancel or get a refund and if you accept round 4 but don't report to the college, you'll lose your money and also have to pay penalty. so, unless and until you are fully sure about the higher fees, it will better to stay with your round 3 seat.
It is not guaranteed that the fees will remain same for all four years. In private institutions under COMEDK, the fees may increase upto 15% depending on different institutions. For the safer side you can contact in accounts office of your college.
Hello,
Yes, in private colleges under COMEDK, the fee can increase by 5–10% annually depending on the institution. Some colleges keep the same fee throughout 4 years, but many revise slightly. Safest way—ask your college accounts office.
All the best!
