    I have joined Engineering through KCET in 2021 but due to some reasons I withhold my studies and I really didn't aware of that the KCET will refund the fees amount but now I get to know about it. So, whether I could get any fees refund now ?

    Hello Dear Student,

    If the admission fee was paid through KEA counselling and the seat was not surrendered within the prescribed withdrawal period, obtaining a refund at this stage is generally unlikely. As per the counselling guidelines, refunds and seat cancellations are usually processed only during the specified counselling schedule.
