But if he/she has submitted refund application on 13th December, 2018, then the number of days to be counted for refund calculation will be from 4th July uptill 13th December = 163 days.

Moreover, any fee due or pending payments or penalties due towards AESL shall also be debited from the security deposit amount.

Note for Course Fee: No Cash will be accepted for Course Fee which includes Registration Fee, Admission Fee & Installments.
