Frequently Asked Questions on Coaching Expenses
Do coaching institutes allow fee payment in installments?
Yes, virtually all verified institutes offer 2 to 4 zero-cost installment tranches. Many also partner with education financing companies for monthly EMI options.
What is the typical refund policy if a student leaves early?
Under consumer protection guidelines, institutes must provide prorated refunds if students withdraw within 15 to 30 days of batch commencement, minus registration charges.
Is hostel accommodation included in the coaching fee?
