Fee, refund and stipend
Pay online through Razorpay when you register: UPI, cards, net banking or wallets. Your seat is held for 30 minutes while you pay; if the payment does not go through, the seat is released and you can register again. Every payment gets a receipt by email. We never ask you to pay by phone, by message or into a personal account.
Refunds: Full refund if your registration is not accepted, if you withdraw before the intake starts, or if the foundation cancels the intake. Refunds go back to the account you paid from within 7 working days. No refund after the start date.
Proposed for students who score at least 60 out of 100 and complete the programme: an internship stipend of ₹18,000 and a refund of the ₹1,000 enrolment fee, ₹19,000 in all, paid directly to your bank account after your results, completion (85% attendance) and bank details are verified.
This is subject to approval and funding and is not yet confirmed. Once it is sanctioned, this page will name the funder and the sanction letter. Students scoring below 60 are not eligible. Register for the training itself, not on the expectation of a stipend.
Ignore any call or message that promises you a stipend or a refund in return for paying a fee.
