Refund shall be processed to an eligible student within 30 working days from the date of receipt of a written application from him/her in this regard.

Deferral Policy: (Post Programme Commencement)

If a learner is facing severe issues in dedicating time to a course, then we provide them an opportunity to defer to another batch.
A learner can request for deferral ONLY ONCE and to one of the next four scheduled cohorts of the same program within 1 year of the start of the program.
The learner will be required to pay a deferral fee, which is 10% of the program fee*.
The deferral request will be approved once the deferral fee is paid. Till this step is completed, the learner will be assumed to be continuing in the same cohort.
The learner will start learning on the new cohort from the point of leaving the deferred cohort.
If, however, the deferral request is raised before the issue of login to the upGrad learn platform, then the 10% deferral fee will not be charged and the learner will be deferred to the next scheduled cohort.
A learner will not be allowed to defer if they are failing or bound to fail in a course. Since all the grades till the time of deferral are carried over to the batch that a student defers to, the deferring will not help the student complete the program.
You can reach out to the student support team to understand which cohort you will be mapped with in case you choose to defer anytime during your learning journey.
*The deferral fee is defined as 10% of the TOTAL program fee. This is irrespective of the discount/scholarship that a student would have received. The deferral fee is payable based on the program fee at the time of enrolment of a student. The policy also states that if the price has been increased and if a student is deferring to a cohort with increased price, then they need to pay the differential fee for the new cohort along with the deferral fee.

Deferral Policy: (Pre Programme Commencement)

If a student, due to unavoidable circumstances, is unable to commence with the cohort and requests for a deferral before the cohort starts, we provide the opportunity for the student to defer to another cohort.
To do so, the student will be required to pay 50% of the total Programme fee amount (inclusive of taxes) before the deferral can be approved. Till this is completed, the student will be assumed to be continuing in the same cohort.
A student can request for deferral to any of the cohorts starting in the next 3 months from the start date of the initial batch in which the student was originally enrolled. For the first deferral request, subject to the point no. 2 of the Pre-Programme Deferral Policy, no additional charges shall be levied.
If a student wants to defer his enrolment a second time, such student will have to make an additional payment of Rs.10,000 as Deferral fee, and this amount shall be non-refundable under any circumstances. Once this payment is done, students will be eligible to defer to any of the cohorts starting in the next 3 months from the current cohort.
The student has time till the current cohort launch date to make the payment of the balance 50% Programme fee, post which the deferral request will expire. Once the deferral window expires and if such a student wants to withdraw his or her enrolment from the said Programme, the refund policy will be applicable.
The student shall be liable to pay the differential Programme fees between the two cohorts if any.
