Accepted Answer

Refund Policy: (Programmes with prep-session component)

Students must pay applicable caution money for the enrollment of the Post-Graduation Course in HRM. This will be adjustable against the total course fee payable by the student.

You can claim a refund for the fee paid at any time before the cohort start date by sending an email request to your Student Mentor and Admissions Counselor with the reasons listed. There shall be no refund applicable once the PG HRM program has started. This is applicable even for those students who could not complete their payment, and could not be enrolled in the batch opted for. However, the student can avail of pre-deferral as per the policy defined below for the same.

Once the student pays the block amount, "any" refund shall be subject to deduction of ₹10,000 processing charges.

The student has to pay the full fee within 7 days of payment of caution money or cohort start date, whichever is earlier, otherwise, the admission letter will be rescinded and a processing fee of ₹10,000 will be levied.

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:
If a learner is facing severe issues in dedicating time to a course, then we provide them with 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 PG in HR 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 in 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 within 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 an increased price, then they need to pay the differential fee for the new cohort along with the deferral fee.

Initially your bank will block the entire amount from your available purchase limit and from your next billing cycle, you will be charged the EMI amount.

For example, if you have made a payment of ₹100000 on 6-months EMI and your credit limit is ₹200,000 then initially your bank will block your credit limit by ₹100000. After payment of your first month EMI of Rs.15000, the blocked amount will come down to ₹85000.

Why is interest getting charged on No Cost EMI?

Your bank will charge you interest. However, this interest charge has been provided to you as an upfront discount at the time of your payment, effectively giving you the benefit of a No cost EMI.

Eg. Amount payable to upGrad: INR 405000
Let's say Amount deducted at the time of transaction: INR 379850 (Principal amount) Bank charges interest of 12-15% per annum on INR 379850
[Note: Interest factor is reducing rate and not Flat rate]
EMI AMOUNT = INR 33750 x 12 = INR 405000
