The referral code applied by the friend who has blocked the seat and has enrolled with upGrad, the referral code once entered by the friend cannot be modified/changed from the backend team. In this case, the learner is not entitled to any referral rewards. (Please note:- If the referral code once entered by a friend is incorrect, the policy remains the same).

That could be because -

1. The referee has not used your code on the application.
2. The referee’s batch has not yet started.
3. The referee has not paid the full fees for the course.
4. Your referral code is openly available on social media.

Referee benefits are provided in the form of a fee waiver and can be availed at the time of making your fee payment except for programs from the following universities - NMIMS, IIT- Delhi, Amrita University and Chandigarh University - where the benefits are processed in the form of a cashback.

A referral benefit is different from a scholarship & in case your query is pertaining to the scholarship, please reach out to your admissions counsellor.

In case the referral benefit was not pre-applied in the form of a fee waiver, please connect with your admission counsellor regarding the same.
