Case on coaching institute

Hello,

If coaching institute is the service provider and student is the consumer, then can a student file a case on the coaching institute claiming to refund all the fee paid.

I want to know if it is legal or not. If yes, what precautions has been taken by the coaching institute to prevent such frauds done by the students and secure the brand value.

Thanks and Regards,

Apoorva

Unfair Trade Practice
Complainant: Kanishk Sharma
Defendant: Brilliant Tutorials
Ruling by: East Delhi District Consumer Forum

Even if you leave midway through the course, there is the possibility of a partial refund. In a case against a coaching institute, the forum observed thus: “A student may leave in the midstream if he finds the service deficient, and to tell him that fee once paid is not refundable is uncalled for and an unfair trade practice.”
