Hello Gaurav Mundada, I acknowledge your question. Under section 2(1)(d) of the Consumer Protection Act,2019 consumer is any person who buys any goods for consideration or hires or avails any services for consideration. A student is one who avails educational services in return to the amount as fee paid and under Consumer Protection Act,2019 student is also considered as consumer. Likely you can make a complaint to the consumer forum of the respective jurisdiction for the deficiency in services or for unfair trade practices. The same was also held in the case of FIITJEE Ltd. V Vikram Sethi, 2019, the Chandigarh state commission, granted compensation to the aggrieved student towards refund of fees for not availing services of the institute. And the same if not done amounts to unfair trade practice and deficiency in services.
I hope I have answered your question.
Have a good day.
