Quick Summary

A student's original certificates are being withheld by their nursing institute, preventing them from applying for competitive exams. The institute is also demanding the full remaining course fees. It's advised that institutes cannot legally retain original documents or demand advance fees for the entire course, as this may be considered an unfair trade practice. Students can issue a notice to the institute and, if necessary, file a complaint with the District Consumer Commission.

Neither Institute can retain your original documents nor legally demand remaining two years fees in advance.Institute such act comes under the purview of unfare trade practice.Issue notice to Institute snd demand your original documents and if notice is not complied with then file complaint before District Consumer Commission against Institute.
