Higher Education Department of Madhya Pradesh is running Refund of Fees scheme in the 2026-27 admission session, and students who leave a college, fail after provisional admission, or get their online admission cancelled can claim their remaining fee back. Only ₹100 is kept as admission processing charge, and caution money is also returned as per the rules.
Refund requests are handled at college level, so students do not need to run to any state office. Applications for the ongoing 2026-27 session are being taken through the college office itself, and the amount is sent to the student bank account after checking.
Refund of Fees Scheme Madhya Pradesh Details
Students taking admission through e-Pravesh often change their course or college after the first allotment round. In such cases the fee already paid does not get stuck. Higher Education Department allows a refund of the balance admission fee along with caution money, after keeping ₹100 as processing charge. If a student is expelled from the college, only caution money comes back.
Rules stay the same for the 2026-27 session. Students who got a seat in a technical or professional course somewhere else can also claim the refund by showing the new admission proof. Same applies to students whose provisional admission ends because they failed the qualifying exam.
