1) General Principles
- a) Refunds are processed only in accordance with this Policy; exceptions are at IITE’s sole discretion.
- b) All approved refunds are issued to the original payment method. Cash refunds are not provided.
- c) Timelines stated below are working days (Mon–Fri) and exclude bank/PG partner delays.
2) Cooling‑Off (Before Course Start)
- a) For classroom or live‑online programs, a 7‑day cooling‑off window applies from the payment date or until the published start date, whichever is earlier.
- b) Within this window, you may cancel for a full refund minus non‑refundable payment gateway charges and any statutory taxes already remitted.
3) After Course Start / Access Granted
Refunds are not available once any of the following occur:
- a) You attend any class/live session; or
- b) You access or download any course material; or
- c) You use any assessment, lab, or proctored test; or
- d) Access window/credentials have been issued to you.
Hardship Consideration: Documented emergencies (medical/relocation, etc.) reported within 10 days of course start may be considered for partial relief (up to 30%) at IITE’s discretion.
4) Digital/Recorded/Micro‑Courses & Downloadables
Fees for purely digital/recorded/self‑paced courses, e‑books, question banks, or downloadable content are non‑refundable once access is granted.
5) Duplicate/Excess Payments & Failed Transactions
- a) Verified duplicate/excess charges are refunded in full (excluding non‑recoverable gateway fees) within 7–10 business days after verification.
- b) If a transaction is debited but not captured, please share the bank statement/UTR for reconciliation.
6) Cancellations by IITE
- a) If IITE cancels or reschedules due to low enrollment, faculty unavailability, force majeure, or technical issues, you may choose either:
- b) Full refund to the original payment method; or
- c) Free transfer to another batch/course of equal value.
7) Scholarship/Discounted Enrollments
Any refund is calculated on the actual amount paid after discounts/scholarships, not on the list price.
8) Corporate/Group Enrollments
Separate commercial terms may apply as per the executed agreement. In case of conflict, the agreement prevails over this Policy.
9) How to Request a Refund/Change
- a) Email support@iite.co.in with your full name, registered email/phone, course name, payment receipt/order ID, reason, and supporting documents.
- b) We may seek additional information to verify your identity and eligibility.
- c) Approved refunds are typically initiated within 7 business days. Posting to your account depends on your bank or payment partner.
10) Taxes & Charges
- a) GST/statutory taxes remitted to authorities may be non‑refundable if reversal isn’t permitted by law.
- b) Gateway/processing charges are typically non‑refundable once a transaction is captured.
11) No‑Show & Attendance
Failure to attend scheduled sessions without an approved deferral is considered a no‑show and is not eligible for refunds.
12) Abuse & Misuse
IITE may refuse refunds and restrict access in cases of abuse, fraud, chargeback abuse, or violation of Terms/academic integrity.
