I have secured admission to one of the new IIMs but I already deposited admission fee to a good B school in Delhi NCR, now I want to get refund from that institute and wish to pursue PGDM from IIM.

MBAUniverse.com has frequently been receiving the queries and to help the candidates we have devised the format of fee refund application as per AICTE guidelines.

Lot of fierce degree debate is going on in the political circles of our country on the education of Smriti Irani, our new HRD Minister. We believe it is not the qualification but the competence to deliver that matters.

On the other hand not so qualified ones, with their great vision and leadership qualities effected many positive changes in our country.
