Latest Issue Solvers
How It Works
Most cases see meaningful action within 7–14 days.
Document recovery: 3–5 days average. Fee disputes: 2–6 weeks.
1. Secure Submission
100% PRIVATEYou submit your issue (fees, marksheet, etc.) without needing an account. Your identity is strictly shielded from the college.
2. Case Evaluation
24-48 HRSOur volunteer legal experts and senior peers review your grievance against UGC/AICTE mandates.
3. Guided Action Plan
We give you the exact RTI template, legal notice format, or escalation script tailored to your specific college and issue type.
4. Resolution Support
We document your case publicly (with consent), connect you with student legal aid networks, and escalate to UGC/AICTE grievance portals on your behalf — creating real institutional pressure.
Not every case ends in full resolution — but every student leaves knowing exactly where they stand, what their rights are, and what to do next.
Your Legal Arsenal
When colleges bully students, they rely on you not knowing the actual national regulations. Here are the exact UGC and AICTE mandates you can quote to make them back down.
Document Retention Ban
Colleges are strictly prohibited from retaining your original marksheets, degrees, or birth certificates under any circumstances, even if fees are pending.
100% Fee Refund Policy
If you withdraw your admission before the stipulated deadline, colleges must refund 100% of your fees (minus a maximum ₹1,000 processing fee). They cannot withhold seat-booking amounts.
Capitation Fee Ban
Charging undocumented "donations", "building funds", or capitation fees beyond the official published fee structure is a severe statutory violation and punishable by loss of affiliation.
National Anti-Ragging Helpline
Ragging is a criminal offense. The national helpline is completely free, available 24x7, and your identity remains strictly confidential. Do not wait for the college to act.
