UPTAC Fees Refund : aktu

If you participated in UPTAC counseling for the 2025–26 session, there’s big news from AKTU. The university has officially issued a high-priority notice regarding the refund of the initial counseling fee.

But as usual, the official circular is short and technical so this guide breaks everything down in simple words for both students and colleges.

Let’s understand what the notice actually says, what colleges must do immediately, and what students can expect.

What AKTU Announced in the Latest Notice

Here’s a clear breakdown of the exact points mentioned in the university’s official circular:

So the core message is simple:

AKTU will refund the initial fee, but colleges must verify their bank details on ERP to avoid transaction issues.

What This Means for Colleges and Institutions

AKTU is transferring all refunds directly based on bank details uploaded on the ERP portal. That makes accuracy absolutely critical.

Colleges must immediately check these details:

1. Account number
2. IFSC code
3. Branch name
4. Account holder name
5. Whether the account is active

A single-digit error can cause the refund to bounce or go into the wrong account.

Why ERP Verification Matters

Think of it like sending a parcel:

If you wrote the wrong address, the delivery company isn’t responsible for where it ends up.

Same here — AKTU clearly states:

It is not responsible for any wrong transactions caused by incorrect details.

So institutions should double-check everything today itself.

What Students Should Know About the Refund

Even though the notice is addressed to colleges, students are the ones waiting for the money. Here’s what you should keep in mind:

1. The refund is being processed by AKTU

You don’t need to go to your college and beg for updates — the university handles the process centrally.

2. No separate refund application needed

Based on typical UPTAC processes (even though not explicitly mentioned), students usually don’t need to fill any forms.

The refund is issued automatically.

3. Timeline depends on colleges

The notice says the process is “प्रक्रियाधीन” — meaning it’s ongoing.

But refunds can only be transferred after:

1. Colleges verify/rectify their ERP bank details
2. AKTU completes backend processing

4. Keep your payment proofs safe

Always keep your UPTAC payment receipt handy for future reference.
