At other places, wherever possible, iBOOKS has registered Hostels and Transport Owners. They give Hostel and/or Transport facilities to specifically the iBOOKS students. The Transports usually pick up students from the nearest specified pick-up points and not from home. They have their own rules and regulations.

SECTION - II : COURSE FEE, Discounts & Scholarships details
The student, taking admission, under IPS or OTP schemes (Specified below) has to pay a one time administrative non-refundable expense called REGISTRATION FEE as a part of the course fee in the beginning. This is an expense incurred by iBOOKS within the first 5 days of admission.
Three schemes of payment of course fees are available : One Time Payment, henceforth referred to as OTP, Instalment Payment Scheme, henceforth referred to as IPS and Equal Monthly Instalments, henceforth referred to as EMI.
Option of payment schemes (OTP or IPS or EMI), must be exercised at the time of admission.
Conversion from IPS/EMI to OTP is possible, before the due date of the second instalment with payment of additional conversion fee of Rs500/- (service tax extra).
In such cases final amount payable at the time of such conversion will be equal to [total OTP fee of cheque mode - actual amount paid in first instalment + Rs 500/- ( service tax extra)].
Conversion from IPS/EMI to OTP after due date of second instalment is subject to permission by iBOOKS on a case to case basis.
A written application shall have to be made by the applicant and/or his/her parent/guardian for this.
In such cases the conversion fee shall be proportional to the delay in converting to OTP. The conversion fee shall be equal to Rs1000/- (service tax extra) per instalment already due in IPS scheme till the date of receipt of application at iBOOKS.
The student and the parent/guardian opting for schemes other than EMI know very well that by doing so they are foregoing the option to receive any proportional refund, should they decide to discontinue from the course at any time during the course period.
In case of revision/imposition of service and/or other taxes, at a later date, leviable to the student by the Central/State Government or other regulatory bodies / agencies, the same will be borne additionally by the student, after such announcement. In case of OTP (along with Registration fees) also the proportionate extra amount, if any, to be paid to the Central/State Government or other regulatory bodies / agencies, arising out of such imposition/revision of service and/or other taxes, is to be paid by the student to iBOOKS within the stipulated time period.
In case of OTP :
Refund is permitted on permanent discontinuation of course (including cancellation of studentship as per clause given earlier in this agreement). For refund, the student has to fill up “Application For Refund” (AFR) subject to the clause about KPS given in this agreement.
Amount Refundable in OTP scheme : Refund amount = (OTP amount actually paid by student after discounts, if any) – (Total amount of installments payable under IPS/EMI , till and including the month in which “Application For Refund” is made) – (KPS already paid, if any) – Non-refundable Registration fee.
In case of IPS / EMI :
In case of a student, paying fees by IPS/EMI, wishes to permanently discontinue from the course, he/she must do all of the following:
Apply in writing to iBooks (signature of parent/guardian is also required on the same).
Pay all instalments including the instalment of the month in which he/she makes such an application.
Return back to iBOOKS all the scholarship received till that date.
Note that the instalments are not Monthly tuition fees. The only purpose of Instalment Payment Scheme (IPS) or Equal Monthly Instalments (EMI) is to make the course-fee payment easy for the student. Thus all the instalments are to be paid even if the student absents, for any duration and for any reason whatsoever, during the course period or even absents/discontinues or fails to take action as per the clause given above.
The due date of the instalments is anytime on or before 6th of the corresponding month except in case of last instalment where it shall be on or before 1st of the month.
Delay in payment of instalments : A maximum delay of 10 days in the payment of instalment is permissible with late fees of Rs 20/- per day. In case of the last instalment this allowable delay shall be only 3 days. After this period, the name of the student will be struck off rolls and shall amount to permanent discontinuation of the student from the course.
Re-registration : Re-registration is not permitted. However upon written application, the Chairman of iBOOKS, at his absolute discretion, may permit re-registration on payment of “Re-registration fee” of Rs 500/- +Service Tax along with the previous outstanding instalments.
An installment, once paid under IPS / EMI scheme, isNOT refundable except when a student is refused admission as per clauses given in this agreement.
No instalment can be paid more than 30 days in advance.
Scholarships :
iBOOKS may frame rules for payment of scholarship to students from time to time.
This scholarship is currently referred to as KPS, wherever mentioned in this agreement.
Students who complete the course are alone eligible for scholarships.
Payment of scholarship shall be at the sole discretion of iBOOKS.
Scholarship (KPS) is given by iBOOKS at its own initiative and out of its own fund. Thus KPS rules and its continuity are at the absolute discretion of iBOOKS. In case of any confusion as regards Kashi Padma Scholarship (KPS), the decision of the Chairman of iBOOKS shall be final.
Any applicant and/or his/her parent/guardian cannot claim payment of KPS from iBooks under any circumstance.
Discounts :
All discounts are available to students who complete the course.
Students opting for EMI shall be eligible only for Merit Discount and other discounts like Special Discount from Head Office shall not be applicable to them.
In case of IPS/EMI, all discounts, if any, shall be adjusted from the last instalments.
In case of OTP all discounts, if any, shall be adjusted at the time of payment of OTP fees.
Whenever a student is eligible for more than one discount, only one discount, whichever is highest, will be applicable.
