Nope, you won't get refund if admission process is completed. You can get refund only when the purpose of the process is not fulfilled. as you said, you have already taken admission which means purpose of counselling process is completed.
you won't get refund now. for more information, please visit the help desk of the institute @ http://www.iiswbm.edu/

Answer laterIs it the good decision to choose IISWBM KOLKATA over IIM JAMMU ??
I got selected in both IIM Jammu and IISWBM Kolkata...Which college is good for doing MBA ??
See both colleges are good. and both of them have their own pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages and their own uniqueness. But if i were at your place, then I might go with IISWBM Kolkata college to be on the safer side. It has great placements as welll apart from the infrastructure and good teaching faculties.

Best wishes. Thankyou.
if I pursue hospital and healthcare mba from Iiswbm will I get a good job? I completed my graduation in 2016. I have no work exp .I am also selected in lpu.which institute should i join??
hi,
see iiswbm is a premier institute in kolkata, but it average placement packages offered is not high compare to other tier 1 institute. I suggest you to go for lovely professional university in place of iiswbm since it has around 100 percent placement record, college also offers grooming sessions for candidates who are preparing for campus interviews.
which one is better to pusue mba lpu or Iiswbm for hospital and healthcare mgmt mba
Hello!
My first cousin did MBA from LPU. Initially she had a confusion whether she should join LPU or not because she had qualified CAT that too with good percentile. She could easily get seat in any good elite B-school, but she choose LPU after talking to her senior who had completed MBA from LPU and placed in a top ranking MNC and that too on a lucrative package.
She was worried about reviews but then Her senior told her that If you ask someone who was not eligible for in campus placements will say that placements or college is not good and person will find faults in everything. He suggested her not to invest so much (1520 lacs) On MBA when majority of people are getting 57 Lacs as compensatory package. He suggested that LPU is worth Joining as it pays better returning in terms of education and jobs. She told few points and I hope those will help you to make the decision:
Faculty: Most of faculty members are from IIM or from elite B- Schools (India/Abroad. They have decade of experience. Faculty was really helping. Even they helped her after regular university hours for her projects. Standard of students: They did not compromise on the quality of the students. They have a rigorous admission process. Admission can be taken if you have good percentage and you have good percentile in entrance + marks in interview.
Courses offered: They have ample of specializations in MBA and also provides dual specializations. Batch size: In every section they had 4060 Students. Placements: University provides with opportunities and it's up to the students to grab it. My cousin got placed in the very first drive of placements that too on package of 15.20LPA.
All I can say is LPU brings in lot more companies (apx. 450+) and the average package revolves around 5 to 6 Lacs per annum. Its up to you how you prepare yourself for the placements and stand out from the herd. LPU provide different classes for placements which helps in grooming. Students are trained in Aptitude, Reasoning, free preparation for government Exams, Soft Skills and language training, Interview skills right from the 1st year, continuously for 2/3/4 ( duration of course) years till they get job. Fees: Scholarship is an Integral part of their fee Structure and fee is less as compare to B-schools. Better the student, lesser is the fee.
Take your time and Make a good decision.
All the best.
