Hii,

I really understand your situation students face the same during counselling. If you’ve already paid the fee in Phase 1 and got a better college in Phase 2, here are a few things you can do:

1. Check refund policy of the first college. You might get some part of your fee back, especially if you withdraw before the deadline.

2. Contact the second college's admission cell and explain your situation. Some colleges give short-term fee extensions or payment in two installments if you request in writing or visit personally.

3. If you need urgent funds, you could talk to your family about an educational loan (even a small one), or borrow temporarily to secure your dream college.

Act quickly, because colleges have limited windows. I hope you get into the college you truly want.

Wishing you good luck!
