The percentage of your tuition fee refunded depends entirely on when you submit the withdrawal request.  The final dates or full and partial tuition fee refund are inclined to the official commencement of the classes, which usually starts in July.

Advance fee in VIT is partial amount that must be paid after seat allotment to book allocated seat. It can vary for different categories. Once candidate makes payment, he/she is not allowed to attend further rounds of counselling.

The advance fee payment in VITEEE is a partial amount that must be paid after seat allotment to confirm your admission. On the other hand, the balance fee is the remaining tuition fee for that academic year that finalises your enrolment.
