The Vice-Chancellor (VC) and Registrar of the International Institute of
Information Technology (IIIT) in Hyderabad are facing the possibility of
contempt action in relation to a fee refund dispute. The Telangana High
Court has taken a serious view of the matter after numerous complaints were
filed by students and parents regarding the institute’s alleged failure to
issue refunds for the academic year. The court had previously directed the
IIIT-Hyderabad administration to refund the fees to students who had
withdrawn their admissions, citing the pandemic as the reason. However, the
institute reportedly failed to comply with the court’s orders, leading to
the current situation. The court is expected to initiate contempt
proceedings against the VC and Registrar if the fee refund issue is not
resolved promptly.
