- The one-time portal submission ledger charge of ₹200 is entirely non-refundable.

⚖️ IMPORTANT EXCLUSION NOTE ON CANCELLED MERIT The timeline percentages above apply only to clean, voluntary seat surrenders. If a seat is cancelled or voided by the college due to the discovery of fake transcripts, false category certificates, or intentionally hidden compartment details, the student will be disqualified and all fees will face 100% absolute forfeiture, regardless of the timeline.
⚖️ STATUTORY OVERRIDING STATEMENT: The financial ledger frameworks, reservation limits, and cancellation timelines tracked above mirror the official guidelines of Govind National College. However, the rolling rules, circulars, and notifications issued by Panjab University, Chandigarh and the Department of Higher Education, Punjab hold a absolute overriding effect over this prospectus text. In case of any interpretive or operational conflict, the final administrative decision of the Principal stands absolute.
