IIIT Sri City seniors —need honest advice on 1st sem fees + education loan reimbursement ( father missing, family in financial crisis)
I might get a seat at IIIT Sri City through Csab. My rank is decent (98.4%ile General male), but family situation is rough income right now due to personal emergency(father missing from 8 June). I might have to pay the first semester fees (~2.4-2.5L including hostel/mess) from a local informal loan, then hope for education loan reimbursement.
Questions for those who went through this:
Did you pay 1st sem from pocket and get full/near-full reimbursement from bank (SBI/Canara/etc.) later? How long did it actually take?
Any issues with reimbursement for off-campus or institute hostel fees?
Is the loan process smooth for IIIT Sri City students? Any specific bank branches or tips that worked?
4.Is it worth the stress for someone with very tight finances, or should I look at other options in later rounds/CSAB?
Just need ground reality before deciding in counselling. Any seniors who faced similar money issues - how did you manage?
Thanks in advance. Will be grateful for any DMs too
