SMT. RAVI SUSHA  : PRESIDENT

   Complainant  filed this complaint U/S 35 of  Consumer Protection  Act 2019, seeking to get an order  directing  opposite parties to refund Rs.5,16,000/- towards the fee paid by the complainant Mangalayatan University through AIMLAY CRM for the PhD admission together with compensation.

   The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Maharshi Dayanad University vs. Surjeet Kaur, 2010(5) Supreme 665, held that “A university is not a service provider and a student taking an examination is not a consumer.”

   Considering the above said view taken by  Hon’ble Apex Court, the present complaint related to education, is not maintainable under Consumer Protection Act. So it is dismissed.
