Who Is Eligible for the Refund Process?
According to the notice, candidates who had deposited a Security Deposit through online counselling for UGMAC-2024 or UGMAC-2025 and subsequently either:

were generally eligible for refund of the security deposit as per the applicable counselling rules.

The board has therefore issued the latest notice to facilitate the refund of the pending amounts.
