Details of the Closure

The closures took place after admissions for the academic year were completed and full fees had been collected from students ¹⁴⁹. Many parents reported paying substantial amounts, with one parent stating they paid ₹2.2 lakh (approximately $2,600 USD) but their child received coaching for only three months ³.
