Questions to ask the college office

Is the fee breakup on letterhead matching the portal amount?
Can first-graduate / scholarship concession appear on the same receipt?
What is the last time today that accounts accepts UPI?
Who signs the joining report if a parent cannot travel?
Where is the medical / anti-ragging submission desk?

Sample scenario walkthrough

A parent faces two relatives pushing different private colleges. Right move: write fee ceilings and recognition checks first, open only official PDFs at the table, and decide after one calm college call — not after midnight WhatsApp pressure.

Student mental health and family calm

If the student cannot sleep for several nights, pause non-urgent college visits and talk to a counsellor or trusted teacher — decisions improve with rest.
