Refund & Cancellation Policy

Last updated: 20 October 2026

UniCoach is a platform where students book paid services (1:1 video calls, SOP / resume reviews and Priority DMs) with verified mentors. Payments are collected securely through Razorpay. This policy explains when you can cancel a booking and when you get your money back. Free counselling with the UniCoach team has no charge, so no refund applies.

1:1 video calls

You can cancel from your dashboard or by writing to us. If you cancel 24 hours or more before the session, you get a full refund.

If you cancel less than 24 hours before the session, or do not join, the session is treated as used and is not refunded, because the mentor kept that time for you. You may ask for one reschedule, which the mentor can accept.

If the mentor cancels or misses the session

If the mentor cancels, or does not join within 15 minutes of the start time, you get a full refund. You can choose a free reschedule instead. The mentor is not paid for that booking.

SOP / resume reviews

Once the mentor has started working on your document, the review cannot be cancelled. If the review is not delivered within the time shown on the mentor's page (usually 48 hours), you get a full refund.

If you are unhappy with the quality, write to us within 7 days. We will ask the mentor for one revision, and if the work clearly does not match what was offered, we will refund you.

Priority DMs

A Priority DM is complete once the mentor replies. If the mentor does not reply within 24 hours, you get a full refund.

Free services

Free counselling, free events, the university shortlister, scholarship tools and other free features have no charge, so nothing is refunded.

How refunds are paid

Approved refunds go back to the original payment method (UPI, card, net banking or wallet) through Razorpay. We start the refund within 2 working days of approval; your bank usually takes 5 to 7 working days to show it.

Payment gateway charges are not deducted from refunds that are due to a cancellation by the mentor or by UniCoach.

Request a refund

Write to support@unicoach.com with your booking details (name, email, mentor, date and payment ID). We reply within 2 working days.
