Do I have to pay ₹1000 for the second counselling session?
No, you do not have to pay Rs. 1,000 for a second counselling session with LeapScholar as a standard rule, since both initial and follow-up sessions are typically offered free of cost. If any fee does apply for a specific follow-up session, LeapScholar will inform you of it in advance.
No, paying Rs. 1,000 for a second counselling session is not a standard requirement, since LeapScholar's counselling, including follow-up meetings, is generally provided free of cost to students. If a fee were ever applicable for a specific service, you would be informed of it clearly before the session.
Counselling Sessions and Typical Costs
| Session Type | Typical Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Initial counselling session | Free | Standard first consultation |
| Second or follow-up session | Free | Not mandatory to pay Rs. 1,000 |
| Optional premium add-ons, if any | Varies | Only if you opt in and are informed in advance |
What to Do If You Are Asked to Pay
- Ask for written confirmation: request a clear breakdown of what any fee covers before making a payment.
- Check your specific package: some students may be on a different counselling plan than the standard free one, so confirm which applies to you.
- Report anything unclear: contact LeapScholar support directly if you are asked for a payment that was not disclosed upfront.
My Advice
If someone asks you for Rs. 1,000 before a second session, do not pay it without first getting written confirmation from LeapScholar's official support channel on why it is being charged. Genuine fees, if any, are always communicated upfront as part of your counselling package rather than added midway through the process.
