in this situation as you described, you can file the consumer complaint in consumer forum under section 12 of consumer protection act,1986. before doing so my advice you to file an application under RTI Act to know the position of your that year's admissions, because if the concern college has kept vacant your seat than you are not eligible to refund your fee and if the college has filled your seat then you are eligible to get the fee , so file the application under RTI Act to know the position. You will have to file the consumer complaint in consumer forum witin 2 years from the cause of action. You will have to file the consumer complaint in the consumer forum in which the jurisdiction of the concern college comes, your home town will not be the jurisdiction to file consumer complaint.
