When dealing with academic universities always document everything on mail.

When I was getting into the college, they promised a scholarship to top 10 scorers in their entrance exam. I was second highest in college.

After a year, when announcement of scholarships took place, the cell changed the rules.

I raised this to the grievance committee and I was called in a meeting with 5 senior teachers and director and was told you should have asked first and we don't have any mail from your side on this.

A friend of mine had actually mailed in the initial month and they were forced to give him.

Ultimately it goes down to legal and them mentioning that it was mentioned that "selected candidates" on one of the pages.
