"An amount of Rs 190 may not be a big amount for the parents but if you calculate the total for the 6 lakh students registered for the exams, it is a huge money and would be close to Rs 11.40 crore," said B N Yogananda, Member, Karnataka Private Schools Parents' Association Co-ordination Committee.

He said that the Association had already contacted the director of the PU Board and discussed the issue.

"We have requested the officer to initiate a refund. It is the right of every student to get the refund as he/she is not appearing for examination."
