The batch size of 2018-20 batch is 180. The wait-list glitch is a cache issue. Try a new browser. If issue still persists, forward your letter that you received last night to admissions stating that wait-list number is not visible on portal even from a different computer/ browser.
To clarify the queries on the fees, the incoming students are charged Study Abroad Program(SAP) fee during the first term but it is subsequently adjusted in the terms following the SAP. It is not mandatory to opt for SAP, and if you do not opt for it the fees will be automatically adjusted in the fees of subsequent term. It has been done because:
1. Many students are unable to get loan for the same earlier and face difficulty in the time the program is initiated. So this'll help them get loan for the same
2. As it is voluntary, the students can opt out of it any time in the first term. It'll give them time to decide whether to join or not based on informed discussions.
3. If some student is facing a lot of problem and is unable to Garner the fee, the candidate will have to write a mail to the AO detailing the reason for the same.
4. In case the bank is taking time to process the loan, the candidates can produce an undertaking from the bank that it is currently under processing and will be disbursed by (date).
