<p>AFAIK if you get admitted to one of the us colleges, you have to confirm by may 1.
Ntu/nus only admits Indian students after board results are declared.
Suppose in the probability I get selected to one of my safeties and not any matches or reaches then what would be the best course of action?</p>
<p>Take a gap year and wait for NUS/NTU results.</p>
<p>^ There is no assurance of getting in to NTU/NUS even with 95 + % in CBSE.</p>
<p>You can pay the deposit at your US safety, and later opt out to join NUS.</p>
<p>How much is the deposit? Is it the full fees for one semester? Will they refund the deposit?</p>
<p>They don’t refund the deposit
It is not full fees for a semester. It varies from college to college.</p>
<p>How much in average? 200$?</p>
<p>Usually its $400-$500…</p>
