how much does the waitlist for FORE move for their PGDM programme?

Hi,
I have converted the Fore School of Management and it is asking for the submission of the Semester fee, so if i pay the full amount now and decide to take back the candidature due to any reason after some time so the whole amount will be refunded right?

I can already write basic Python and SQL. Is FORE’s PGDM (BDA) coding-heavy, or is it business analytics with tools? Want to make sure I’m not paying to relearn things I use at work.
