I heard from somebody who used to file 1040 NR, Never used 1040 NR EZ, because he used to itemized. That 1098 -T will show your total Tuition Expense for the tax year.
In your Itemized deduction, you can have your tuition, books and stationary, mandated expenses charged by school/university ( not Health Insurance ) which will be higher than your standard deduction, will end up getting more refund and in your case it may not be over than your withheld.  Please check with other person too.

So, I think the Indian tax preparer may be right.
