    Fergusson College: 3 Answered Questions

    What is the difference between FYBA grantable and FYBA non grantable admission vacancies in the colleges of Pune University such as Fergusson College?

    Shivani SharmaStudying B. Com from Delhi University

    One of the primary distinctions between aided and unaided colleges is the availability of funds. A college that receives government aid is known as an aided college, whereas a college that does not receive any funds or aid from the government is known as an unaided college(Private institutes). While the government provides assistance to aided colleges, the government does not provide assistance to unaided colleges.

    The government provides grants to aided colleges for a variety of purposes, including infrastructure development and academic activities.

    The fee structure is another significant difference between aided and unaided colleges. Unaided colleges charge students high fees, whereas aided colleges only charge government-mandated fees.

    Both colleges have the same admissions process, but private colleges have some seats reserved for management quota as well.

    What is the difference between a grant non grant course at Fergusson College Pune Does it affect the future of a degree Are classes held differently and teaching staff different?

    Shruti DesaiStudied at Fergusson College,Pune (2020)

    I can tell you my friend’s experience as a non-grant BA student. The fee structure is usually high for Non-Grant. It is so because the faculty are paid from the students' fees and not from the government fund.

    The teachers are temporarily hired who often lack proper experience. You will also be not given a choice to select the subjects and will study 6 compulsory subjects. This is a huge setback as you have to study it even though you lack interest in any particular subject. 

    One of the positive things about the Non-grant course is that lectures are continuous and end at 10:50 AM. After that, you will be free for the rest of the day. On the other hand, students admitted to Grant courses have to stay in college longer. 

    Due to a small batch in non-grant courses, there are good chances of getting the preferred major in 2nd-year. It is so because the seats for grant and non-grant are equal.

    There is a more diverse crowd in non-grant courses and you will find students from all over the country.
