PUNE: Students confirming their admissions for the first year junior college (FYJC, std XI) will get 15% concession in fees as per the recent announcement by the state government.
The fee cut has been announced in wake of the Covid pandemic and students who locked their admissions on the first merit list could avail the concession.
Joint deputy director, Meena Shendkar, said, “After the state government took the decision regarding the fee cut in colleges, it was applied for FYJC new admissions and the students who have confirmed that admissions based on the first round allotment took benefit.”
The fee cut has been applied for aided as well as unaided seats and also for online as well as offline admissions being conducted in the state. Facilities were being under-utilised in colleges and universities as a result of remote learning.
For the last year, colleges took full fees from students; however, after several applications to the state government by student unions and parents, the cut came into effect.
