Sir, I am not brave enough to pay my college fees. According to your estimate, which college can I get? I want to do BCS and MCS. Please help me a little and give me some guidance.

Thank you for sharing your feelings. It’s okay to feel worried about college fees. Many students go through this, and there are ways to manage it. I’m here to help you.

BCS means Bachelor of Computer Science, and MCS means Master of Computer Science. You want to do both, which is great for building a good career in the IT field.

If paying high college fees is difficult for you, don’t worry. You can look for government colleges or aided colleges. These colleges charge very low fees compared to private ones. Also, many colleges offer installment options or fee waivers for students who have financial problems.

Some good and affordable colleges for BCS are Fergusson College in Pune, SP College in Pune, Garware College in Pune, Elphinstone College in Mumbai, and colleges under Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University in Aurangabad. You can also look into Yashwantrao Chavan Open University, which has very low fees and distance learning options.

Later, for MCS, you can continue in the same university or apply to places like Pune University if your marks are good.

You should also apply for scholarships like the Post Matric Scholarship (for OBC, SC, ST), EBC scholarship (for economically weaker students), and state government schemes. These can cover most or even all of your fees.

Now, your next step is to choose a nearby government or aided college and visit their office. Ask if they provide fee installment options or any help for low-income students. Also, start applying for scholarships as soon as you take admission.
