According to the new policy launched by the Savitribai Phule Pune University , the University will only pay 90 percent of the salary under the earn while learn scheme for students who belong to the economically backward category and 10 percent will be pay by the college. Earlier the University used to pay 100 percent of the stipend for the reserved category students and women and 75 percent for the rest of the students, this policy was being exploited. The college used to give maximum jobs to the reserved category students and girls so they do not have to pay the salary.
