The certificate for all the UG and PG course from now will have the stamps of both SPPU and Modern College. Gajanan Ekbote, Chairman of Progressive Education Society informed that they will pay attention to the fee hike and it will be between 5 per cent to 10 per cent. This is because their students come from different backgrounds and a sudden fee hike will not be taken positively.
Apart from that, the syllabus for both undergraduate and part 1 of postgraduate courses will be changed from the upcoming session. As of now, there will be partial changes in the syllabus, however, in the next couple of years, new UG and PG courses will be introduced.
