NIEPID asks for a lower score but costs more. If your score clears SPPU, keep this page first; if not, keep NIEPID as a wider option.
In short
AYJNISHD Mumbai is closer to hearing disability services, while SPPU is focused on the low fee and Pune network. If deafblind education is fixed, check both syllabi before you pay.
In short
NIEPVD has more seats but asks a higher score and fee. If you want visual disability services, check it; if you want SPPU's centre, stay with this page.
In short

FAQs on SPPU Diploma in Education Special Education (Deafblindness)

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is this course worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you want to work in disability education. The full course fee is INR 2,000 and the usual entry pay used here is INR 2 LPA, so the fee is small. Check the field practice and centre notice before you pay, because the course is not a corporate placement route.
Should I take this course if my graduation score is near 60%?▾
Yes, but keep papers ready. The General planning range starts near 60%, and the list can move when selected students leave. Fill the form, upload clean marksheets and watch the waiting list. If your score is below the range, ask the centre about the next admission cycle.
What job can I get after this diploma?▾
You can look for special educator and classroom support roles. The pay figure used on this page is INR 2 LPA for entry roles. Most work is with special schools, inclusive education projects and support centres. If you want a corporate job, this course is not the right route.
Who should pick this course at SPPU?▾
Pick it if you want to teach children with deafblindness and can spend one year in field practice. SPPU has a low fee of INR 2,000 and a small planning intake of 24. Visit a special school first so you know the work before you join.
Who should skip this course?▾
Skip it if you need a campus placement list or a high salary straight away. SPPU does not publish a course placement report for this diploma. You should also skip it if you cannot work with families, schools and support staff every week.
Is SPPU better if I want to stay in Pune?▾
Yes, if Pune is your working city. The course is at SPPU and Pune has special schools and inclusive education projects. The fee is also low. Check travel time to the centre and field practice locations before you decide, because the work is hands-on.
Is this course good for higher studies?▾
Yes, if you want to move into special education or inclusive education later. The course gives one year of focused deafblind education and field practice. Keep your assignments and practice records safe, because those help when you apply for B.Ed Special Education or related training.
Should I wait a year for a better option?▾
Wait only if you need a different specialisation. The course fee is INR 2,000, so waiting does not save much money. If deafblind education is your goal, apply now and keep one backup course ready. If you want speech or visual disability work, compare those courses first.
Will I get placed after this course?▾
There is no published campus placement report for this diploma. The page uses INR 2 LPA as an entry pay figure and 80% field practice completion as the training outcome. Use the course to build school contacts during practice, then apply to special schools and inclusion projects.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
The published course fee is only INR 2,000, so most students pay it at admission. If you need more time, ask the Admission Cell before the fee date. Do not wait past the last date, because the seat can move to the waiting list.
Do scholarships help for such a low fee?▾
Yes, but the waiver is small because the fee is low. The calculator above caps the main waiver at INR 2,000, which can cover the course fee. You still need income and category papers where the scheme asks for them.
Is hostel sure for this course?▾
No. SPPU does not promise hostel for this diploma on the course page. The fee block adds INR 60,000 as a room and food estimate for ten months. Before you join, check hostel availability and nearby room costs with the centre.

Which is better for doing an MBA, Christ University, Bangalore, or Pune University (PUMBA)?

Aditi BanerjeeLives in Bangalore

Christ Deemed-to-be University offers PG MBA programs and MBA integrated courses in collaboration with overseas universities. The highest offer was INR 21.46 LPA in the 2022 placement report.

Christ University's International Student Exchange program gives students global exposure. It offers this option for students to learn from peers abroad.

Pune University Department of Management Sciences offers a two-year MBA in Marketing, Finance, Systems, HR, and Operations. This department's flagship six-trimester program enrolls 180 students. The highest offer was INR 18 LPA in the 2022 placement report.

The top reasons to choose PUMBA are

  • ROI: MBA returns in India are decent. PUMBA is excellent. Its two-year tuition is Rs. 135,000. Last year's PUMBA average salary was Rs 5.5 lakh. The top 50% of packages exceed 6.5 lakhs. In Mumbai and Delhi, where staying and touring for two years exceeds tuition fees, other universities offer this ROI.
  • An Underdog: 6 of 9 students thought the college would contribute nothing to my experience and qualifications. But now I know my maximum value will be here. My friends who joined before and after us are the same. 
  • Faculty support: PUMBA grads have earned finance certifications while attending the classes. B-school's busy timetable makes such time luxury challenging. PUMBA promote such certificates and allows you to study for them during lectures. One faculty member explained additional certificates in different domains during induction. 
  • City institute name: Pune's schools and institutions are prominent in India. Its management school reputation is low. However, the city has several company offices. PUMBA is practically every company's first choice for Pune-based management recruitment.

Which math M1 M2 or M3 is hard in the engineering course in Pune University?

Riya BanerjeeB.E Computer Science & Computer Programming,Savitribai Phule Pune University (2016)

Ony of my sisters is a part of Pune University and as per what she mentions, it is best that you practice the fundamental mathematical problems. Additionally, the best advice is not to get drained anytime at all while studying the subject.

Now, when shifting focus to your question, 

  • M1 incorporates basic algebra and is deemed pretty simpler than usual. 
  • On the other hand, M2 might still be difficult, yet it can however be aced if you practice the basics of integration and derivation.
  • In the case of M3, the course entirely depends upon the fundamentals you have earlier prepared for M2. 
  • After a brief elaboration, it is best that you rather choose preparing for M2, because it can contribute to making the subject quite easier. 

The study standpoint is curated as per the syllabus, and is best if you follow the pattern in accordance with it.
