What is the difference between Grant-aid and self-financed admission in Fergusson college in pune? Which option is to be selected?

One of my friends graduated from Fergusson College and here is her insight regarding grant-aid and self-finance admission.

• Grant aid- The course fee is less. The required cutoff for admission is high. The peer group is great. Classes are in the early morning. The faculties are also great.
• Non-grant- Course fee is more. The required cutoff is less than the Grant aid category. Classes take place in the afternoon. The Peer group and faculty base are good.

So, Govt. aids a specific number of students with higher scores by paying a part of their course fee. However, since the institute has more intake capacity there exists a non-grant category. For which course fee is a little higher. 

As for which will be best, you should decide that.
