Your question is not clear as I am unable to figure out what you meant by the word “average”. Also, the stream for which you wish to get enrolled at Fergusson College, Pune should have been specified.

  • The cut-off score for the department of Biotechnology is usually more than that of Microbiology. 
  • If you have obtained a score of above 90% in your class 12th board examinations, then it would be pretty easy for you to secure a seat for admission at Fergusson College, Pune. 
  • The cut-off score categories other than General would be lesser. 
  • So, if you have obtained a score of more than 75% and you fall into the SC/ST categories, then you may have a good probability of being accepted in one of the courses at Fergusson College Pune. 
  • If you are unable to secure a seat for admission during the first round of your counseling, then for sure you would get admission in the later round. 

Do not lose hope and keep on trying till the final round so that you can get admission in the course of your choice at FC Pune. For more details, you can visit the official website of the college.

The hostel accommodation for girls at Fergusson College is decent. The hostel fees are nominal. It is closest to the college. Hostel rooms are fine, but not in great condition. Mess food isn’t too good. There are sometimes water problems. 

The hostel rules are strict. Students need to enter the hostel by 8 pm. On Sundays, the end time is 8:30 pm.

One of the primary distinctions between aided and unaided colleges is the availability of funds. A college that receives government aid is known as an aided college, whereas a college that does not receive any funds or aid from the government is known as an unaided college(Private institutes). While the government provides assistance to aided colleges, the government does not provide assistance to unaided colleges.

The government provides grants to aided colleges for a variety of purposes, including infrastructure development and academic activities.

The fee structure is another significant difference between aided and unaided colleges. Unaided colleges charge students high fees, whereas aided colleges only charge government-mandated fees.

Both colleges have the same admissions process, but private colleges have some seats reserved for management quota as well.

In Fergusson College there are 2 types of sections namely Granted and Non Granted. The fee of the institute depends upon which section you are allotted in.

There is a major difference of fees when it comes to these sections. Under the granted section a student only has to pay Rs. 5000 whereas a student from non granted section will have to give in Rs. 20,000. This is decided during the time of admission both the section and the fees according to it. 

Also taking the bifocal courses there will be an additional charge in the fee. Bifocal subjects include Electronics, Computer Science, IT, etc. An additional amount of Rs 20,000 has to be paid for it.
