Fergusson College : A Glimpse.
Placements: There are very few placements for the B.A. in Economics course. There is no internship or placement provided for a B.A. in Economics. And I have also thought of a placement or an internship after completing the B.A. in Economics course. Instead of placements, I am doing a master's in economics.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is from ancient times. You will be able to see ancient buildings still present on the campus. There are no changes in the infrastructure of the ancient buildings. The hostel is also good and the food available in the mess is tasty.
Faculty: The faculty of the college is knowledgeable, but there are mostly new faculty and there is a need for experienced faculty who can share their experience with the students and students can learn from those experiences. The course curriculum is relevant to the course that the college has selected.

Review of Fergusson College.
Placements: Our college has a good chance of placements. It also has a competitive coaching centre which was opened recently in the campus itself in preparing students for competitive exams like U.P.S.C and M.P.S.C being a renowned and reputed college for years. Placements are not a big deal.
Infrastructure: Fergusson is known for its the oldest infrastructure in India. It has the best campus spread in 70 acres in the middle of the city. College provides hostel admission on the basis of merit. Hostel infrastructure is a bit average but the college is best for B.A.
Faculty: Faculty members are well experienced and at their best. They are the assets of Fergusson college. The course curriculum is relevant and is knowledgeable. From basic to advanced knowledge everything is covered. Semester exams are conducted on a high level of questions and the pass percentage is maximum 33%.
Other: Being a humanities student and social science freak from class 11th, I always wanted to pursue B.A. from Fergusson College because of the quality and regularity of faculty here. Co-curricular activities, NSS, NCC, fests area all zest Of the College. It has good connectivity to every nook and corner of the city by autos and local bus transport. Saathi, an organisation that works for differently able students is also a major part of the college. It offers French, German, Hindi Marathi, and Sanskrit as your second language.

    The cutoff for B.A in Eco is very high since it has very less and limited seats. You need atleast 93% and above to get a seat for BA in Economics at Fergusson college, Pune

    Minimum percentage required to get admission in any BA course in Fergusson is 80%, because that's the maximum downfall I have seen in the past few years in the cut-offs. I would suggest you go to any other college than this.
