Fergusson college - Pune's biggest heritage.
Placements: My course is a B.A. in history at FC College. Approximately 60 percent of the students were placed in my course. They were selected based on their marks in the previous course. Exactly, I don't know about the percentage. It may be that 20 percent of students got internships from my college and in Gokhale and Bhandarkar Institute, they were selected.
Infrastructure: There are lots of facilities available, like the use of computer technology, PPT presentations, etc. The quality of food at the mess is good but not too good; its average. Other extra sports and activities take place, and sports are also represented on various levels.
Faculty: The teachers have always been helpful to all students. And knowledgeable, too. Teaching quality is also excellent, as are those who have completed their PhDs in their respective subjects. Yes, this course is also more relevant to it. Semester exams are not too hard, as they provide question banks before the exam.
Other: I am preparing for UPSC; that's why I chose this course and history is also my optional subject. The best thing about this course is that we find it more interesting than any other subject and easy to understand. Fests, events and all other things take place every year.

Absolutely amazed with the experience, college life, faculty, and the people I met there.

The average package is up to 5 LPA-6 LPA. The lowest package is 2.5 LPA-3 LPA. Many big recruiting companies are associated with this course, such as Boston Consulting Group, Young Global, KPMG, etc. Approximately 75%-80% of students got internships. Some fortunate students got opportunities at organizations like the Indian Museum and ABP Group. The top roles students get in this course are a Bachelor of History.
Infrastructure: Personally, I like the infrastructure of the college, which has a late 19th-century vibe and is suitable for various courses. The classrooms are good. The library is well-equipped for students and staff. The college mess/canteen is average. Being in the heart of Pune, there are many cafes nearby.
Faculty: The teachers are cooperative and helpful. Their quality of teaching is good. They help students focus more on their studies. The B.A. course is for 4 years with 2 semesters per year. The difficulty level is medium. Students generally manage to pass. The pass percentage is 85%. Being attentive to the course can lead to higher scores.
Other: I chose this course because of my passion for history. The college provides comprehensive notes and materials. It allows students to delve deeply into the subject. The college hosts various events. They give students opportunities to present themselves and engage with new experiences regularly.
