Top recruiting companies are Blue Pineapple, SpringCT, Josh, Deloitte, etc. The top roles offered are software developer, full stack developer, frontend developer, etc.

Infrastructure: Facilities are excellent. Classrooms are well-equipped with digital boards and CCTV cameras. We have Wi-Fi. I don't know much about the hostel but it is really great. Each student has a separate room and the quality of food is good. The canteen has many options to choose from and the food is delicious. We have a very big ground where tournaments happen.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, and most likely, they have spent so many years teaching in the college. The course curriculum is really perfect for providing students with industry and practical knowledge. Focus is on projects and presentations so that students are very well acknowledged by practical knowledge. Semester exams are somewhat difficult and they are not much difficult and mostly based on the content which is taught in the classroom. Almost 95% of students pass exams.

2Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Fergusson College B.Sc. microbiology review.

Placements: Placements are comparatively less after the bachelor's and master's degrees. After M.Sc, the average salary package will be around 3 to 4 LPA. Top recruiters are Praj Industries, Serum Institute of Technology, Cipla Pharmaceuticals, etc. Top roles offered are quality control, quality analyst, medical writer, etc.

Infrastructure: We have well-established labs in the microbiology course. Classrooms are clean and spacious. A departmental library is available for students to issue any books. The hostel facilities are not good. Unnecessary rules and regulations are there like you cannot take food from the hostel, no Wi-Fi is available, and water problems. The quality of hostel food is the worst.

Faculty: Teachers here are very helpful and supportive. The quality of teaching is pretty good. The microbiology course is made in such a way that students can go into research and development and industrial jobs. The semester exams are not very difficult. They are between an easy to moderate level. There is a 50 mark paper. The passing mark is 20.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to do my higher studies in the life sciences stream. This college is the best in Maharashtra to study life sciences, so I chose this college. The department should more focus on research activities for students. They should give a chance to get more hands-on experience to students. The campus life is very engaging. There are many activities going on always so you can get a chance to improve your social skills.

3Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

The best college for bachelor's in psychology in Maharashtra.

Placements: There is an independent placement cell for psychology students at Fergusson college. There are internships offered from NITI Ayog to any small clinic. Faculty members look into the circulation of updates. When it comes to packages, the internships are mostly unpaid for psychology students. From our previous batch, 5 to 6 students got placed. The reason for the lower number is the lack of student awareness that department has an independent cell. The top roles offered are either to shadow a very prestigious clinician or a 2-year job offer.

Infrastructure: We have a separate department area for psychology and an independent lab for practicals. Classrooms are spacious. We've complete access to the manuals. Along with the department's independent library, we also have access to the main college library. Hostel experiences vary among girls and boys. Canteens are very well-maintained and clean food. Exposure to sports and games is excellent.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and very soft-spoken. They provided personal attention if any doubt. They are also easily accessible to provide academic guidance. Course curriculum is very interesting and the industry readiness club run by the department gives many courses. Semester exams are easy if you attend college and have your concepts clear. The cut-off is always high around 95.4 to get in FY making it very competitive even in the semester exams. Pass percentage for semester exams is 40.
