Review of Fergusson College, Pune.

Placements: Cipla, Veritas, Lupin Limited, Grow Digis, Intellect Design Arena, ZS Associates, and Akansha Foundation are major recruitment companies that participate in the campus drives of Fergusson College. The average package offered ranges from 2.9 to 3.54 LPA.

Infrastructure: Mess is compact, but it is hygienic and in healthy conditions.

Faculty: Faculty members would have shown their continuous involvement in the academic region, such as conducting assessments, planning weekly schedules, etc. Courses and their topics are highly visualized in a creative way, which makes them easier and catchier to remember. Faculty members are top grade with their unique performances.

Other: The application would be available for all courses as it starts from the month of March or April, followed by the particular examinations. Bachelor's program strength would be higher than master's (strength ranges between 500-1200).

It is an amazing college with the best memories.

Placements: The maximum number of students who passed with an A category grade are placed in the course. The highest package offered is 10 LPA, and the lowest package offered is 4 LPA. Many companies like Zensar, Infosys, and TCS visit the college for placements in my course. 15 percent of students got internships from my course, and if they performed well, they got a full-time position. The top roles offered are software developer and data analyst.

Infrastructure: Classrooms and labs are top-notch with proper ventilation and sufficient fresh air. The mess and canteen are very clean, and a huge shoutout to the housekeeping staff for keeping this place clean. The canteen is not that great. But they have maintained hygiene. Hostel facilities are not that great. Medical facilities are also available. College always ranked high in sports and games on the inter-college level. Many students are represented at the state and city levels from Fergusson College.

Faculty: Teachers are well educated with a proper background for a particular subject. The course curriculum is related to industry knowledge, which makes students industry-ready. Exams are of a moderately difficult level. The pass percentage is very high due to a good teaching staff and helpful lab technicians.

I love this college so much. I can never get enough of its campus and so talented students.

Placements: There are 18 seats for FYBA French 2025. In the second list around 30 are shortlisted and after confirming all details and priority. The top 18 students are selected. The highest package is by our senior around 1.5l per month. She is selected as a teacher in France. Every year few companies approach for internships related to language translators. Students who are fluent enough are selected.

Infrastructure: Fergusson College has one of the best infrastructures in Pune with spectacular beauty and lush greenery. Its so peaceful here. We have a lot of facilities including events, campaigns, competitions and different startups coming up. We have 3 canteens with fresh and healthy dishes.

Faculty: All the professors are highly qualified and so friendly. They have vast experience and knowledge in different fields. The college follows NEP2.0, the latest course curriculum. It prepares students shine like stars. Semester exams are quite easy in the first year but after that the real challenge starts.

Other: I wanted to learn a new language and be proficient in it for my career. I get to know a lot about cultural differences. We just have our 1 week long fest. It started with 2 days of spandan in which students showcase their talent on stage. Then 2 days of department fest with the department really. Then traditional saree and tie day. It is so much fun and quite exciting.

College is famous for its main building, which is a historic monument. Overall, the college is good.

Placements: I got 80 percent in my HSC. The average package is 5 LPA. TCS and Wipro are the top recruiting companies on campus. Around 60 to 70 percent of students got internships in our college. Companies like TCS, Deloitte, and Capgemini offer paid internships in our college. Roles like software engineer, etc., are offered by the companies.

Infrastructure: Overall, the facilities and infrastructure in our college are very good. Faculty members are very well educated in our department as well as in other departments. The college hostel is very good. The outer part of the hostel is very old, but the inner part of the hostel has been renovated and well-equipped facilities are provided.

Faculty: Professors are very strict, but if you need any help regarding academics, they will definitely help. Semester exams are quite difficult. The course taught to us is industry-relevant. In our college, professors focus more on practical learning instead of only theory.

Other: This college was established in the year 1885, so it is very old. The previous year NIRF rank of the college is 58, and this year the rank is 67. That is why I took admission here.
