Ferguson College, Pune...
Placements: The number of students in each is around 90 students. For B.Sc. courses, the college doesn't offer any placements. For Masters, it does. Top companies like Cipla, Sula Wine, and many more come to our college. The college doesn't provide internships, but if you want, they will guide you.
Infrastructure: The classrooms and labs are well-equipped. You will get the proper Life Science library downstairs in the department. The hostel intake is based on your academic and merit list. You can have every facility. The hostel is affordable. The food in the mess is also okay.
Faculty: The teaching staff is well-qualified in the microbiology department. The teaching method is also very good. The course curriculum is also very good; they cover every topic in microbiology. Semester exams are a bit difficult, especially the practical exams, so you have to be well-prepared.
Other: I chose this course because I have an interest in microbiology. The best part is that it helps to know the things which are not visible to our eyes. There is nothing to improve. The college fest is one of the best college fests in Pune. There are many chances for extracurricular activities here.

Satisfied and happy as we have really helpful and qualified faculty and great campus placements.
Placements: Placements are mostly provided to M.Sc. students and almost 95% of students are placed every year. The highest package for my course, microbiology, goes up to INR 5 LPA, the average package is around INR 3 LPA and the lowest is around INR 1 LPA. Some of the top recruiting companies are Cadbury, Britannia, and Cipla. Around 70% of students applied for internships, of which 40% got internships at institutes like Iiser Pune and companies like Cipla and Cyrus Poonawalla. After a bachelor's in microbiology, we can work as food inspectors, qualitative analysts, and microbiologists.
Infrastructure: The classrooms are huge and well ventilated. But we are not provided with Wi-Fi in college. We have a common library (Wadia Library) for the whole college, which is open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and also a library in our microbiology department. We can study in both libraries. The hostel rooms are not so spacious but are safe. Mess food is nutritious and healthy. There are three canteens in the college area. Students are provided with proper medical facilities if required. Gymkhana has huge playgrounds for both boys and girls. All the sports equipment is also provided and inter-college competitions are also conducted by the college.
Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and helpful and guide us further with all the things until placements. The curriculum of microbiology is relevant and interesting but other subjects like botany and zoology are irrelevant. The semester exams are pretty tough and we need to work really hard to pass them. The passing percentage is around 58%.
Other: Fergusson's fests are literally the best in Pune. We enjoy everything for around 7-8 days.

Good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: Placements are not offered for B.Sc microbiology graduates as it is not possible to get a good job after graduation. PG is necessary. Extra credit system is there in the college which ensures students get enrolled in other activities as well, other than course studies, such as internships.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is pretty awesome. Labs are spacious and new and they contain all the equipments with quality and quality. Library is one of the biggest in Fergusson College and it also has specific departmental libraries The college has a good canteen. Classrooms are very spacious.
Faculty: Some Faculty members are exceptionally awesome. Their teaching ability is superb but some are not good. But the overall experience is good and a bit hectic. One can choose this college if he/she wants a proper college life. Curriculum is also good and revised. Course curriculum is one of the best.
Other: The college campus is superb. One of the best in Pune. Campus crowd is also good and students come here from all over the world. FC's Microbiology is one of the good courses. Campus life is the best and it is a great college.

It has a beautiful infrastructure and great college experience.
Placements: Placements in this college were fair. But as far as placements in the microbiology field there were hardly any companies offering that. Students were offered placements in some very good companies such as Deloitte and Cognizant, and the selection process was hard containing various steps such as the GD interview exam, etc.
Infrastructure: The laboratories contain good working instruments such as incubator, LAF, shaker incubator, centrifuge, microscope, etc., The hostel facility was excellent. There were sufficient placements in hostels and provide a good mess.
Faculty: The course was very good. The syllabus structure was elaborate and had all the necessary skill sets. The faculty members in FC were excellent. All the teachers were highly experienced in academics and research. They were approachable and friendly. The course curriculum was relevant for developing the skills required for microbiology. The exams were of moderate level yet some questions were concept-based, and students need to pay attention in class to be able to answer them.
Other: There was a beautiful cultural and annual fest held every year. It was the most fun part of FCs tradition, it involves fun games, dance, music, dramas, street acts, etc.

It has a great campus life, amazing infrastructure, and decent faculty members.
Placements: Placement opportunities are not very good in this particular course. Not many companies come for placements for this field, and the ones that visit do not select students from the Bachelor's degree. There is no proper communication with the placement cell. There is not much talk about how to form our careers ahead.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. Labs have all the necessary equipment to conduct all basic practicals. The building is well-maintained and properly cleaned. The hostel is very good. There is a canteen and mess near the hostel only, which serves good and hygienic food.
Faculty: Faculty members in our course are very good. They have a good understanding of the subjects and teach very well. Sometimes they do tend to complicate the course, but that eventually helps the students in the long run. The course curriculum is very good, and it prioritises practical and theoretical knowledge equally. Exams are conducted on a regular basis to judge your skills in the field.
Other: I am from the B.Sc. in Microbiology course. The overall experience of the course has been exciting. Like every course, even this has its own pros and cons. The best things are the excellent campus life and the atmosphere throughout the year, with fests and other things happening. The course in itself is pretty good. The bad things are the placement opportunities and the general lack of guidance about what to do in the career going forward. If a career counseling cell can be set up in the department, then it would be very helpful for the students.
