No, Fergusson College does not provide provisional admission to BSc aspirants. Only the applicants who fulfil the course-specific eligibility criteria at admission are allocated seats for various BSc specialisations. The college starts the admission process after the Class 12 results of Maharashtra State Boards have been declared. It is mandatory to upload a soft copy of the Class 12 result while filling out the application form. Admission is granted based on the applicants' Class 12 merit. Hence, candidates currently awaiting their Class 12 results can not apply for BSc admission at Fergusson College.
