Fergusson College

I had only 60% in my 12th still I got admission in FC for B.Sc. FC is definitely a college in which you want to take admission at any cost or you will at least try your best to get here I was the same. But since I had only 60% how I got admission here I will share it with you. To get admission here you need to fill the online merit list first then based on your percentage they will display the merit list and you will see almost all toppers in the list in my case 1212 people applied and my name was on 730 no so obviously I was not going to shortlisted even after 3rd merit list as only 160 seats are there. So I took admission in MIT-Alandi a college in which you surely don't want to go for B.Sc. But if you will clear your FYB.Sc even with 58-60%, you will easily get admission in FC in the second year because nearly 30-40 people fail (year down) in the first year and that gives chance to people who didn't get admission here in FYB.Sc. Coming to your question you need to have 80% or above to get admission here in the first year. The calculation might get some up and down based on the cut-off list of that year. Means you might get admission on 65% also or you may not get admission even if you score 70%. But 80% or above will get you in. And last tip doesn't get panic after seeing the toppers in the list they go for engineering they just fill the form as a safer side so that if they will not get admission for engineering in good college alternatively they can do B.Sc. They even take admissions and afterwards cancel it if they got admission for engineering.

The entrance exam would majorly include questions from 4 main economics papers and general knowledge, given below:
1. Statistics: Probability, Averages and Dispersion
2. Microeconomics: Different productions and cost functions with emphasis on their minimization exercise and profit maximization problems, different forms of competition encompassing perfect competition, monopoly, basic theory of general equilibrium
3. Macroeconomics: Basic knowledge of average graduation level should be sufficient. Emphasis on growth models
4. Mathematical Economics: Series, sequences, functions and relations, sets, basic calculus such as integration and differentiation. Incorporate notions of implications, quantifiers etc. In Logic. General Knowledge:
Preliminary knowledge of national and international economy and regular surfing of newspapers will be enough. I can also suggest you:-
Identify the weightage of each sections and sub-sections and allocate the time keeping your strengths in mind. Invest sufficient time in improving, strengthening your vocabulary and reading skills from the beginning. Having good command in Vocabulary and Grammar will help you score more marks in less time.
Hope this helps.
