Fergusson College: 5 Answered Questions

How hard is to get admission in Fergusson College Pune for a non Maharashtra candidate with average CBSE board marks? (for FYBsc.)

Riddhi GoswamiB.Sc Microbiology, Fergusson College, Pune (2019)

Your question is not clear as I am unable to figure out what you meant by the word “average”. Also, the stream for which you wish to get enrolled at Fergusson College, Pune should have been specified.

  • The cut-off score for the department of Biotechnology is usually more than that of Microbiology. 
  • If you have obtained a score of above 90% in your class 12th board examinations, then it would be pretty easy for you to secure a seat for admission at Fergusson College, Pune. 
  • The cut-off score categories other than General would be lesser. 
  • So, if you have obtained a score of more than 75% and you fall into the SC/ST categories, then you may have a good probability of being accepted in one of the courses at Fergusson College Pune. 
  • If you are unable to secure a seat for admission during the first round of your counseling, then for sure you would get admission in the later round. 

Do not lose hope and keep on trying till the final round so that you can get admission in the course of your choice at FC Pune. For more details, you can visit the official website of the college.
