Fergusson College in Pune, Maharashtra, offers merit-based admissions for most undergraduate programs and entrance-based selection for postgraduate courses. The 2026 admission cycle follows an online application process through the Deccan Education Society portal, with dates typically starting in April-May for UG and varying for PG programs.
Candidates apply online via the official portal at https://registration.deccansociety.org/Registration/Apply/FCP. For UG courses like BA and BSc, selection relies on Class 12 merit lists released in rounds, followed by document verification and fee payment at the college. PG admissions, such as MA and MSc, involve college-specific entrance exams after application, with merit lists prepared based on scores.
UG programs require passing Class 12 from a recognized board, with Science stream for BSc and any stream for BA/BVoc (minimum 45-50% aggregate often needed, varying by category). PG courses demand a relevant bachelor's degree with at least 50% marks, plus passing the college entrance test. Reserved categories receive relaxations as per the Maharashtra government norms.
Note: Dates for 2026 are tentative based on ongoing patterns and third-party updates, as the official 2026 schedule mirrors 2025 with shifts (e.g., UG forms from early May). Always verify on the official portal, where 2025 UG registrations started May 5 and extend to July-August for many courses.
