Fergusson College Pune determines UG cutoffs based on Class 12 merit percentages from recognised boards, which are released in multiple lists on its portal, with high competition driving top scores. PG admissions use college-specific entrance exams (minimum 45-50% in qualifying degree plus test performance), while FYJC follows Maharashtra's centralized system.
UG (BA, BSc, BVoc) requires 10+2 with 50% aggregate (relaxed for reserved categories), Maharashtra domicile preferred for quotas; no entrance for most UG. PG (MA, MSc) requires a relevant bachelor's degree (45-50%) and an entrance score; categories include Open, SC/ST/OBC/EWS, with reservations per state norms. Cutoffs factor in seats, applicants, prior trends, and board variations (e.g., CBSE/ICSE slightly adjusted).
Cutoffs drop across rounds (1st: 94-97%, later: 85-92%); science/psychology highest due to demand. The 2024 general category (grant-in-aid, English medium) saw a peak at 97.5% for English BA.

Category-Wise and Exam-Wise Trends
Open/General cutoffs lead by 5-12% over OBC, 10-15% over SC, 15-20% over ST; EWS similar to OBC. Arts Marathi medium lower (84.8% FYJC). No national exams like CUET/JEE; pure merit for UG. Trends stable: slight dips post-SSC inflation (e.g., 1.7% drop expected in 2025). Self-financed seats are 2-5% lower; 3-4 merit lists, spot rounds if vacancies. High demand for Economics/Psychology/Biotech keeps cutoffs elevated.
