Entrance Exams & Admissions : Admissions at Fergusson College were based on merit. There was no entrance exam. The scores from the 12th boards were taken into consideration. The cutoff was about 90% for all the students wanting to take admissions. I have filled out the entrance form. I was a science student till the 12th grade so it was hard to score 90% in my boards. I did not get under the merit list. So, my admission was done with the help of management quota.

Placements & Internships : I am currently in my third year. There are seminars and sessions conducted by the college to guide us with our future. Many internships have been provided by the college. But since it's just a BA degree, the scope for jobs and salary figures is comparatively low. I am going to pursue my Masters in English Literature, that will help me grow as a writer and eventually help me find a decent job.
