What is your review of Fergusson College Pune?

My cousin joined one of the courses at Fergusson College after graduating High School. Based on his experiences, I will suggest not to join Fergusson College during your 11th and 12th grades. 

First and foremost, FC Junior College has prescribed the Maharashtra Board Syllabus for 11th and 12th grades which turned out to be the greatest regret of my cousin as he was unaware of this before joining FC Pune.

• If you are preparing for any of the entrance exams like JEE/NEET, CET and are willing to devote a significant amount of time to your preparations, then this college surely is not for you.
• The college holds regular lectures and practicals which students are expected to attend regularly, yet many of the NEET students in my cousin’s class skipped lectures and only attended practical sessions. 
• If you're from outside Pune, you might want to reconsider joining Fergusson College because you would have to deal with housing and food issues that don't appear to be a big deal to students. 
• After all, they're in high spirits before starting college. 
• College Hostel for Junior Students is a little on the pricey side. 
• The Food served at the Mess can be considered okay. 
• If none of the entrance examinations appeal to you, or if you prefer the arts stream, Fergusson College is the perfect spot for you.

Overall, you should not join Fergusson College if you don't want a demanding day full of lectures and practicals while also preparing for your admission examinations. Join if you want a Fergussonian tag or to show off that you're studying at a reputed institution. The geology department, in my opinion, is the best.
