Fergusson College Pune Hostel Fees 2026 — Costs, Allotment & What to Expect

Fergusson College is one of the oldest and most academically regarded institutions in Pune, and its hostel is correspondingly in demand. Because it is a government-aided college, hostel charges sit in the aided-college band rather than the private-campus band — substantially cheaper than a private university hostel, and typically cheaper than renting privately in the surrounding Deccan and Shivajinagar area. Hostel costs at aided colleges in Pune generally break into three components: an accommodation charge, a separate mess charge, and a refundable deposit paid once at admission. Accommodation typically runs ₹20,000 to ₹50,000 a year depending on room sharing, with mess adding ₹25,000 to ₹45,000 depending on whether it operates on a fixed or per-day basis. Rooms are usually shared, with single occupancy rare and priced higher where it exists. Exact figures are revised annually and differ between the boys' and girls' hostels and between room types, so treat any published number as indicative and confirm the current year's structure with the college hostel office directly. Allotment is the other thing to plan for: seats are limited relative to applicants, and priority commonly goes to students from outside Pune district, with distance from home and merit both typically factored in. Apply at admission rather than after, because late applications rarely succeed.
