Modern College Pune Merit List 2026 — Admission Rounds & Cut Off Percentages

Before looking for a Modern College merit list, establish which Modern College you mean. The Progressive Education Society runs several institutions carrying the Modern name across Pune — at Shivajinagar, Ganeshkhind, Pune-Vidyapeeth and elsewhere — and they publish separate merit lists with separate closing percentages. A list from one campus tells you nothing about another, and this is the most common reason candidates believe they have found their cut-off and then discover they have not. Once the campus is settled, the process is the standard SPPU-affiliated degree college pattern. Admission to undergraduate programmes runs on merit computed from Class 12 board marks in the relevant subjects, with no separate entrance test for most courses. The college publishes a first merit list per programme, selected candidates confirm within a short window, and unconfirmed seats release into a second and sometimes third list which close at lower percentages. Closing percentages differ by programme and by stream, move with state board result patterns each year, and are separate for open and reserved categories. They are outcomes of the applicant pool rather than announced thresholds, so a figure from a previous year indicates the band rather than the bar. The junior college — Class 11 — admission at these campuses runs through the state's centralised online admission process for Pune and is a different system again from degree admission.

⚡ Quick Answer

Several Modern College campuses operate across Pune under the Progressive Education Society, each publishing its own merit list — confirm the campus first. Degree admission runs on Class 12 board merit in rounds, with later lists closing lower. Class 11 admission is a separate centralised process.

Identify the Campus First

  • Several institutions under the Progressive Education Society carry the Modern name at different Pune locations.
  • Each publishes its own merit list, with its own closing percentages, on its own admission page.
  • Programme availability differs by campus — not every campus offers every stream or specialisation.
  • Fees and facilities differ by campus, so a figure quoted for one is not transferable.
  • Confirm the campus name and address on the admission notice before you use any number from it.

How the Merit Rounds Work

  1. 1.Apply within the college's admission window after Class 12 results are declared.
  2. 2.Merit is computed from board marks in the subjects relevant to the programme, not the aggregate alone.
  3. 3.The first merit list is published programme-wise; confirmation windows are short and strictly enforced.
  4. 4.Seats left unconfirmed release into a second and sometimes third list at lower closing percentages.
  5. 5.Document verification and fee payment complete admission — appearing on a list is not itself admission.

Candidates searching for a "merit list" often mean one of these two and find information about the other. The distinction is worth holding onto, because the portals, the timelines and the rules are entirely separate.

What Moves the Closing Percentage

  • State board result patterns, which shift every college's closing percentage in the same direction each year.
  • Programme popularity, which concentrates demand on a small number of subject combinations.
  • Sanctioned intake for the programme, which changes rarely.
  • How many first-list candidates confirm, which sets how far the second list falls.
  • Category, since open and reserved closings are published separately.

Where to Confirm

  • The specific Modern College campus's official admissions page, where its merit lists are published.
  • The Progressive Education Society site for the list of institutions and their locations.
  • The Maharashtra centralised Class 11 admission portal, if junior college admission is what you need.
