The aided BA and BCom courses are among the lower-fee options in Pune. The fee gap is wide because SP College offers both aided courses and unaided premium courses.

SP College Admission Process

SP College uses two admission routes. Aided programmes follow the SPPU centralised online merit process, while self-financed premium programmes are handled at the college level. There is no one entrance exam for all courses.

UG Admission (BA, BCom, BSc)

For standard BA, BCom, and BSc courses, students apply through the SPPU online merit list system. Applicants must have passed 10+2 from a recognised board with at least 45% marks. BCom and BSc also need the correct subject stream. After the merit list is published on the SPPU portal, selected students confirm admission by paying the fee within the given time.

Subjects with fewer seats, such as BSc Computer Science and BA Psychology, usually need higher marks. Students who want these subjects should apply in the first round.

Premium UG Programmes (BA Civil Services, BBA, BSc Biotechnology, BSc Computer Science)

SP College conducts its own process for premium and self-financed UG courses. Students need Class 12 marks of at least 45-50%. BA Civil Services and BBA also include personal interviews. Final selection is based on Class 12 merit and interview performance. These courses follow the self-financed fee structure.

PG Admission (MA, MCom, MSc)

PG admissions are done through the SPPU centralised PG admission portal. Students applying for MA, MCom, and MSc submit their graduation mark sheets through the portal. Selection is merit-based. Some MSc subjects, including Chemistry, Physics, and Biotechnology, may also have a written test or interview. The minimum requirement is graduation in the relevant subject with 45-50% marks.

SP College Cutoffs

SP College cutoffs are linked to Class 12 marks and the SPPU central merit list. Courses with stronger demand and fewer seats usually close at higher marks.

SP College Placements

SP College placements cover students from Arts, Science, and Commerce. Since the college has large aided batches, fewer students take part in campus placements than in smaller private autonomous colleges. The placement cell mainly works on technology, BFSI, and management roles for BBA, BCom, BSc Computer Science, and BSc Biotechnology students.

According to NIRF 2025 data, 224 UG students and 242 PG students were placed. The median package was INR 2.6 LPA for UG students and INR 3 LPA for PG students. KPMG, TCS, and ICICI Prudential are among the key recruiters.
