With the end of the East India Company's regime in India and the failure of the first armed rebellion in 1857, for India to freedom, has called a new era in our country. It is clear that the emancipation of our country and the transformation of the lives of our people should be peaceful and constitutional. Indian renaissance began and has been the role of education for national aspirations.

It was followed by the courage to start the first private university in India, 2 January 1885, to appoint as Fergusson College. The name was given in recognition of the support of Sir James Fergusson, Governor of the Province of Bombay and also the first patron of the DES. Senior William Wordsworth, the grand-son of the famous poet, was the master of ceremonies at the opening conference of the College. Thus, the Fergusson College has bridged the gap between the great city of London and Pune, a city of the Peshwa and on that occasion, Sir Fergusson, as the blessing of God on this new society.
The college has received affiliation from the University of Bombay and started her later in March in higher education with the opening of arts classes, then in 1892, with the science courses. The College held its class, nearly ten years in the Old Gadras Wada and other places in Pune.
