Congratulation and best wishes for a very successful career. Its very nice that you wish to start investing from your first salary, as this will help you accumulate wealth over long term. Further, when you invest you need to chalk out a clear path as to what is your time horizon, goals and risk taking capacity. Based on these inputs a portfolio can be created. While you have mentioned that you wish to invest Rs. 12K p.m, i request you to kindly inform of the other factors as stated above which will help me suggest schemes to you. Alternatively, do consider seeking personalized consultation from a professional so that you can maximize the output in terms of guidance in the entire investment journey.

You cannot compare FD, Post office deposits with Mutual Funds. In FD / PO, you get assured returns and the Rate of Interest is also known to you before you make the investment, whereas in Mutual Funds, the returns are not guaranteed and are market linked. In Debt funds as well, the returns that an investor generates is linked to interest rate movements etc. Therefore, consider what type of investment suits you and then invest.
