MIT - The Place For Opportunities

The college management is very supportive of all the students and just a call away whenever you need them.

IIT JEE - 85 marks 12th standard - 83% Maeer's Institute of Technology (MIT) is one of the best colleges for engineering in Pune and also at a very short distance from my residence. These were the main reasons for me enrolling in this college.

The curriculum is as described by the Directorate of Technical Education. Equal importance is given to both theory as well as practical knowledge. Projects are compulsory for most of the subjects for better understanding. The 4th year projects are group projects where in we have to make an actual product or software and present it in front of the whole class. The latest introduction to the curriculum is an internship at a company of your choice for at least 40 hours to show. This is introduced for students to get an hands on experience for the job and better understanding of the outside market and world.

Our college does not provide internship. The 40 hours work experience that is required for 4th year project is to be searched by the students on their own merits

MIT is one of the top and leading colleges in Pune when it comes to placement. Some of the top companies such as Accenture, Cognizant, Persistent, HP, L&T, Infosys, Tech Mahindra have visited us in the recent years. The college placement ratio is around 70%. Being all clear in all subjects of all semesters is compulsory for participating in college placements. People with distinction are given highest priority for the placements.

MIT apart from its various courses that it offers is also widely known for its cultural and extra curricular activities. The Technathon event is held yearly for all the Tech lovers. The Bharatiya Chattra Sansad (BCS) is held every year on the college grounds. We have teams participating in all the sports in inter college tournaments.

The fee structure is a bit on the expensive side but thats given since MIT is one of the top colleges for engineering in Pune. The fees are around 1,75,000 per annum for general quota. This excludes the stationary and exam form fees. The fees for participating in events is also extra.

There are scholarships for students who come from a poor economic background where in 75% of the course is sponsored by the college. There are also fee waivers for students of SC/ST. Students also have the option of paying college fees in monthly EMIs.

The campus life is awesome. MIT has one of the most beautiful campus in India. Its lush green in the rainy season overlooking the mountains. There are as many girls as boys in MIT. There are strict punishments for any cases of bullying or sexual harrassment. The extra curricular activities include debates, singing/dancing competitions, robotics tournament, etc.

MIT does not have a hostel of it's own but there are quite a few private hostels around the college for students. There are also many residential buildings where the students can stay as paying guests. There are 2 mess in the college campus which cater both veg, non-veg as well as Jain food.

The senior students are extremely helpful and supportive of all the Juniors. They help you with any help that is needed for tge academic course or in general.

There is a proper balance between theory teaching and practical work in labs so as not to stress out the students in a day. The exam structure is 2 semesters every year. 1st semester is in October and 2nd semester is in April. There are 2 internal exams in college for every semester and surprise class tests almost every week.

The admission process was centralized. We had to fill an online form on the government website and later the cut-off marks for every college were released. I didn't get my desired college in the 1st round but managed to get it in the 2nd round. The cut-off for the 2nd round was 82.58% and 80 marks in 12th standard and IIT JEE respectively. After getting admission we visited the college to pay our enrollment fees and got the college brochure. There was a small interview with the HOD of computer engineering during which I was asked about my family background, my school and my junior college days and why I chose MIT. Within next 3 weeks we had to pay the fee for the entire 1st year.

All the professor's are extremely qualified in their respective subjects and take an active interest in all the students course. They are just a call away whenever needed and are extremely helpful in whichever way they can be. They have evolved with time and have now moved on to more interesting ways to teach academics. For example blackboards have been replaced with white boards for displaying PPTs using projectors.
