PICT-Shaping your future

The most negative thing about our college is it is bounded by the SPPU norms and thus it cannot do what is beneficial to students knowing that would help them. The most positive thing about our college is it is very strict and disciplined and it creates a positive environment among the students and help them build a great career.

This college is bound to SPPU ( Savitribai Phule Pune University ), so the course curriculum and exam structure is completely decided by the university norms. The course curriculum is more theory based and there is less scope for students to learn things practically relying on the course. The college does it's best to provide good coaching, conducting SIG's interactive workshops. Also, the exam structure consists of 8 SEMESTER pattern in which every semester consists of In-Sem exam for 30% of the total semester score and End-Sem exam for rest 70% of the total score.

Campus placements starts as soon as final year is started. This college placements are really good. Current scenario of placements is as follows: Around 650 students have appeared for placements this year and 520+ are placed and still getting placed. The average package is around 6.5 - 7 LPA. And students having 5+ LPA package are roughly 350-400. College have recently started conducting drives for internships for third year as well as final year students.

There are 2 technical and 1 non-technical events in our college. The technical events are 1) Credenz - Organised by PICT IEEE Students Branch. It consists of various coding as well as quiz competitions, conferences, etc. 2) Pulzion - Organised by PICT ACM Students Chapter. It consists of various coding as well as quiz competitions, conferences, etc. While the cultural event is Addiction, it is a 3 day event where students perform dances, sings song, there's a DJ organised.

The fees for general category is around 1LPA. And considering other colleges it is feasible. While other category students like OBC, SC, ST, NT are exempted by this fees. And they have other fees structure. EBC students are also having different fee structure.

College provides the topper of third year, complete final year fees as scholarship. A friend of my received one lakh rupees scholarship from college on being the topper from the Savitribai Phule Pune University.

While the cultural event is Addiction, it is a 3 day event where students perform dances, sings song, there's a DJ organised. The days include Group Day, Traditional Day, and final event is in a cultural hall where main dance performances are organized.

The Alumni's are mostly very busy and abroad, so they have very less chance of being present physically in the campus for guidance. But when it comes to helping the students over any social community or direct personal contact. They are very helpful and provide a valuable guidance and opportunities.

For getting admission into this college, one require to appear for an entrance exam held in India named JEE-Mains. Through JEE-Mains score one can apply to state colleges in Maharashtra, India. I scored a 96.4 percentile during 2015 examination. And the admission process is based on merit. Round 1 cutoff was - 98.23 percentile, Round 2 cutoff was 97.56 percentile and Round 3 was around 96. So, I got admission in Round 3 ( All above was for Computer Engineering branch )

The faculty here are really well educated and coach students really well. They are also active in helping out students for other opportunities and learning. But they are bound by the university norms which restrict them over time and teaching syllabus.
