Sinhgad College - Pros and Cons

Overall rating is 6 out of 10. The course curriculum are good but lack of practical's. I was so much motivated by engineers but after this, my experience is totally vague. The curriculum does not prepares for real world applications, you can only pass the exam by bookish words. The exams are followed by every 6 months, very difficult exams. Average students face a lot of difficulty in clearing exam.

Placement are quite good. 85% placement rate with average of 4.5 LPA. From 7th semester, students become eligible for campus placements. Cognizant, Jio, Nvidia, Amazon, Wipro, LTI and plenty of offers made but average 5LPA. Average 4-5Lpa and Highest 38LPA. 85% students get placed from total number of students. I regret pursuing engineering from this college.

Singhad College of Engineering is an average Engineering college with decent placement, students who are good at communication and sound with technical skills can easily achieve placement. For year, 2019-2023, the fee structure are as follows:- Rs.1,37,000 for first year, Rs.1,27,000 per year for rest 3 years. These fees are increasing gradually per year. No, the college didn't provide any internship opportunity. Our 3rd year internship was on our own and we just had to submit the documents to college as a proof we completed our internship.

Only two fest are held per year, huge rush among students. Books are not accessible at library, students need to buy it for their studies. Old equipment are available at practical labs. But they can only be operated by facilities. Sports events are also held at college but I was not a part of them as the competition is big. Students do run social groups but it also has a entry charge for joining them, so in my opinion it is also in vain.

When I had to choose between Sinhgad College of Engineering and Bharati Vidyapeeth (BVP) in Pune, I believed I was making the right decision by opting for Sinhgad. At the time, Sinhgad seemed like a practical choice. Its sprawling campus and decent facilities, like hostels, libraries, and labs, made it an appealing option. Additionally, its location was more convenient for me, which influenced my decision further. I also felt that the academic and placement opportunities at Sinhgad were comparable to those of BVP, based on what I had heard. I had applied to BVP as well and even got admission there. However, I ultimately decided to go with Sinhgad, thinking it would suit my needs better. Looking back now, I regret that decision. Bharati Vidyapeeth, as I later realized, has a better academic reputation and more consistent placement records. Its structured approach to placements, along with its collaborations with industries and a strong alumni network, could have opened up more career opportunities for me. Moreover, the cultural and academic environment at BVP is more vibrant and competitive, which I feel I missed out on. What went wrong was a lack of proper research and planning. At that point, I didn’t thoroughly evaluate the colleges based on critical aspects like faculty, industry connections, and campus recruitments. Instead, I got carried away by opinions from friends and family, who emphasized Sinhgad’s infrastructure and convenience over long-term benefits. I also underestimated the importance of choosing a college with better placement opportunities, assuming that both colleges were on the same level in this regard. Based on my CET scores, I was allotted a seat in Sinhgad. After completing the document verification and paying the fees, my admission was confirmed.

There are average of 1 faculty per 60 students. There are some faculties that are good by nature, they try to help students. Also there are some teachers who act totally absurd to students. They least cooperate with students, say whatever they want, act busy at the time of practical's to delay the things. There are totally 8 sem and 8 main paper exam in four years. The sem exams are quite cool as the paper are set by college and checked by college itself. However the main papers are quite difficult as these are set by Pune University and also checked by university itself. The marks are cut for no reason.

My college do have some good spots such as cultural center, trees cover you also providing shed in warm days. Gym is there, totally outdated. Library is good, we have a 6 floor 24*7 library. At night only boys are allowed.
