Should you pick Ph.D. Electronic Science at SPPU?

This course suits students who want electronics research and can work with one guide for three years.

Pick it if:
You have a master's in electronics: the department accepts Electronic Science, Instrumentation Science and Physics for this Ph.D.
You want Pune labs and industry: the city has electronics firms and research labs close to the university campus.
Your family can pay per semester: you pay tuition in six parts, and the fee block shows the full cost.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year.
Skip it if:
You are counting on PET alone: the interview has 30% weight, so prepare your research plan before the call.
You need a fixed supervisor first: the university allots guides after PET and interview, not before the form.
You want only a quick job: this course is research first, so the thesis takes most of the three years.
You cannot wait for the list: the PET result is only one step, and the interview list comes after it.
Counsellor's advice
Take it if your guide fit is clear and you can give three years. If the guide fit is unclear, ask the department before you pay.

FAQs on SPPU Ph.D. Electronic Science

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is Ph.D. Electronic Science at SPPU worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you want research and a guide fit. The full fee without hostel is INR 31,000 and the latest published package averaged INR 6.5 LPA, so the fee is low against the pay figure. If you need a loan, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my PET score is near the close?▾
Not on the number alone. The General merit range used here closes at 12,400, and the interview has 30% weight in the final process. Keep SPPU in your list, but prepare your research plan before the interview and use the checker above for your category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students use this course for research, teaching, electronics labs or higher research roles. The latest published package averaged INR 6.5 LPA, the median was INR 2 LPA and 92% of the batch was placed. If you want only a quick campus job, check the placement fit before you join.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a fixed supervisor before the form, or if you want a short job course. SPPU allots the guide after PET and interview, and the thesis work takes three years. If that time is hard for you, pick a shorter path.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, that is the main reason to take it. The course is a three-year research degree with coursework first and thesis work after guide allotment. Use the interview to check whether your topic fits the department labs, because guide fit matters more than the fee.
Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾
Wait only if your research topic or guide fit is unclear. The fee without hostel is INR 31,000, so cost is not the main problem here. If your topic fits and you clear the process, take the seat and start the guide talk early.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but the role may be research or teaching first. The latest batch placed 92% of students, and the median of INR 2 LPA is lower than the average of INR 6.5 LPA. Keep your research work steady and ask the department about placement support before year 3.
Is this course better for research or for a quick job?▾
It is better for research. The course takes three years and the department expects thesis work after coursework. The average pay is INR 6.5 LPA, but the degree makes most sense when you want electronics research, teaching or a lab role. If you need a quick job, check placements first.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Fill the SPPU Ph.D. form, take SPPU PET if you are not exempt, and attend the department interview. PET carries 70% weight and the interview carries 30%. Pay the fee after the offer list and report with your papers on the date above.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 3-year fee is INR 31,000 without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 2.11 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.

Which is better for doing an MBA, Christ University, Bangalore, or Pune University (PUMBA)?

Aditi BanerjeeLives in Bangalore

Christ Deemed-to-be University offers PG MBA programs and MBA integrated courses in collaboration with overseas universities. The highest offer was INR 21.46 LPA in the 2022 placement report.

Christ University's International Student Exchange program gives students global exposure. It offers this option for students to learn from peers abroad.

Pune University Department of Management Sciences offers a two-year MBA in Marketing, Finance, Systems, HR, and Operations. This department's flagship six-trimester program enrolls 180 students. The highest offer was INR 18 LPA in the 2022 placement report.

The top reasons to choose PUMBA are

  • ROI: MBA returns in India are decent. PUMBA is excellent. Its two-year tuition is Rs. 135,000. Last year's PUMBA average salary was Rs 5.5 lakh. The top 50% of packages exceed 6.5 lakhs. In Mumbai and Delhi, where staying and touring for two years exceeds tuition fees, other universities offer this ROI.
  • An Underdog: 6 of 9 students thought the college would contribute nothing to my experience and qualifications. But now I know my maximum value will be here. My friends who joined before and after us are the same. 
  • Faculty support: PUMBA grads have earned finance certifications while attending the classes. B-school's busy timetable makes such time luxury challenging. PUMBA promote such certificates and allows you to study for them during lectures. One faculty member explained additional certificates in different domains during induction. 
  • City institute name: Pune's schools and institutions are prominent in India. Its management school reputation is low. However, the city has several company offices. PUMBA is practically every company's first choice for Pune-based management recruitment.

Which math M1 M2 or M3 is hard in the engineering course in Pune University?

Riya BanerjeeB.E Computer Science & Computer Programming,Savitribai Phule Pune University (2016)

Ony of my sisters is a part of Pune University and as per what she mentions, it is best that you practice the fundamental mathematical problems. Additionally, the best advice is not to get drained anytime at all while studying the subject.

Now, when shifting focus to your question, 

  • M1 incorporates basic algebra and is deemed pretty simpler than usual. 
  • On the other hand, M2 might still be difficult, yet it can however be aced if you practice the basics of integration and derivation.
  • In the case of M3, the course entirely depends upon the fundamentals you have earlier prepared for M2. 
  • After a brief elaboration, it is best that you rather choose preparing for M2, because it can contribute to making the subject quite easier. 

The study standpoint is curated as per the syllabus, and is best if you follow the pattern in accordance with it.
