Should you pick Ph.D. (Prakrit) at Savitribai Phule Pune University?

This course suits students who like old language texts and want research or teaching work.

Pick it if:
You passed master degree in this state: half the seats are Open, so a score that misses the Reserved list can still get in.
You want language research: the subject-wise placement table lists the same four product recruiters in each of the last three years.
Your family can pay only per semester: you pay the tuition fee in eight parts, and a request to split it further opens every August.
You want the fee back fast: the course fee is low, so the ROI tile pays the fee back within one working year.
Skip it if:
You are counting on last year's PET score: it has got tougher three years in a row, so last year's number is not a safe score.
You need a single room from the first year: first-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 1.
You want internships in a big city: this is a research course, so internships you find on your own matter less than guide fit.
You will decide only after the JEE Advanced result: the research centre list can move fast, so keep your proposal ready before PET result comes.
Counsellor's advice
Freeze this subject if interview gives it to you on a Open score. If you are Reserved and below the interview close, float it and keep a safer university above it.

In short
Mumbai costs less and pays more on average, but its PET score is about 3,000 places tougher. If your score clears both, take Mumbai; if it clears only SPPU, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.
In short
Pune places more of its batch but charges INR 75,000 more over three years and pays a little less. If its easier PET score is what you need, keep it one place below SPPU in your choice list as the safer seat.
In short
Harbour charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If SPPU gives you a seat in any round, take it; Harbour belongs below it in your list, not above it.
In short
Kolhapur costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier PET score. If your score misses SPPU in the early rounds, list Kolhapur right below it and take whichever comes first.
In short
Summit is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If SPPU allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep Summit only as your backup.

Fees and pay can change. Check each university site before you decide.

FAQs on Savitribai Phule Pune University Ph.D. (Prakrit)

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is Ph.D. Prakrit at this university worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 46,800 and the last batch averaged INR 4.8 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my score is just above the PET score?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The Open seat closed at score 55 in final list and it got tougher three years in a row, so a score that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this university in your list with a safer university above it, and use the score checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get research and teaching jobs with research, teaching and content teams that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 4.8 LPA, the median was INR 4.2 LPA and 92% of the batch was placed. If you want a language research path instead, this subject is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 1. The campus is in a Pune campus, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city university.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 1. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 1, but the electives in year 1 and 4 cover machine learning and networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 1 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better score?▾
Only if you can raise your score by a lot, not a little. The Open PET score got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a subject change after year 1 if you want a sibling subject.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 92% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 4.2 LPA is lower than the average of INR 4.8 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 1.
Is this subject better than ECE at this university for me?▾
Pick Prakrit if you want a software job and ECE if you want a language research path. Prakrit places a bigger share of its batch with research roles, and its PET score is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want Prakrit, the subject change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the PET exam and fill this university in your SPPU choice list. A seat comes in the round your score clears, and you must accept it and pay the admission fee within the days SPPU gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 3-year fee is INR 46,800 without hostel. With hostel and living it comes to INR 2.27 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 university 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.
