Renowned across Maharashtra for its pioneering pool campus drives and systematic industry interactions, PCCoE consistently achieves strong employment numbers for its final-year undergraduate (B.Tech) and postgraduate (M.Tech, MCA, MBA) students.
The institution benefits from its proximity to major Information Technology (IT) parks and automotive manufacturing hubs in Hinjawadi, Talawade, and Chakan. This geographical advantage translates into a consistent track record, with the college securing a placement rate between 80% to 85% for eligible candidates even during fluctuating market conditions.
