Recommends this college
Good aspects: 1) Pict has got excellent placement. 2) Faculty is awesome. 3) Teachers helps you out with every problem. They will force you to learn various courses which will help you in future. 4) N numbers of clubs are there where you can enjoy and get your skills brushed. 5) The seniors are just awesome. They are there just like your family members, they will guide you at every moment you need them. Bad aspects: 1) Pict is very strict when it comes to academics. 2) Pict do not follow many internships means they do not provide many holidays for internships(1month regularly). Admission process: Pict admissions are done based on two entrance exams: MHTCET and JEE MAINS. The cutoffs are really high almost 99 percentile for IT and CS branch (for general) and for entc it is above 95 percentile. I will give my personal advice : If you think you can't crack JEE MAINS, don't feel bad or demotivated just focus on MHTCET. This exam will help you to get in best college like COEP, VJTI, PICT, SPIT and many more.

They will let you learn various courses which will be useful to you in the future. The teachers have very good knowledge of their subject. Their teaching quality is awesome. But they are a little strict in terms of study and assignment submissions. The crowd in PICT college is very good that even if any student is not interested in studying, they will get interested in studying and take different courses which their classmates are doing. Seniors are really awesome here, and they are just like your family members. They will also guide you whenever you need them. The teachers are strict, so you can't even think of skipping classes.

Faculty: Some teachers here are very good and PhD holders, but others are pursuing their PhD along with teaching. Yet others are just M.Tech holders. They help students in trouble, but others are not that qualified to even teach properly in the class. Students have very good contact with seniors who can help and guide them better than teachers. Lectures are being conducted daily for 4 hours and a 2-hour practical session. As the college is non-autonomous, the curriculum is defined by the Pune University in which we have 40 subjects in four years, and we have a credit-based system like any other IIT or NITs. Our college keeps on organising a few technical fests which help students to be industry-ready and hence supports the curriculum. Especially few subjects curricula are designed very well that if students do that sincerely, then surely they will get an advantage.

In our department, more than 85% of students got placed, which is the highest as compared to every other department in our college. The highest salary package offered is 23 LPA by Goldman Sachs.
