I mainly chose Symbi cuz of its prestigious reputation and teaching standards. Also Symbi ranks in the top 2 private colleges for BCA. I didn’t have to write any entrance test as my admission totally depended on my board exam marks (due to NRI category).
Course curriculum and all are pretty decent, but the faculty could be slightly better especially the visiting faculty, they behave as if the college doesn’t even matter to them. The other faculty members are pretty great and very much approachable.
As an NRI, I pay approximately Rs. 4.6 lacs whereas, the general category students pay almost 75k to 1 lac lesser than I do. The foreign nationals pay the least amount (approx. 1300 usd). They also have scholarships just for the foreign nationals.
The campus isn’t the best. It’s just one building and to be honest I’d prefer this campus over the Lavale campus as SICSR is in the heart of the city, so we can access any place easily. We all get access to their E-library and can also register for their physical library. About clubs, I feel it’s pretty great. There are a bunch of clubs and if the students desire to then they can inaugurate their own clubs aswell. Sports events happen every 2-3 Months and there are many options. One down side is that our Campus doesn’t have any sports facilities, in order to access the sports facilities we have to go all the way to Lavale (Symbi main campus). Classrooms can be better, I feel the classrooms need to get equipped with the smart-boards and air conditioners. Festivals are also celebrated in SICSR. Last festival that we had celebrated was Navratri, it was celebrated in the college parking area and people could also go to Lavale campus to attend the bigger fest.
The hostel is pretty decent, even though its a non AC hostel we don't require an AC due to the weather in Pune. The mess food is pretty mid. The quality is fine. The menu changes every week and we all just wait for their chole bhature. My hostel is located on SB road which is 2kms away from my College. I feel that they overprice everything for the NRIs especially the hostel
I haven't reached my placement stage yet but from what I have seen the college doesn't wait until the final year to start preparing students. We have coding sessions, skills building workshops and career guidance from the beginning. Seniors also share their experiences which gives us a better idea of what to expect. I feel the college is helping us build the right foundation for internships and placements. At the same time, I think getting a good job also depends on how much effort we put into improving our own skills. So far I feel I am on the right track
no placement data is present now but many of students are working on their own projects and few are cracked the internships and now currently serving their period on the companies and it's really great opportunities.
The college does have a placement cell. It provides some in campus placements . Rarely 2% students get in campus placements. Rest have to find jobs pn their own. You wi have to do alot of interships and gain practical skills to be placed
Diffrent companies have different criteria, limited companies comes in campus such as bootcoding Pvt.Ltd , and some small companies arrived. Highest package giving by companies is 4 LPA lowest package is 3LPA and average package is 2.5LPA. about 20% of students got placed. Searching a job after my course computation.
The faculty members are supporting but inexperienced the experienced professionals have left the college long time ago. This is one of the old colleges in Pune. The semesters are generally proactive extracurricular activities are less and are given not much priority .
There are the placements are done in the final year of college, You are eligible for the appear in the placements drive you have to score good scores in the semester exams. There are the lowest 3LPA and highest 6LPA packages are offered by the companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, BOAT, SBI , Ultra Tech, Mahindra, Capgemini etc. Students have to maintain their SGPA up to 8.0 CGPA.
engineering course curriculum is very old specially for university batch students my batch get admission in 2022 at that our college is not get autonomous status. passing semester exams is little hard in university compare to autonomous batch. faculties teachings methods are very old. And not practical learning provided.
there are lots of mnc company visted college every year, most of companies have there eligiblity criteria is 60% and above overall from 10th, the biggest tech companies like tcs, wipro, accenture, deloitte, infosys, the average package is around 3lpa, every year 50 to 70% students getting placed.
The placements are nice. Majorly Hafiz contractor firm take students. But a lot of firms do come fruit placement. Take interview and hire students. Last year a lot of students got placements based on their portfolios and skills And got salaries ranging from 2,50,000-6,00,000 Annually.
The placement and job opportunities in college is good the MOU's signed by company are good almost 40-50% of college gets placement remaining go for off campus placements there are companies like TCS , Accenture etc
