Engineering Cutoff and Student Experience

Vedant Takawane, a BE student, described the computer engineering cutoff as high but manageable. After applying to several colleges, he selected the institution because of this cutoff and its convenient location with excellent public transport connectivity.

Programme Context Reported Cutoff
Computer engineering, according to Vedant Takawane's account 96-97 percentile

Curriculum, Faculty and Admission Experience

Vedant found the admission process straightforward once eligibility was met. He identified OOP, Computer Networks, DBMS and Operating Systems as subjects useful for future prospects, while suggesting that less relevant subjects could be combined or reduced.

His account gives the faculty a rating of 4, noting a mix of doctorate and non-doctorate professors, with the latter encouraged to pursue PhDs. Faculty members are approachable, although lectures alone may not meet every academic need, particularly alongside strict attendance monitoring. He describes the curriculum affiliated with Savitribai Phule Pune University as well structured and not creating undue pressure.

Scholarships and Hostel Support

The university provides scholarships and hostel facilities to support students financially despite differences in programme fees.
