SIT Pune offers many M.Tech specializations for those who completed their 4-year graduation with minimum 50% (45% for SC/ST) marks. This includes Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Automotive Technology, Robotics & Artificial Intelligence, Engineering Design, and Geoinformatics. 

Yes but primarily for Computer Science and IT branches. MIT-WPU offers exceptional infrastructure and active tech placements with an average salary of INR 7.25 LPA. 

However, the total tuition fees are very high leading to a low Return on Investment (ROI) for core branches like Civil or Mechanical.

Here's what current and former students have to say:

Pros:

* Autonomous college with well-qualified and knowledgeable faculty members (almost all PhD holders)
* Industry-exposed courses with a focus on practical applications
* Good opportunities for internships (90% of students got one) with companies like Tata Communications Ltd, Emerson, Philips, etc.
* Faculty members are supportive and willing to help students
* State-of-the-art infrastructure with modern facilities
* Cultural and technical events like Gandharva, Aavishkar, Robocon, Hackathon, etc. for overall development

Cons:

* Placements for M.Tech students are limited compared to undergraduate programs
* No WiFi access for students (only for faculty members)
* Canteen options could be improved
* Limited space for conducting lectures in some cases

Conclusion:
While VIIT Pune offers a strong foundation for pursuing higher education, particularly in engineering, students considering the institution for M.E./M.Tech must weigh the pros and cons carefully. While the college excels in providing industry exposure, supporting faculty members, and good infrastructure, it falls short when it comes to placements for postgraduate students. It's essential to research and evaluate the college's performance in recent years before making an informed decision.
