Yes, you can apply for B.Tech in civil engineering.

VIT B School is better in terms of placement, ROI, Faculty, Infra and others factor too.

You have to appear for LEET exam. The admission process for diploma holders is ranking wise. But, still, you have to score 90 to 95 percentage for appearing in COEP in final year.

COEP being a government autonomous college has a slight edge over PICT. However, there's no doubt PICT is amongst the best in Pune, if not Maharashtra.
