Really good infrastructure and facilities in PCU.

Faculty: If we talk about the faculty, the faculty is very good and highly qualified. All the teachers have a minimum Ph.D. degree in their respective fields. The course curriculum is very good, it is well structured and properly designed, and it actually makes students industry-ready. The semester exams in college are the actual platform that tests students from problem-solving to practical application. The passing percentage of the 1st semester was 96%.

Honest review of Pimpri Chinchwad University (PCU).

Faculty: At PCU, all faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive. They also guide like family. They said to every student that the success of future so it motivates every student. Pass percentage in the exam is 40 percent. But exam question level is too standard.

Absolutely good autonomous college, with good placements in 2021, and excellent ambience.

Faculty: Faculty members are helpful throughout the year with all support, they are trained to maintain healthy relationships between students and teachers, and solve silly questions. There are 3 exams, including the end-of-semester exam, and after each semester, there are backlog papers, and also a summer term exam, which is the last chance to cover up the backlogs. Exam difficulty level can be considered as moderate.

My review of this college.

Faculty: Faculty at my college is mostly amazing and wonderful, though a few are not very good. Many teachers are very knowledgeable and friendly, always trying to help us improve our skills and understanding. Lectures are held regularly, and the syllabus is usually completed on time. Exams include both internal and external (university) tests, and they can be quite challenging. However, internal marks often seem to be given based on favoritism, regardless of how well you perform.

College is good. The only downside is the canteen, leaving that aside, everything else is good

Faculty: Faculty members are too good and experienced. They are friendly and supportive, just amazing. Their teaching and techniques are too good. I think it's the best college for students to have such a great faculty. About the semester, it's not difficult when you have such facilities. The passing percentage is based on credit score, and the passing credit score we need is above 24.

Good for someone with no better options.

Faculty: Semester exams are pretty easy. The course curriculum is good and the latest according to industry standards. Faculty is of decent quality with decent teaching skills. The course curriculum is relevant but does not provide real-world skills. Semester exams are easy but a decent level of preparation is needed.

Review of Pimpri Chinchwad University.

Faculty: Faculty is pretty good here. They give their best to students and focus on each and every student. Being a first-year student and a late joiner, it was difficult for me to understand the subjects. But they helped me a lot, and everything became easier for me then.
