Really good infrastructure and facilities in PCU.

Placements: Actually, PCU is having its first convocation, so frankly speaking, the percentage of students placed is comparatively less. The information on the package amount hasn't been disclosed yet. We have heard from the faculty that Wipro, Olx, etc., companies are interested in recruiting. Currently, we don't have enough information about the roles that are provided.

Infrastructure: For our course, that's B.Tech CSE (AIML), we have been provided with well-furnished labs of science, computer languages, etc. Wi-Fi is provided, and it has a very good range and speed. The college has a very good library with many reference books. Those are difficult to find online. For medical aid, we have a separate committee named Rahat, which looks after all medical stuff. Hostel food is good, and canteen food is very good.

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%.

Other: I chose this course because the scope of AIML is very large in the future. So this course is very important if an individual wants to make a career in the field of AI. I just wanted the sports field to be a bit better. The extracurricular activities are there, and they are good. The campus events are very good for connectivity, and scholarships are also provided to the students who score on merit. The surrounding is very calm and pollution-free.

Satisfied with the good faculty, placements, infrastructure, and facilities of the college.

Placements: All students are nicely scored. 80% of students were placed. The highest package was 14 LPA, I guess. I don’t know the exact amount. Companies like Google and Amazon recruit our students. 80% of students got internships for ethical hacking. It’s a nice college. Everyone is supportive.

Infrastructure: We have all experienced faculty. They give us several seminars. Nice air-conditioned computer lab with proper Wi-Fi. All classrooms are neat and clean. We also have libraries for our studies. They have all the books available. Even the library is air-conditioned.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful to everyone. Anything we need, they provide us. All are very highly qualified teachers and also very knowledgeable. The teaching quality is nice. They explain in our native language using PPT. The course curriculum is relevant. It makes students industry-ready. Nothing is difficult. We just need to prepare properly and attend lectures. Papers are easy to solve.

Other: I joined this course because there is scope in this field and also I love ethical hacking. The best things about my course are that the faculty is nice, and everything is perfect. Events are next level, and fests are superb. The campus crowd is decent, interaction is nice, and the campus atmosphere is fresh. The college gives scholarships.

This college is small but beautiful.

Placements: Placements are average because this college is new, so till now no placements have happened for B.Tech students, however, MCA students had their placements, which were average. This college has a centralised placement system with PCCOE, so I think placements will be average.

Infrastructure: The hostel is not that good, basic facilities like water and food are lacking. If we talk about facilities and infrastructure available for the course, the labs are not that large, but they are available for everything. Wi-Fi is not for students, and classrooms are good. Every classroom has projector facilities.

Faculty: Helpfulness of teachers varies from teacher to teacher, but mostly are helpful, but some are arrogant. The course curriculum is relevant and matches most universities. Semester exams are not that difficult, an average student can easily pass. The pass percentage is 33%.

Other: Fest does not happen very frequently, since the time I joined this university, just a single fest has happened.

Master of Computer Applications (MCA) - Batch of 2027

4.0Placements5.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty5.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money

Honest review of Pimpri Chinchwad University (PCU).

Placements: Currently, only 10 students are placed from MCA department this year but still now campusing is going. Many companies like TCS, Wipro, HCL Tech, Blinkit, Core Integra, Aloha Technology, etc. The highest package is 50 LPA. Minimum salary is 20 LPA. Minimum 50 percent of students got internships.

Infrastructure: Currently, I am an MCA student at PCU. Here, the facilities of labs are too updated and Wi-Fi is available all the time. Library with huge books and many authors is there. On this campus, you will get a Nescafe outlet with a huge canteen. For emergency in one building medical facilities are there.

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.

Other: I chose this course to upskill my skills for career. There are too much events organized by college and also club. But there are no scholarship facilities, I think that should be added.

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

Placements: About placement from the last year, it is said to get 90% of campus placement. Highest package until now is 61 LPA, average package is 5 LPA, and below average it's 3 LPA. Recruiters such as Bajaj, IBM, and Whirlpool recruit students. Top roles like HR, Manager, etc., have been offered to the skilled students.

Infrastructure: It's an underdeveloped college that still has great infrastructure with good ambience and a healthy environment to grow. Girls' hostels are built on the campus, and boys' hostels are built outside. Canteen food is delicious, while sports department helps with physical growth.

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.

Other: Choosing this course was already decided. Nothing to improve other than building infrastructure and attractions at the college. Extra-curricular activities have been held with lots of excitement. Campus crowd can be considered the center of attraction. Campus is situated near mountains with beautiful nature around.

Best infrastructure with placement guaranteed.

Placements: There are no placements till now because the course was opened just 3 years ago. So there will be a placement next year for these courses. Now this year 20 students from AIDS got internships. The top role in my course is Data Analytics. The course is better for freshers for early development in the AI or data field.

Infrastructure: My college is the best for it's infrastructure in Pune. There are computer labs, chemistry labs, and much more like a library which is hygienically good. The food canteen also has a better menu for students which can be affordable. The sports grounds are nicely developing like kho-kho, kabbadi, cricket, etc.

Faculty: The teachers are really helpful for solving doubts and concepts. The quality of teachers is good for teaching. The college gives you a chance to make projects and many more things which students need for placement. The semester exams are neither hard nor easy also. The passing criteria are 21 credits for all subjects.

Other: I chose this course because of the changes in the world we need to follow up with it and because of that change AI need to take on studies. There is no need for more improvements. The events are properly arranged, and the festive season is also celebrated nicely in college. The campus is also surrounded by natural vibes.
