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.

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.

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.

My review of this college.

Placements: My internship period was very good, and I worked on a final year project about online property portals. During this time, I received a stipend of ₹5,000 per month for 6 months. Placements are good here, with companies like TCS, Accenture, Nomura, Google, Microsoft, JP Morgan, Capgemini, and others visiting the campus. I recommend visiting this campus. Nearly 80% of students get placed. The average package ranges from ₹2.5 to ₹5.0 LPA. The companies have also introduced new interview levels, wher...

A place to grow and shine.

Placements: Hi there, I would like to elaborate a little about my college. First of all, I am a second-year B.Tech student in the CSE (AI & ML) branch at Pimpri Chinchwad University, Pune. I am enriched by the vibrant culture of PCU- a great combination of learning, leading and innovation together. Secondly, about the placements, if I talk about that (not in my branch), but for one of the branches, they have cracked an annual package of 61 LPA. The average I talk about is around 7 LPA-10 LPA.
