PCCOE, Pune - community

I’m a diploma student from Maharashtra and I’m at a major decision point for my engineering journey. I’ve got the option to join **Ramdeobaba University (RBU), Nagpur** directly in 2nd year through lateral entry, but I’m also considering whether I should wait or try for **Mumbai or Pune colleges** like **COEP, VJTI, PICT, SPIT, PCCOE**, etc. **My main goal is to get placed in a good company through college and move abroad via that company.** I’m aiming for international exposure and a solid career path after BTech. I’ve heard a lot of mixed opinions, and I’m confused about: 1. Does **RBU** offer enough placement opportunities with companies that offer international roles or chances to move abroad later? 2. Do colleges in Mumbai or Pune (COEP, VJTI, PICT) give a better platform for such companies and global exposure? 3. How much does the **college name** really affect your chances when applying for jobs abroad later on? 4. Should I stick with RBU and focus on CGPA + skills, or prepare for another **CET attempt** to target top-tier colleges? I want to make this decision smartly, not emotionally, and set my career up for moving abroad after BTech. If anyone has personal experience or any suggestions, please share. It’s stressing me out.
