The fee structure for 2017-2018 varies based on category, with open category students paying 135,255 INR and SC students paying 4,255 INR.

VIT Pune: 1 Answered Question

Which is the better option - PICT for IT, VIT Pune for IT, or WCE Sangli for CSE?

Abhinav ChowdhuryLives in Pune, Maharashtra, India

My friend was in a similar dilemma when he was left with these three options. Based on his experience, PICT is the best option in Pune for computers. The institute provides an environment and resources suitable for working on quality projects. The academic ambiance is excellent and you will get a chance to develop yourself. Students with a good CGOA bag good offers while some open their own startups.

WCE is a decent college with a good campus and faculty pool. The students make it to average companies like TCS Infosys cognizant. It’s the best college in the Kolhapur and Solapur University area. Most students opt for a job rather than pursuing higher studies.

VIT has the added advantage of being in Pune so if you ever face this situation, choose VIT over WCE. The preference order therefore is, PICT>VIT>WCE.
