Which is the best for mechanical engineering, VIIT in Pune, VIT in Pune, or MIT Pune?

Among these, VIT Pune is the best option for Mechanical Engineering. VIT Pune Mechanical branch is more than 20 years old. So, it had better exposure. This helps in better industry recognition, tie-ups. VIT offers better placements for the Mechanical branch. It offers more core placements compared to VIIT and MIT. According to the VIT Pune Mechanical Engineering placements of the last few years, the average CTC for the branch is 5-6 LPA. VIIT shares campus placement with VIT. But few companies visiting the placement drive don’t allow VIIT students to sit for placement. VIT, VIIT, and MIT three of these colleges are autonomous, and they update their curriculum regularly. So, you can expect similar academics from all three of these institutes.

Which is better for mechanical engineering in Pune: VIIT, VIT, or MIT?

I have many friends pursuing Mechanical Engineering in Pune from institutes like CIIT, VIT or MIT. Here is a comparative analysis of the two based on some common aspects Infrastructure: Infrastructure-wise, MIT is way ahead of VIIT and VIT. It has better campus facilities and a more diverse curriculum than other institutes. VIIT also has a decent infrastructure followed by VIT. Academics : All the aforementioned institutes have a well-updated curriculum mainly because they are autonomous. The faculty pool in general is of similar quality and you will have to depend on self-study more or less everywhere you go. Diversity : MIT has a more diverse student pool and you will get to interact with people coming from different states. Based on the crowd diversity, the preference order would be MIT> VIT> VIIT Practical exposure : VIT offers the best practical exposure because its Mechanical Engineering program is the oldest among the aforementioned institutes. VIIT and MIT ME branch is new so the exposure offered is very limited. In fact, these students are taken to VIT for exposure. Placements: VIIT and MIT have a similar average package of around INR 7 LPA while VIT had a lower average package of around INR 4.77 LPA. The final decision will depend on your future prospects and inclinations.

Student Life at VIT Pune: Covering technicalities, extracurriculars and placements

Many non - technical subjects like psychology are taught in the first year
They also encourage patenting and publishing of project research papers in international conferences and journals
It prioritises practical knowledge over theory by giving 5 projects each semester for better understanding of subjects and also judges students on theoretical & practical knowledge along with presentation and communication skills by assigning PPTs

The fee structure is different for students according to their economic and family background. Placement drives start early in the third year and many companies visit the college for recruiting. The companies cover a large range of industries and fields from computer science, artificial intelligence to mechanical and electronics.

A comprehensive review to shape your future

There are many scholarships available for reservation students, for them the fees is affordable but for open category students the fees feels too much, it's actually a huge amount. In my opinion they should increase the number of scholarships and also provide them based on the marks of the previous year.

The amount differ for every category.The employment rate is abot 90% i.e.almost every gets placed in different companies.
