For its B.Tech program, VIT Pune considers the JEE Mains and MH-CET scores of the aspirants. The admissions take place through a state-level counseling. The college does not have a management quota for B.Tech admissions, but lateral B.Tech admissions do take place.
Here are the 2023 JEE Mains and MH-CET cutoffs for B.Tech admissions at VIT Pune-

This is the complete detail on admissions at VIT Pune.

The fee for management quota seats depends on the branch one opts for. As CSE is the most sought after branch, its fee is higher than the others.
The fee ranges from 12-22 Lakhs for B.Tech management quota seats, at MIT Pune. For CSE, it is on the higher end of this range. At VIT Pune, the fee ranges from 8-20 Lakhs. Again, it is on the higher end for B.Tech CSE.
These figures aren’t fixed, they are based on factors such as market demand and inflation rates. Thus, I recommend you confirm the fee structure with the admissions department of both these colleges.

I can enlighten you about the schedule of first shift students at VIT Pune.
Morning classes start at 8am. Those who aren’t lucky enough to have a vehicle of their own, reach the campus by climbing the famous VIT slope. Walking to the college becomes especially tough during the rainy season as one has to walk in the opposite direction to pouring rain.
Some professors are very particular about time, and close the doors at sharp 8 am. After 2-3 lectures of an hour each, one gets an hour-long break. During this time, one eats at either of the two canteens or Poona Bakery. The break is followed by more lecture/lab sessions. After this, either one is free, or some more lectures commence after another break.
Not all days are the same. Sometimes one gets free after 3 hours, while other times, classes and labs may even stretch to 8 hours. One usually gets free by 3pm. Saturday is a holiday for SE, TE and BE. Freshers have to attend general proficiency courses for 2 hours on Saturdays. GP includes Photography, Chess, Guitar, Violin, Yoga, Aerobics and other interesting hobbies. No leaves are awarded before exams, but the syllabus is quite manageable.
This is the basic routine of first shift B.Tech students at VIT Pune. You’ll face a fair share of challenges, but in the end, you’ll be left with everlasting memories.

These are the Round 2 cutoffs for various B.Tech branches at VIT Pune.
As a student of B.Tech ENTC at VIT Pune, I can shed some light on this branch.
ENTC is one of the best branches of VIT Pune. It is an autonomous college, so it freely decides its course curriculum. The syllabus is industry relevant, and will equip you for higher studies. The curriculum contains skill development courses which will help you during placements and projects.
The department offers honors in fields like Robotics, Embedded System Design and VLSI. These additional courses carry extra credits. Instead of assignments, the new curriculum focuses on labs and mini projects. Many students opt for industry sponsored projects.
You may intern in a foreign university through the student exchange programs run by VIT Pune. The department has several student bodies- IEEE and IETE student branch, E-EDC (Electronics Entrepreneurship Development Cell), and TRF(The Robotics Forum). They conduct workshops, seminars, industrial visits, and participate in competitions like ROBOCON, e-yantra, etc.
Placement-wise, ENTC is second to CS/IT. Very few core companies visit the campus, so most placements are in the IT sector. Many students get offers from foreign universities for their higher studies.
Overall, ENTC at VIT Pune is a good branch with a supportive faculty. You can consider this branch for your engineering studies.
I will shed some light on the placements for B.Tech Mechanical at VIT Pune-
The placement figures aren’t very promising. 26.4% students were placed from B.Tech Mechanical 2022. Many students aren’t eligible for the placements due to backlogs or low CGPA. Some companies require a minimum of 60-65% in 10th, 12th and graduation.
Many don’t opt for placements. Instead, they prepare for UPSC or opt for higher studies.These factors contribute to the low placement percentage. The average package stands at around 4-5 LPA. During 2022 placements, the highest package was INR 9LPA, and the average package was INR 4.77 LPA.
The companies mostly come seeking sales engineers, very few come for design engineers. Some offer different profiles in a production plant.
For B.Tech Mechanical, VIT Pune is the next best option after COEP/VJTI. However, the placement figures aren’t very promising.

Indira Pune is not the best choice for an MCA degree. So I wouldn’t comment about it in my answer.
MIT Pune offers good academics, and VIT Pune is known for its placements and ranking. MIT offers an MCA in Management, whereas VIT offers an MCA in Engineering. MCA in management includes subjects such as Business, Finance, Cost Accounting, etc. MCA in engineering revolves around engineering subjects.
If you have an interest in this degree, join VIT. But if you are simply seeking a job in the Banking/Finance sector, choose MIT.
I would personally recommend you join VIT Pune. It is an autonomous college and its syllabus is regularly updated. But you must make a choice based on your preference.

Here are my honest views on which college you should choose for your B.Tech IT-
VIT Vellore grants admissions based on VITEEE, which is an all India exam. Students from all over India take part in this entrance. On the other hand, VIT Pune grants admissions mainly on the basis of MH-CET, in which a limited number of students participate.
VIT Vellore has a diverse crowd whereas, mostly localities join VIT Pune. Other than that, VIT Vellore follows no reservation policy for its admissions, but MH-CET has a high number of reserved seats.
VIT Vellore offers good placements in B.Tech IT. The campus organizes plenty of competitions, fests and events throughout the year. This college provides plenty of growth opportunities to its students.
For IT, or for any other engineering branch, I would recommend you choose VIT Vellore over VIT Pune.
