Which is better CSE at Walchand college of engineering, Sangli or VIT Pune CSE?
As opposed to the preconceived notion, not every college in Pune is visited by the best companies. In fact, good companies can go to a great college even if it’s located in the middle of nowhere. That being said, WCE Sani is a better choice than VIT Pune in terms of the opportunities it offers.
- Placement: WCE has many big IT giants visiting the campus for placements.
- Club Activity: WCE has an active club life with many Technical & Non- Technical clubs. These clubs ensure the holistic development of the students
- Senior-Junior Interaction: Juniors receive constant guidance from seniors throughout their college life and there is a healthy relationship between them.
- Campus: WCE's infrastructure may not be at par with other private colleges but it has a big well-maintained campus spread over 90 acres with full greenery in it.

How does a typical day in VIT Pune pass by?
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.
Has anyone from VIT, Pune been placed in companies like Google or Microsoft?
Rarely do companies like Google and Microsoft visit VIT Pune for placements. They have made a few visits in the past and then recruited only the best students. These companies set fixed criteria for marks while shortlisting students.
So, your main goal should be to get good marks.Only then can you attract such companies.

How are the placements in VIT Pune (mechanical)?
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.
What should I prefer if I get VIT Pune, hostel or rooms for rent nearby?
It’s better to rent a flat/room than to live in the VIT College hostel. The hostel has bate minimum facilities whereas living in a room/flat muli cons avail as many facilities as you want. Although the girls hostel is pretty good, the old boys hostel is a big disappointment. The hostels are also far from the campus. So considering the cost of living, a flat or room is always affordable.
Additionally, if you stay in a hostel you will have to adhere to the curfew timings so you may not get the chance to attend the night practices, activities, club events, or functions. This won’t be the case if you choose to stay in a flat.
Except for the safety offered to the students in the hostel, you won’t find anything better than staying in a room. So choose wisely!

What is the difference between these colleges, VIT Pune and VU Pune?
this one is actually a bit confusing because VIT Pune and VU (Vishwakarma University) are essentially the same institution under different branding.
VIT Pune = Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Pune (the original college name, an autonomous engineering college affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University). it recently received university status and is now referred to as Vishwakarma University in some contexts.
so if someone is comparing "VIT Pune" vs "Vishwakarma University Pune" — they're comparing the same college pre and post university status grant. they're not two separate colleges.
if you're asking about the difference after the university status:
- same campus, same faculty, same infrastructure
- as a university now, VU/VIT Pune can offer more programs and has more autonomy in curriculum
- branding may differ across different admission years/materials
- placements and reputation remain the same ongoing trajectory
if however you're comparing VIT Pune (Vishwakarma) with VIT Vellore's Pune campus — those are completely different institutions. VIT Vellore is a much more established and reputed college for CSE/ECE. don't confuse the two!
How do I get direct admission in VIT Pune?
Firstly you need to determine the department you are interested in. You can choose between branches like CSE, IT, ECE, Mechanical, and EE as per your inclinations.
- Qualifying Examination: You should have completed their 12th standard or equivalent examination from a recognized board/university with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
- Marks Required: If you are a general category candidate, you should have secured a minimum of 50% aggregate marks in the 12th standard examination.
Apart from scoring more than 50% in your PCM class 12th, you also have to appear in any exam MHT-CET OR JEE Mains. Then You need to apply through DTE’s CAP rounds.
Hope this helps you!
