Indrajeet Jadhav's Review On College Of Engineering - [COEP], Pune

College is one of the finest engineering colleges in India. It gives you decent placement, good atmosphere to learn and develops you in true sense. I personally recommend COEP to all students.

I had appeared for MHT-CET exam in 2011 and scored 194/200 marks. I was interested in Mechanical branch and COEP is the best suited college for this branch.

COEP is an autonomous institute. So it has a little different course curriculum compared to pune university engineering colleges. This course is customized considering changing needs of industries. This gives additional benefit to COEP students.

In summer of second and third year of engineering, companies come in college to offer summer internships. The companies include Mercedes, Eaton, Thermax, Alfa Laval, Premier. They also give good stipend to students of around 4k to 8k per month.

COEP placement scenario is quite good. Almost 70-80% students get placed in companies. Apart from core companies like mercedes, ford, hyundai, alfa-lava, tata motors, tata steel, mass companies infosys, wipro, congizant also offer jobs to students. Average package of mass comapnies is around 3.25 to 4 lacs and for core, it is around 4 to 5.5 lacs.

College organizes large number of festivals every year. Mind-spark is technical festival organized every year which is attended by students from all over maharastra. Zest is a sports festival organized in January. College has river bank on one side. Regatta is an annual boat festival which is unique festival of college. Apart from this, various national and international conferences, technical exhibitions and talks are held by college.

Hostel is at 10-15 minute walk from college campus. It is quite good. Girls have a separate 11 story building. Boys hostel campus contains around 8 buildings. Hostel condition is good. There is problem of bed bugs in some hostel blocks. There are five mess available in hostel campus apart from canteen. Mess food quality and variety are good. The fee of hostel and mess changes every year but it is affordable for sure.

Various scholarships are available for students in COEP. Some of them are provided by COEP Alumni. Companies like premier also provide scholarships to some of the students. Also there are different foundations which provide scholarship. Loan facility is available in college. SBI bank is situated in collgeSS which provides loan with a little formalities.

Campus life is good. Gender ratio is 60:40 in male favour. Various extracurricular and co curricular activities are held in college. College teams participate in chess, hockey, cricket, badminton, table tennis, waterpolo, basketball, etc, tournaments at university level. College has a club ' Robot study Circle' which is involved in robotics domain. College team also participate in technical competitions like Robocon, BAHA, Supra.

There is Alumni association in college. Alumni network is quite good. Alumni working different industries stay connected with college and help students as well as administration. Alumni association also provides scholarships to students in college.

Faculty is well qualified and expert in their respective domains.
