What Students Say
Likes
- The most likable thing about the college is the clubs that you can join to learn management and teamwork while pursuing your interests
- People come from all over india and have a passion for indian army which makes the college more diverse and lively, without any regional bias
- The number of competition and participation available to get exposure if you are a really dedicated individual
Dislikes
- The number of Fines is outrageous. Students have paid a total amount of more than 24lakhs in total fines in 2023. And it has crossed 21lakhs in 2024 within 1 semester
- No holidays by college or university. Impossible to go home on such a short notice especially when information is given just a day before any holidays. No reservations are available and students suffer. Nothing more than 4 days is available
- There is a very tedious and troublesome system to get any official document signed or work done.
Course Curriculum Overview
The courses are given from the Savitribai Phuel University which is a very corrupt university to begin with, The courses get updated every 5 years but it's mostly just shuffling and some minor changes to the existing study material. You are still studying the topics from 1990s but the names of subjects change
Fees and Financial Aid
Fees for everyone is same, we paid 90,000 rupees for hostel in 2021. Now the cost for hostel is 110000, and the academic fees used to be just under 200000 now it has grown to 264000 and is constantly growing. The amount if development fees and other expenses is constantly growing and fines are being levied everyday and is constantly growing. The infrastructure development doesn't justify the increase in the costs.
Campus Life
The people you meet here are great. And good with various experiences and talents. Many clubs in various fields are there to learn such as game dev, cybersecurity, technical and cultural fields like debate dramatic and quizzes. Sports and recreation facilities are there but mostly running on full capacity. The gender ratio is 1:4 but the representation is almost equal
Hostel Facilities
The hostels are alloted on the basis of merit, ranging from singlets to top 10. And doublets and triplets to the rest. Hostel is compulsory in 1st year. And you can choose to be a day scholar since second year. The building construction is fine and cleaned regularly. Students are locked inside for the night and no order are allowed expect the night canteen that rarely is functioning. Till 12pm max. The food quality of mess is above average. The food is occasionally bad. The only issue is that having similar food everyday bores any person.
Admission
I applied to this college because it gives admission to only the wards of army personnel. My other options included thapar institute of technology that I didn't join as the admissions closed before AIT list came so I couldn't compare. I cleared cutoff for some NITs but not the advanced cutoff for IITs as my main focus was to join army. I got recommended and medical out so this college was my go to plan
Faculty
The faculty is very average. To excel in studies you will have to study on your own. There's a very big deal about finishing your assignments and it has a really unrealistic standard of number of pages to be filed, the faculty does help if you approach them out of class. But almost all grading in being done on the basis of attendance
Night Life
There's no nightlife in AIT. The college get's shut down at 10PM. And at 9 in 1st year. Every sports get's closed before this and nobody is allowed to stay outside college after 9. Day scholars are not allowed in college after 7:30PM. The nightlife in pune is negligible. And there's a strict police petrol since the Porsche case.
