Balanced Academic Journey at SKNCOE

I would rate the course curriculum 8/10 in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness. It covers core subjects, labs and projects well , giving a strong theoretical foundation and helping in higher studies . However , it is more heory focused and could include more practical exposure , internships and industry-based learning. Exams are held every semester. The difficulty level is moderate, and regular study is sufficient to score well.

Common internship roles include Software development,web development , Data analyst , testing and core engineering trainee roles are available. During internships ,students work on projects such as developing web applications, creating databases, building machine learning models , testing software modules or assisting in hardware based projects.

students generally become eligible for campus placements from 7th semester. Several IT an core companies visit campus , including Cognizant , NICE Systems , LTIMindtree. The highest pckage offered is around 24 LPA , while the average package ranges around 4-7 LPA.

My overall campus life experience has been engaging and socially active . The college organizes annual cultural and technical festivals such as Sinhgad Karandak, usually conduted between January and March. The library is well equipped with a wide-range of academic textbooks , reference books, competitive exam materials and access to digital resources.

I chose SKNCOE because it offered a good balance of affordable fess, proximity to my location , decent placement records and a well-established campus under Sinhgad group. Ihad applied to a few engineering colleges in Pune such as SCOE , PPCOE and MITAOE . I received confirmed admission from SKNCOE and a couple of other colleges as well

The faculty-to-student rtio is around 1:15-1:20 , which allows proper interaction and doubt-solving.Most faculty members are qualified and supportive , and they are generally approachable for academic guidance and project help. Some professors explain concepts with practical examples, making subjects easier to understand , while a few rely more on traditional theory-based teaching methods. Thcourse structure follows the SPPU curriculum and includes core subjects , labs, electives and projects. Each semester : Insem (30 marks ) , Endsem (70 marks)

The nightlife around campus is calm but enjoyable in a simple way, Since the college is located in Cadgaon , the environment is mostly peaceful and student-friendly. Students usually hangout at nearby cafes, food stalls and restaurants.
