MIT-WPU Affiliated Colleges

this question is comparing three private Pune colleges, so let me give you the honest pecking order:

MIT Pune (MIT College of Engineering) > SIT Pune (Symbiosis) > VIT Pune (Vishwakarma)

if you're asking whether to join SIT Pune even if MIT Pune is available — no, generally choose MIT Pune. it's an older, more established institution with a stronger alumni base in Pune industry. MIT Pune has been around since 1983 and has deep ties with Pune's manufacturing and IT sectors.

BUT — before finalizing, check one more thing: is PICT Pune (Pune Institute of Computer Technology) on your list? because if it is, PICT > all three of these for CS/IT. PICT has government-aided fees (almost free), very strong placements, and is one of Pune's best CS colleges.

• PICT CSE: Rs.15,000–20,000/year fees, excellent CS placements
• MIT Pune CSE: ~Rs.1.5L/year, good placements, established brand
• SIT Pune CSE: ~Rs.2L/year, Symbiosis brand, newer campus
• VIT Pune: decent, lower than SIT in reputation

if you already have MIT Pune in hand and the question is about SIT or VIT Pune — go MIT Pune. simpler answer.

Management quota fees for MIT Pune and VIT Pune BTech CSE — these are among the most-searched admission questions in Maharashtra, and the numbers change each year. Here's the current picture.

MIT Pune (Maharashtra Institute of Technology, Kothrud):

• Management quota tuition: approximately ?2.2-2.5 lakhs/year (vs. state merit quota ~?1.5-1.8L/year).
• Unofficial donation/capitation (informal reports): ?5-10 lakhs for CSE management quota — NOT officially acknowledged or receipted.
• Total 4-year cost (official fees only): ~?9-11 lakhs tuition + ?4-6L hostel = ~?15-17L.

VIT Pune (Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Bibwewadi):

• Management quota tuition: approximately ?1.8-2.2 lakhs/year (slightly lower than MIT Pune).
• Similar informal reports of unofficial donations for CSE — unverifiable officially.
• Total 4-year: ~?8-10 lakhs tuition + hostel.

How to avoid capitation entirely:

• Apply through DTE Maharashtra's CAP (Centralized Admission Process). Even management quota seats are increasingly being filled via CAP in recent years.
• JEE Main score + 12th board marks both considered in CAP — a decent JEE score can get you these colleges without any unofficial payment.

Both colleges are good (NAAC A+), but for pure placement: MIT Pune has slightly stronger brand in Pune's engineering ecosystem. VIT Pune is comparable. Verify latest fees at dte.maharashtra.gov.in.

Choosing between colleges requires evaluating multiple factors aligned with your career goals and personal preferences.

Key comparison points:

• Placement Records: Compare average packages, top recruiters, and placement percentages for your branch.
• Academic Reputation: Check NIRF rankings, NBA accreditation, and faculty credentials.
• Infrastructure: Evaluate labs, libraries, hostels, and sports facilities.
• Location Advantage: Proximity to IT hubs and internship opportunities matter.
• Alumni Network: Strong alumni can provide mentorship and career guidance.

Visit campuses, talk to current students, and review official placement reports. Your decision should balance academic quality, career prospects, and personal comfort.

Students generally get eligible to placement from 6th semester. Some top Companies for cse placemnt which comes are Zs associates,Morgan stanley,tcs,wipro and barclays. Highest package was around 54lpa Average is around 7 lpa There is around 80%median placements.Some students opt for masters abroad. My plan is though to prepare for placement currently but lets see what happens maybe opting for masters could be a plan B.

The faculty to student ratio is 40:2 .Some faculties are really good and supportive while some are very student favour. Exams are quite easy . Some students are detained due to attendance criteria. Otherwise the exam is quite easy to clear .

College has various clubs which are divided in three broad categories. One is technical club , other is non tech clubs and labour clubs . Technical clubs include google developer clubs , AWS club , Computer society cosmos . Non tech clubs include dance clubs and labour clubs like accelerators and vegpod hyperloop

The hostel was very expensive. And we were only served meals 2 times a day. And Lunch only on weekend and public holidays. The food quality was very bad. Frequent cockroaches, same repetitive menu, stale chapati,etc. They used to serve pav bhaji, misal pav, idli sauce in the breakfast. and in the name of fastfood, there was only chinese and chole bhature. the hot water system was very bad as well. it was on first come first serve basis. And the hostel was 7-8kms away from the college on highway. There were limited number of buses allocated every hour.and if we reach late because of these buses, the faculties never acknowledged.
