PICT Reviews & Ratings 2026 – Authentic Student Feedback

Admission: Process at PICT felt systematic throughout. Online application and document verification were handled smoothly, counselling was straightforward, and staff assistance helped with quick provisional admission.

Academic: About PICT, many of our teachers have really high degrees and they also do a lot of research, which means they teach us with deep knowledge. Since PICT is an autonomous college now, I can't really say much about the course, exams, or other study stuff. But for programming, we are being taught C language. To be honest, C is quite old now and not used much in industries, so I feel the course content is pretty outdated.

Placement: About placements at PICT, they are really good. For the 2022-2023 batch, almost 93.64% students got placed, meaning 707 out of 755 students got job offers. The average salary package for that year was around 10.11 lakhs per annum. Many students even got better offers, with the median salary being 12 LPA. The highest package someone received was a massive 91 LPA.

Campus: Our hostel rooms are usually shared by two students. Every room has all the needed furniture, like beds, wardrobes, and study tables. Many rooms come with their own attached washrooms, which is really convenient for students. The yearly hostel fee is around 1,25,000 if you want an attached washroom room. For rooms with common washrooms, it's about 1,15,000 annually. Good thing is, these fees already cover the mess charges.

Admission: Entry into PICT after the CAP rounds felt organised. Document verification was managed well, staff guided throughout, and final registration was hassle-free due to clear communication about dates and fee payment.

Academic: I don't like about this place is how the teachers act. They are often rude to us. Even in practical exams, you can do really well and your viva can be good, but they still only give you a B grade. It feels like they don't care about our lives outside college much; like if we have important interviews or other stuff, assignments are always the most important thing for them.

Placement: If you're able to, I would suggest trying for colleges like VJTI, CUMMINS, or COEP first. Here, placements are pretty good, but there's also a lot of competition for them. Our college also has these 'dream criteria' rules, and sometimes they pick students just based on their CGPA score. You might also want to look into WCE Sangli, because that college doesn't have any of these extra criteria.

Campus: Our college has a really big ground where we can play lots of different sports. They also have indoor sports like carrom and table tennis which is nice. But the campus itself is kind of small. And honestly, only the girls hostel is bearable. The mess food, oh god, it's totally trash.

Admission: Admission experience at PICT stood out as organised. From CAP counselling to final verification, everything moved smoothly, staff handled registration queries well, and timely merit list updates were reassuring.

Academic: Our teachers here are really professional, they know a lot and have good experience. Even though the syllabus feels a bit old style, the college environment kinda makes up for it. They also take their own exams before the university ones, which really helps us get ready in advance.

Placement: When it comes to placements, our college is super well-known. Last year, students from CSE got really good packages, like 16-17 LPA. The average package for the whole college was about 12 LPA. So, you'll see much better placement chances if you are studying Computer Science or IT. For ENTC students, the placements are not as great as these other branches.

Campus: The college has good infrastructure. We have well-equipped labs with all the stuff needed for studies. The whole campus also gets 24/7 Wi-Fi access, which is super helpful for students. Plus, there is a separate library where we can go to sit, study, and even find charging points for our phones or laptops.

Admission: Beginning at PICT was smoother than expected. Online form filling was easy, counselling after the merit list was organised, staff handled verification efficiently, and orientation gave a positive start.

Academic: From my experience, the teachers here are really helpful and super knowledgeable. They are also very well-qualified to teach us all the stuff. The course curriculum is pretty good too, it's relevant and makes students ready for jobs. When it comes to semester exams, they are not always same, some are easy, some are medium, and some are difficult. You need 35% to pass these exams.

Placement: In our college, placements are quite strong. For our passing-out batch, 75 percent of students got jobs, and the salaries were really good. The top package was 50 LPA, while the lowest was around 5 LPA. On average, students were getting 10 to 13 LPA. Big companies like PhonePe, Mastercard, Infosys, and Adobe came for hiring.

Campus: The college buildings are quite decent, and what's cool is that most departments have their own separate building, except for two departments that share one. We also get Wi-Fi here, which is really useful. Inside the labs, everything is good quality, and they have nice benches for us. And if you're thinking about the hostel, every student gets a LAN connection there, plus the food is pretty good.

Admission: Admission at PICT felt well planned from the start. The counselling process was structured clearly, document verification and fee registration steps were explained properly, and staff support made the entire journey smooth.

Academic: PICT has a really good and relevant course curriculum since it became autonomous last year. This means we get the latest and very practical syllabus here. Our teachers are super qualified in their subjects and labs, and they also help us a lot with studies and other stuff. The teaching quality is just like what you'd find in good universities. Semester exams can be quite tough, but the college also helps us a lot to prepare for campus interviews and other competitions. You need to score 35% to pass.

Placement: For the ENTC department, placements are quite strong. Around 90-95% of students get placed every year, so out of roughly 340 students, about 300 find jobs. The highest salary package we've seen goes up to 25 LPA, and the average package is usually between 7.5 LPA to 8 LPA. Even the lowest salary, often from TCS, is around 3.5 LPA. Many big companies like BajajFinsev, TCS, Infosys, Artista, Cadence, eQ Technology, Amdocs, and Mastercard come for recruitment. When it comes to paid internships, it's not that common though, with only about 25 to 30 students from 340 getting them. The top roles offered to us are generally QA engineer, software developer, and data analyst.

Campus: What I've seen, the college infrastructure isn't that great and the campus area is pretty small. But, our labs and classrooms are really well-equipped with everything needed, and we have a good library too. The canteen food is decent, and there's always a doctor on campus for any help. For sports, there's a gym, indoor games, a basketball court, and even a cricket pitch. The college also hosts and participates in lots of sports and cultural events and competitions. Plus, the whole campus has Wi-Fi for students, which is super useful.

Admission: Registration at PICT moved smoothly. Online registration was simple, document verification was efficient, counselling instructions were clear, and staff guidance helped till final enrolment.

Academic: The teaching quality at PICT is super good. Our teachers are really well-qualified, helpful, and they know a lot of stuff, so for studies, there are no problems at all. The course syllabus is good, it's relevant. But for industry stuff, it feels a bit old. Still, they are trying to make it better and update it, which is good. Exams each semester are a bit hard, like on the tougher side. But the pass percentage is actually high, maybe around 90% or something like that. They are super strict during exams, checking your roll number and other details very carefully before you can even sit for the exam.

Placement: Talking about placements in 2023, they were really good, almost 91% of students got jobs. The highest package went up to nearly 47 LPA, and the average was about 11.5 LPA. We had top companies like PhonePe, Barclays, and Deutsche Bank coming for recruitment, plus many other tech companies. I heard PhonePe gave a 41 LPA package to an electronics student, but I am not totally sure if it's confirmed. Common job roles students get are data science engineer, web developer, robotics through AI, and electronic engineer.

Campus: Our college has good infrastructure. The classrooms are well-kept, and the library along with the reading hall has a lot of space. The main focus here is on studies and getting industrial knowledge. So, the grounds and places to hang out are a little small. But this is okay because they offer many big opportunities. For living, the hostel is okay, and the mess food is also good.

Admission: Process at PICT followed a clear structure. Merit list announcements were timely, counselling and verification were supported well by staff, and although registration was a bit slow, communication kept things smooth.

Academic: You have to attend college for the attendance rules, that's just how it is. But honestly, the classes are so bad, they'll give you a headache and you learn nothing from them. Even so, you still need to show up because of attendance. This college seriously doesn't care about student's mental health. They put so much pressure on our minds, and we are just helpless, can't do anything about it.

Placement: Our college placements are pretty good, more than 90% of students actually get placed. The average salary package is usually around 8 LPA. Someone even got a really high package of 33-34 LPA from PhonePe, but only like 2-3 students get that lucky. You should know that big companies like Adobe, Google, Microsoft, or Amazon never come for on-campus placements here. So, if anyone tells you those companies come to PICT, they are totally lying to you.

Campus: For our college's infrastructure, I really wanted to give zero stars, but since that's not possible, I had to pick 1 star. The campus is just too small, only 4 acres. Plus, it's located in a very crowded and noisy area, which is a big problem. There isn't even one place in the whole college where all students can meet up and sit together, or even just stand. It's that packed.

Admission: Onboarding at PICT felt clear and manageable. Online registration was simple, counselling schedules were communicated well, document verification went smoothly, and orientation helped new students settle in.

Academic: Our teachers are mostly PhD holders and really good at teaching. They use PPTs, animations, and even live demos to explain things which makes learning easy. Regular lectures and labs happen all the time, and attendance is a must, especially in the first year, they check it very strictly. For batches till 2023, we followed the SPPU 2019 syllabus, which was okay but not super useful for industry jobs. You had to learn stuff like programming, database, and web development on your own, even though the college offers some extra paid courses for these skills. Exams for the SPPU pattern were pretty easy, with a 30-mark internal and a 70-mark final. You could pass by studying just one night before because most questions came from previous years. Now, from 2024, our college is autonomous and has made its own new syllabus which might be more industry-ready, and exams could be harder, focusing more on understanding concepts.

Placement: In my college, PICT Electronics and Telecommunication really gives good opportunities for placements. Around 70 to 80 percent of students from my course usually get placed. You can find both software and core hardware jobs here. The highest package for ENTC students was 33 LPA from PhonePe, which is amazing. The average package is about 12.5 LPA. Even if there's a recession, the average is still around 9 LPA, and the lowest package is 4 LPA. Many big companies come for recruitment, like PhonePe, Barclays, Siemens, MasterCard, UBS, HSBC, SAP, Cadence, Toshiba, NICE, Accenture, Amdocs, Bajaj Finserv, DragonFly, Godrej & Boyce, and Concore. Internships are also very good; companies such as Barclays, Siemens, Mastercard, and B.M.C. offer campus internships to third-year students. Students often get roles like software developer, web developer, or junior developer.

Campus: College campus has Wi-Fi everywhere, which is super helpful. The classrooms are big and nice, each one has a projector and a computer ready to use. In the labs, we have new computers, and some even come with the latest i7 processors, which is great for our work. All the equipment and kits for practicals in the labs are good quality and easy to handle. For books, our library is really up-to-date and feels fresh, having all the books we need for our courses. You can take books home for 15 days using your ID card and even renew them if you need more time. Just above the library, there's a big reading hall that can fit around 300-400 students; it also has Wi-Fi and five common PCs if you need one. We have hostels for both girls and boys, but there aren't many rooms available. The girls' hostel is quite good, but the boys' hostel is in an older building. Both hostels are very strict about coming and going times and discipline, which is good because there's no ragging or bad behaviour from seniors. There's a canteen and a mess on campus. Mess food is okay, and it's compulsory for students staying in the hostel. The canteen isn't very modern, so don't expect fancy Chinese or pizza there, but sometimes mess students get special meals like Chinese or Pav Bhaji. If you're not in the mess, you can still buy a thali for 80-100 rupees. We also have a medical facility right in the hostel, and Pune's Bharti Hospital is very close by. Sports facilities are a bit limited, with a small field that has basketball, volleyball courts, and a cricket net, plus a separate table tennis court. Lastly, there's an art circle room with musical instruments, lights, and other art stuff available for students.

Admission: Selection at PICT felt smooth from start to finish. Online systems worked well, staff guided clearly during counselling, seat allotment and fee payment details were timely, and the process stayed organised.

Academic: Our teachers are really well qualified and educated, with many holding PhDs in their subjects. They are super cooperative and always there for students. The subjects we study, like OS, CNS, DBMS, OOPS, and ML, make us totally ready for placements. Exams are also quite easy for anyone who gets into our college, that's why we have a 100% pass percentage.

Placement: Around 310 students from our batch got placed so far, and I am from the CS branch, where 150 students got jobs. The highest salary package was 33 LPA, offered by Phonepe and Palo Alto. Companies like Barclays, ZS, and Siemens gave average packages between 12 LPA and 20 LPA. But the lowest package was 2.5 LPA from Cognizant. These same companies also give internships; about 30% of students got them in their third year. We got roles like SE, QA, ST, GET, and all.

Campus: In my experience here, our college has a really good hostel with well-furnished rooms for students. They also give us a nice library that has a proper study area and free Wi-Fi for daily use. Plus, the canteen here is good, offering lots of different food options. All this focus on students and studies really helps, and that's why our placements are booming.

Admission: Joining PICT turned out to be a smooth experience. Merit list checking was simple, counselling steps were clear, document verification took some time but staff remained supportive, and final registration along with orientation helped a lot.

Academic: Our college teachers are mostly highly qualified and they know a lot about their subjects. But to be honest, the teaching quality is just okay. There are some lecturers who dont talk loud enough, which is a problem when you have around 78 students in class. Also, the semester exams feel a bit tough for me, maybe because I got admission through the CIWGC quota.

Placement: Our college has really good placements and internship opportunities for all the students here. Top companies like Adobe, Amazon, and Mastercard usually come for hiring. For the past three to four years, the placement percentage has been over 90%, which is quite impressive. The highest salary package someone got was around 48 LPA, while the average salary package usually stays between 10 LPA and 12 LPA.

Campus: So, talking about college, the campus is really small, just about 5 acres, which is crazy when you think about over 4000 students studying here. Because of this, the infrastructure is just average, nothing special. For sports, especially cricket and football which most students wanna play, there are hardly any good facilities. But on the brighter side, if you're in the boys hostel, the rooms on the 5th floor are actually really good with new furniture. The one thing that's totally bad though is the mess food, it's seriously the worst.
