Life at PICT

As a SC category student, we need to pay around 2k to 3k fees and rest fees are paid by government through MahaDBT Scholarship. We need to apply for this scholarship every year to avail its benefits. College provides all the support for this scholarship.

A beautiful college "pict "

In my college, fees are affordable for all the students and have separate fee structure according to their caste . Our college fees are not more than one lakh rupees. So it's affordable for all students. The complete cost goes over two Lakhs including hostel and mess charges . There are a few scholarships for students under ews section . Like Punjabrao Deshmukh scholarship, etc.

PICT, Pune harsh truth

For general category the fee is around 96k . I got tfws seat hence my fee is around 12k. For other categories also the fee is different and there are also scholarships provided. Students avail hostel scholarship and one called alpa-budharak scholarship.
