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.
if you already have MIT Pune in hand and the question is about SIT or VIT Pune — go MIT Pune. simpler answer.
In my opinion, Symbiosis Institute of Technology Pune is better than Manipal University Jaipur and its performance and ranking over the past few years are a testament to the same
In all, Symbiosis Institute of Technology is a better choice than MIT.
between VIT Pune (Vishwakarma Institute of Technology) and SIT Pune (Symbiosis Institute of Technology), the choice depends mainly on your branch and budget:
for CSE specifically — SIT Pune has a slight edge in brand due to the Symbiosis group name, better coding culture, and slightly better placement numbers. MIT Pune is actually the better option among private Pune colleges for CSE, but between just these two, SIT Pune > VIT Pune for software careers.
however, the bigger picture that most answers miss:
fees comparison: SIT Pune ~Rs.2-2.5L/year, VIT Pune ~Rs.1.5-2L/year. SIT's slightly higher fees come with the Symbiosis brand. if you can afford it and are choosing between just these two for CSE — go SIT Pune. if budget is tight and you want a decent Pune college, VIT Pune is not bad at all.
Choosing between colleges requires evaluating multiple factors aligned with your career goals and personal preferences.
Key comparison points:
Visit campuses, talk to current students, and review official placement reports. Your decision should balance academic quality, career prospects, and personal comfort.

If you want to live a joyful life, it takes a lot of effort to do it here. If you want to research and think college would support you, then that won’t happen. You won’t get any sort of support from the college. But Symbiosis will give you enough industrial exposure.
For Computer Science, NMIMS Mumbai is a better option in terms of placements, location, and exposure. The institute follows an industry-relevant and updated curriculum. The CSE labs are well-equipped with the latest technologies. There are many workshops, student bodies, and professional chapters that you can take part in.
NMIMS placements are good for CSE. Around 100% of students from the branch get placed. The average CTC for the branch is around INR 6-7 LPA.
81 percentile in JEE Main = rough rank around 1,40,000–1,60,000. SIT Pune (Symbiosis Institute of Technology) is a private autonomous college in Pune that accepts JEE Main scores, and at this rank you'd likely get in — but it's worth thinking through whether it's the right move.
SIT Pune is a decent private engineering college. CSE is the most sought-after branch there, placements average around Rs.6–8 LPA. fees are around Rs.2–2.5L/year which is reasonable for a private college in Pune.
the bigger question at 81 percentile is — what else are you comparing SIT to?
don't only go by JEE ranks — apply to state counseling too because at 81 percentile your state quota options could be surprisingly good depending on which state you're from.
