Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University Pune, Pune

I have a friend who completed his engineering program from BVDU, Pune back in 2018. Here is a brief overview of the college based on his experience at the institute. 

• Campus- The campus is beautiful. Before it became deemed to be a university it used to be among the best colleges under PU. 
• College life- Academic-wise, the practical portion is generally neglected. BVDU follows the PU submission pattern, so you'll be compelled to finish your assignments before the deadline. 
• Crowd- My friend mentioned that due to the crowd, BVDU always stood superior to the IITs in Pune because here you would come across people who belong to diverse backgrounds and mindsets. This diversification shapes your personality. 
• Faculty- It is pretty average. But for someone who carries a thirst to learn, they would not be disappointed. The HOD and professors are no doubt excellent. But the biggest drawback is that they don’t put in 100% effort. 
• Placements- In case you're someone with excellent coding skills, the companies that show up may give you a chance, Students from ECE, IT, CS has decent placement record. You can try to work on your communication skills, build your LinkedIn network and contribute your work in the final year. The average salary received by students was 7 LPA while the highest package was 54 LPA.

All in all, it may not be the best college in Pune, but you'd come across several people from different backgrounds and the faculty quality is also good. You can definitely consider it as an option. 

Both KIIT and Bharati Vidyapeeth is considered as the best colleges to pursue Computer Science due to the excellent consistency it has obtained with the placement rate and academics. The NIRF Ranking of Bharati Vidyapeeth is 38th, on the other hand, KIIT ranked at 44th.
