The college has good faculty and placements.
Placements: In this course (Diploma in mechanical engineering), most of the students go for Bachelors degree and Masters degree in their respective fields (B.Tech and M.Tech).
30% of students out of 100 go for placements. The packages offered in this course are about 2 LPA to 7 LPA, and the average salary is about 4 to 4.5 LPA. Top recruiting companies for this course are Bajaj, Hero Motocorp, Mahindra Tsubaki Pvt., Ltd., Varroc, Kinetic Green Energy etc. Some of the IT companies also come, like Accenture, Infosys, Cognizant, L&T Technology etc. Most of the students, 70% of students, go for higher studies and only a few students go for internships and placements, and all those students got internships in my batch from companies like Varroc, Bajaj, Mubea Internship, Infinity X, Star Engineers etc. Some of the companies will offer internship + PPOs. Top roles offered in this course are R&D, design (make 2D 3D models of given sketch/product), automation, automobile industry etc.
Infrastructure: There are good facilities in our department (science and technology department). Wi-Fi is available only in the library and computer labs, not on the whole campus. The classrooms are good, with two fans per classroom and one AC, but it doesn't work properly. Projectors and green boards are also available. There is a library on the ground floor and a reading hall on each floor for studying and completing given tasks or projects. 1-2 computer labs are available on each floor. Wi-Fi facility is available. Two bathrooms are available on each floor, one for boys and the other one for girls. Canteen facilities are available, and the quality of food is average, and the prices are reasonable. There are benches available in the canteen for students. Medical facilities are not available on our campus. A stationary shop is present on our campus where all types of stationery items are available. Hostel facilities are good on our campus, and students from out of Pune or out of state can live in the hostel. The facilities in the hostel are quite good. Sports and games are held in our college every year. There are many types of sports. The college conducts cricket, kabaddi, race, relay race, football, basketball, volleyball, drawing, quiz, etc., competitions. Many events are held here.
Faculty: The teachers are well qualified. Most of the teachers did PhDs. Most of the time, professors teach using the projector for better understanding. Per day, there are 1 or 2 laboratory sessions (practical work). In practical work, the professors teach us to perform on lathe machines, CNC machine, and VMC machines. In computer labs, we have been taught to perform on Catia and AutoCAD (make 2D sketch using AutoCAD software and convert it into 3D using Catia software). Overall, the teaching quality is very good. It helps the students to work in the industry and any manufacturer company where automobile and electronics parts are made. It also helps the students to work in design companies where we can do work on Catia software, CAD/CAM etc. Exams are quite difficult, but if we do study properly, then it will not be tough. In mechanical stream, you need to focus on diagrams more than theory part, especially on automobile engineering or fluid mechanics exams. The passing percentage is more than 40%.
Other: In my batch, there are 60 students in my division. There are 3 divisions in total, with 180 students in the mechanical department. I chose this course because I have an interest in the mechanical field since my childhood. I used to play mechanic games and also worked in my uncle's automobile parts wholesale and retail shop. I also have a basic interest in dismantling the engine of a motorbike. In the mechanical stream, there is more practical work than theory. This is one of the best things about this course. In our curriculum, there is no software like Ansys and other important software which is very useful for this field to get a job after completing Diploma and Degree course. This is the thing that I wish to add to the curriculum. Every year, the college conducts 2-3 fests, where many types of games and sports are played by students. Some of the celebrities also come for events. The campus crowd and surroundings are very good.
