Shalakha Punekar's Review on MIT-WPU - World Peace University, Pune
Placements and Internships
- I think internship opportunities offered to my program from Maharashtra Institute of Technology was limited, only those who had contacts in the industry or references could make it to a summer/winter internship.
- Placement cell is quite active and many companies came to campus for recruitment like Mahindra & Mahindra, atlas Copco, Halliburton, Shangdong, mu sigma, cognizant, JSW etc.
- Average salary figures are around Rs. 2 to 2.5 lakhs/annum.
- But a very few were placed in these big giants. Out of a batch of 200 students I think only 50 are placed (off and on campus included), i.e just 25% are placed.
- The alumni network is huge.
College Infrastructure and Hostel Facilities
- No transport facility is available at Maharashtra Institute of Technology but the infrastructure is well maintained and developed.
- Labs, libraries, classrooms all well maintained.
Academics and Faculty
- The time table of my mechanical engineering department was well planned. It was never a hectic full tight back to back lectures schedule.
- In Maharashtra Institute of Technology some professors were extremely intelligent and had an in-depth knowledge of the subject, they were good at guiding us in career decisions too.
- The electives offered were completely future-oriented industry relevant subjects and faculty was also available to teach those subjects.
- Lectures were not held regularly that I think is the main drawback and it should be made a bit strict in terms of lecture attendance.
- Tests and assignments should be given more weight in viva.
Fees and Scholarships
- I had been admitted to Maharashtra Institute of Technology through MHT CET exam.
- My tuition fee was paid by the government, I needed to pay only the development fees and university exam fees.
- I was given scholarship by MH government for four years.
Clubs and Associations
- MIT was very supportive in extracurricular activities. It had a recreational hall and a gym inside the campus in which facilities to play carrom, table tennis, and other indoor games were provided.
- Also, there's a huge playground for outdoor games inside the campus only.
- MIT holds a national level sports event known as SUMMIT every September of the year.
- Additionally, college annual social gathering also takes place every year during early weeks of January.
- My college also organizes the Indian Student Parliament every year and National level technical event TEXEPHYR.
