Every year, when the admissions for First Year Engineering are around the corner, many students and parents start the hunt for the Best Engineering College. Engineering Colleges in Pune are affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University, which makes them secure a top spot in the preference list.
Among the top colleges in Pune, PCCOE has a good reputation in terms of placements, but physically hard to find. Here is the reason why…
Pimpri Chinchwad college of Engineering has a funny location as it’s name has “Pimpri” and “Chinchwad” which are two distinct places. PCCOE’s address says Nigdi, and best way how to reach PCCOE is by the Local train whose station name is Akurdi – which is the name of a different place too.
