If you are planning on pursuin Computer Science then choosing PICT will be better than VIT. It offers better placement opportunities. According to the recent placement highlights the average and highest CTC offered by PICT is 7.75 LPA and 91 LPA respectively.

Don’t choose VIT, just because it is autonomous. However, it does offer flexible academics and less number of lectures. If you get a backlog, you can clear it within one month.

Which is better, PICT Pune or IIIT Kota?

Shalini Kunwar

17 Jul 21

Among the above two institutes, IIIT Kota is a definite choice, which is without doubt surpassing PICT Pune by all means of judgment. The points below give a brief overview of both the institutes that will support the choice with a lot of valid reasons.

IIIT Kota is an institute of national importance, whereas PICT Pune is a private engineering college in Maharashtra that most people are not aware of.
IIIT Kota has a larger perception of the development of its students. It even offers foreign internship opportunities and has tie-ups with several industries.
IIIT Kota has a very good coding culture and offers excellent placements in top-tier companies across the world. There is no management quota for admission in IIIT Kota.
Coming to PICT Pune, the institute has no ranking and recognition. It is highly attendance-centric and has no hostel for boarding. Even the campus of PICT Pune is just 5 acres in area, with no facilities for activities other than studies on campus.
PICT Pune has no valid tie-ups with companies and does not allow students to go for internships due to attendance issues. There are no modern facilities on the campus.
The syllabus followed by PICT is very old and primitive. It even allows management quota.
Considering the average placement records of the two institutes, CSE at IIIT Kota offers around 10 LPA CTC. For PICT Pune, the average CTC offered is around 7 LPA.

It is obvious that IIIT Kota is a clear winner among the two. But, there are fake reviews from consultants over the internet supporting these institutes, which students should avoid looking after.
