It is true that Pune is an IT hub and IIIT Pune is growing. But don’t choose the institute based only on these factors. Listed below are the facts about IIIT Pune, which you should know before choosing the institute. 

• IIIT has a good brand name just because a top institute like COEP is the mentor, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are doing a good job. 
• If it is the brand name that you want, go ahead and join but if you want more than that which is Proper education, extracurricular activities, exposure, and above average college life, it is not the place.
• It is away from the city and there is not much transportation.
• The exposure given to the students is not up to the mark and the restrictions for the girls are especially high. 

Don’t be swayed by the attractive location and a good brand-name. Ask yourself, will these factors add anything to your resume? Factor in all the points discussed above and make a wise choice.
