Admission
I got admission through MAH-CET exam. Firstly, I applied for engineering at nearby CAP center. There are 3 CAP rounds through which we can take admission. I filled the engineering form in which I filled the names of various engineering colleges in Maharashtra. I allotted the seat in PCCOE in 1st CAP round. If one is not satisfied with allotted college, he/she can applied for 2nd CAP round by choosing Float option. Further one can apply for 3rd CAP round. While 4th CAP round is for government colleges only. After I confirmed to take admission in PCCOE , I have to go to PCCOE. I gave one aptitude exam & filled the allotment form there. Aptitude exam is only for evaluation of students.
Faculty
Faculties in PCCOE are well qualified however if I have to rate them out of 5 , I will rate as 3.5. Most of the faculties in college have completed their PhDs or either Persuing their PhDs. Some teachers have published their research paper. They ensure quality education along with practical knowledge. Facilities also guide about current educational as well as industrial trends. Faculties regularly upload the necessary study material on the website through which students can download them easily using college Wi-Fi. Study material given by them is very useful during theory exams. However faculties are strict about attendance of students in regular class as well as in laboratory.
