Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University M.Tech Review By Kaushal Kumar

When one studies in the North, the two cities Colleges that one keeps hearing about are Pune, and Bangalore. The reason why people say that is something that I will explain in my review because all I know is that I made a wise decision to come to Pune. The job opportunities, kind of Colleges, and kind of content that is being taught here is amazing because I know I shouldn't be saying this but North Indian Colleges need to up their standard to match Colleges of Pune. I went through ample choices before finally joining Bharati Vidyapeeth. I already exhausted a lot of my parents' savings in doing B. Tech and Bharati Vidyapeeth's fees are such that anyone can afford. Bharati Vidyapeeth looks like a unit which is fairly united because most decisions taken at the top level are collective decisions. The appearance of the University was that guys around you always looked relaxed and in turn, it relaxes your nerves too. The story for the B.-Tech students was tough though, as I always saw them with shoulders being dropped down and everybody was chasing one or the other to get through. We were struck with Covid even before the second semester was completed, but things never jolted as online classes and sessions were as good as offline sessions.

Academics at Bharati Vidyapeeth is like a difficult person in the dressing room. The reason is that academics is very demanding here. If not demanding, but the faculties and management needs a lot of things from the students here as they push us for things. They back us and need the difference because they want to make a difference as Bharati Vidyapeeth faces stiff competition from Colleges like MIT, COEP, VIT, and SITs, there are two ways at Bharati Vidyapeeth, either you can react to demands that are put forward by saying no we can't do, or the tougher way of seeing things that ok, the management needs us to do well, so that the best crowd turns up here. Covid made matters worse for academics, but since its Bharati Vidyapeeth, they made the best use of the technology in teaching us all the required things.

The faculties here said it loud and clear that we put our hands up and will take care of the academics like no one else. They did it because I don't know about the IITs and NITs, but I know Bharati Vidyapeeth and the faculties here have done a tremendous job. They are always like, you guys can do a bit more than this, so never push yourself to the limit because even if you do, they will always have a bit more for you. I will tell you what the faculties of Bharati Vidyapeeth gave us. They have made us the front ventures because presentations in classes were done more by students than them. It was unfortunate that we could see them only on zoom classes, for the most part, because Covid ensured that our 3rd and initial part of the 4th semester were done online.

If one says Covid hasn't affected placements, it would be wrong because we were supposed to get placed during the beginning of the 4th semester, but because of Covid, it couldn't happen. The College, though, took a leaf out from the books of many foreign Universities who organized online interviews, and we were assured of jobs once we had a personal interview in person. It took almost eight months after passing out for that to happen, but it happened. I couldn't meet many of my classmates, and Covid took a lot of tolls on relationships too, or else would have shared the placement percentage and other figures, too.

One big boys hostel is what the campus had in terms of a boys hostel. The hostel was kind of filthy and had to arrange for accommodation outside the campus, but Pune has a lot of flats and PGs in almost all the areas so that can never be an area of concern. Also, it was only 9 months that I have been at the campus as for the most part, we stayed at home due to Covid.

Bharati Vidyapeeth campus is vast and offers many things. I mean like multiple libraries, multiple canteens, and multiple stores for daily needs. The differentiator is different because everything was normal, but the Bharati Vidyapeeth campus had all those normal things humongous.

The only thing that I missed there was a chance to watch the annual fest 'XTASY Live'. It was due to happen in the first week of April, but sadly the Covid never let that happen, and even in 2021, it couldn't happen, and for all the more reasons, I couldn't enjoy campus life at all. I was quite happy with the faculties and the facilities at the campus but before I could lay my hands on the things I would have loved to; things went south, and we all had to leave the beautiful campus and return home.
