r/SPIT_Mumbai

I'm a FY CE student, nearing my ESEs. For the most part, I have only done DSA and CP in my first year, that too not that seriously (~800 rating on CF). I got a decent SGPA in the first semester (9) and hoping a similar SGPA will pan out this semester.

I have seen a lot of people talk about web development, AI/ML etc. but I have no idea about these fields and nor do I have any idea on how to start them. But one thing is for sure: I have nothing significant to put on my resume.

Our college sure sends out a lot of emails and even whatsapp messages about internship opportunities but I don't know if I should pursue it. (Most of them straight up seem like a scam!).

So long story short, I need guidance from the seniors. What the hell should I do in vacation.

Start web development? Complete DSA? Do that CS50 course? I will surely continue CP, try to get 1200 rank in CF but I want to do more. Please help me (and a lot of other guidance - less FY students).

Also a lot of colleges provide internships from the second year itself, especially for girls. But I doubt our college has a similar situation.

HIII!

I am currently looking for private colleges in Mumbai (Pune is ok too) and wanted to know current reviews for SPIT Mumbai (Sardar Patel Institute of Technology).
Please share experience on:

• Placements (especially for AI/ML and CS) – average packages, top companies, support for non-CS branches in tech roles, etc.
• Internship opportunities – are they easy to get? Supportive faculty? off campus internship support(since I want to do intern in UI/UX but if not I am open to normal tech too )
• Campus life – fests, clubs(only normal clubs or designing clubs too), student culture, crowd, hostel (if any)?
• Academic pressure – how’s the workload, attendance rules, strictness?
• Is it worth it compared to other options like VIT, KJSCE, SIT, TCET, DY Patil(Akurdi)
• Any cons I should be aware of (management issues, admin delays, outdated curriculum, etc.)?

Would really appreciate any insights🙏
Feel free to be brutally honest
Thanks in advance!

I gave my MHTCET exam and am expecting to join this college. I wanted to ask if there is any specific boards related criteria for placements here??

I have got 97.8% in my SSC boards and 68.5% in my HSC boards overall (60.33% PCM aggregate). Will my 12th marks create any problem for me during internships and placements or in any negative way during my BTech.
