Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT), Kothrud
Location:
Though not in the heart of Pune, Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT), Kothrud has pretty good accessibility. Numerous PMT buses drop you at the main road from where the college is a pleasant 800-metre walk (pleasant because the entire road has trees on both sides and thus it's never too hot, even in summers. And even if you do have to face problems travelling to MIT, it's still worth the pain.

MIT School of Management, MIT School of Business, MIT College of Pharmacy, MITCOE and many other MIT Colleges are part of the same campus as Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT). The infrastructure is top notch. Classrooms are airy, labs are excellent and well-equipped. The library is MASSIVE!
