Genba Sopanrao Moze College of Engineering, Balewadi

Location:

Genba Sopanrao Moze College of Engineering more popularly and fondly known as just "Moze College" is located close to the last bus stop of PMT in the western extreme of Pune. Although, the frequency of buses isn’t too bad, its sheer distance from the city makes Moze College a little tiring to reach. It is right behind the Mumbai Pune expressway, not far from the famous "Shri Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Balewadi.

Infrastructure:

The infrastructure is good, labs are well equipped with internet facility. Library is well equipped with books, and Wi-fi facility is available. There is a playground for cricket and football. There is a girls hostel, the rent of which is Rs.25,000 per year.

Fees:

74,750/ year

Faculty:

Students are disappointed with the teachers & some say that the professors themselves often bunk lectures. Almost all departments have senior professors, but students claim that all they love doing is give them really low term-work marks.

Attendance:

Very strict. Fines are levied if your names features in the defaulters list. If it's below 75%, you’ll be charged with a fine of about Rs. 2000/- and if it's below 40% the fine goes to an unreasonable Rs. 5000/-.

Crowd:

College has an average crowd; least interested in sports and unenthusiastic about extracurriculars. You have to wear a uniform from Monday to Thursday which you HAVE to buy from the college itself and will cost you more than 500 bucks!

Hangouts:

Poor hangouts. There is hardly anything to satisfy your needs. Hotel Sana is probably the only hotel next to the college, and even that is pretty bad.

Canteen:

The food is edible but expensive, and the canteen isn’t spacious.

Placements:

"TPO abb tak aaya nahi hai", to quote one of the students. There is as good as NO placement.
