I'm currently working and interested in pursuing a mechanical engineering degree, but I cannot attend regular lectures due to my job. Could you recommend colleges in Pune or Mumbai with flexible attendance policies but has regular fulltime course
Ans: Manish, Several accredited institutions offer part-time or distance B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering tailored for working professionals, combining rigorous academics with flexible learning. Mangalayatan University’s WILP Pune program is UGC-AICTE approved, delivered online over three years by PhD-qualified faculty, featuring virtual CAD/CAM labs, industry-aligned projects and a dedicated e-mentorship portal for 75–85% placement consistency. International Institute of Management and Engineering (Mira Road, Mumbai) provides a four-year correspondence B.E., NBA-aligned curriculum, practical assignments and regional study centers enabling weekend contact sessions alongside internships. Academy of Higher Education (Borivali East, Mumbai) offers a four-year part-time B.Tech with minimal on-site visits, science-and-engineering foundation labs and faculty consultations by appointment, backed by distance-education accreditation and 70–80% alumni placement rates. UGC-AICTE-approved Shree Balaji University (Pune) also delivers modular coursework with virtual lab simulators, optional weekend workshops and industrial dissertation support. Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University offers a flexible six-year correspondence B.Tech, emphasizing self-paced learning, regional contact classes and strong industry ties for project placements.
For optimal balance of flexibility, accreditation and industry integration, the recommendation is to enroll in Mangalayatan University’s WILP Pune B.Tech Mechanical Engineering for its robust online labs and mentorship platform.
