Sorry sir. Dear sir, I am getting admission in following private universities in Pune for BTech CSE, can you please rank them? Pimpri Chinchwad University(PCU) DY Patil International University DES Pune University Ajeenkya DY Patil University. My father is saying go to Sanjay Ghodawat University, Kolhapur, but I don't want to go there because it is very far from any metropolitan area and will limit opportunities or extra curricular activites. I like coding, I don't like physics and chemistry.

Ans: HI D,
Since you have chosen your branch, you need to select an institution or university. Please go through their websites and compare the facilities, such as faculty, labs, and syllabus. Additionally, check if they encourage students to learn both hard and soft skills. This will help you be employable by the end of the course; otherwise, you might end up wasting your time, money, and a year. So, please consider my suggestions for your comparison.
CODING IS NOT RIGHT CAREER. AFTER COMPLETION OF CSE, FIND SOME OTHER FILED TO WORK.
