DPCOE is of top notch! The prime feature of this college is its location. It is located in the heart of Pune (Kharadi). The college aims to build and mould students into quality engineers.The campus is very well maintained and has a very beautiful and quiet ambiance which is perfect for students.Very big campus and lush green environment.The crowd here is good too. So many extracurricular activities are organised here. Academics is great too. I wouldn't say much, just go for DPCOE . MAKE ENGINEERING COUNT.
