Sinhgad Institute of Technology, Lonavala

---

Location:

Although Sinhgad Institute of Technology is far from any metropolitan city (its located in Lonavala on the Mumbai-Pune expres

sway), the location is picturesque. Climate is brilliant throughout the year. Accessibility doesn't really matter as you've gotta stay in the hostel.

Infrastructure:

It's that magnificent structure that you see atop the ghats when Lonavala is nearing on your way from Mumbai to Pune or vice-versa. The infrastructure of Sinhgad Institute of Technology (SIT) is very good. Its cricket playground is well known all round Maharashtra. The college offers Wi-Fi connectivity in the whole campus and all the academic facilities are very well taken care of.

Faculty:

The students say that the principal is very nice, but complain about the other professors, who they claim do not speak any English.

Attendance:

Sinhgad Institute of Technology (SIT), Lonavala follows a very strict attendance system. Students are expected to maintain 75% attendance, and they are often detained if it falls below 60%.

Crowd:

The crowd is ‘cooperative’, very friendly, but nothing out of the world.

Hangouts:

Bushi dam is a common (and beautiful) hangout, but its also rather expensive- takes Rs. 500 by rick! Bamboo house and RK are two more hangouts. Alcohol is easily available, and another place students like hanging out is Beer Bridge.

Canteen:

There are two canteens in the campus, but ONLY the samosa is worth eating. You can also find ‘Roll Centre’ inside the campus itself.

Festivals:

Sinhgad Institute of Technology (SIT), Lonavala hosts its technical fest called Xenos in September. The Cultural festival, Surbhi, is held in January.

Placements:

Placements for E&TC, Comps & IT are quite good. However, placements for Mechanical students aren’t up to the mark. Infosys, Accenture, CapGemini, Cognizant and IBM are major recruiters.
