Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering & Research (PCCOE&R) was established in 2014 under the aegis of Pimpri Chinchwad Education Trust (PCET). Presently the Institute offers NBA accredited UG Programmes in four disciplines viz. Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, E&TC Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and also offers Information Technology. PCCOE&R is affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU), Pune and is approved by A.I.C.T.E., New Delhi, Govt. of Maharashtra, D.T.E, Mumbai. Recently the Institute has been accredited with A++ grade by NAAC in the very first cycle of accreditation.
Right from its inception, PCCOER has adopted Outcome Based Education (OBE) and Student-centric approach. We work on a Four-Pillar Philosophy, the four pillars of our Institute being;
- Academic Excellence,
- Research & Innovation,
- Professional Competence and
- Social Commitment.
Institute has experienced, dedicated and highly qualified faculty (29 PhD holders and 44 pursuing PhD), state-of-art infrastructure and an environment conducive to learning, research and innovation, which has culminated into PCCOE&R being among top Five Institutions in SPPU results. In a very short span from its commencement, PCCOER has produced 9 University Rankers.
We strongly focus on research, innovation, product development, publication, patent and copyright filing, incubation and entrepreneurship. PCCOE&R is one of the pioneers in adopting Project Based Learning (PBL). In research, several milestones have been achieved by PCCOE&R within the first five years itself. World Records of India has awarded PCCOE&R a Certificate of Recognition for filing Maximum Number of Copyright Applications in a single day on 16th February 2018 and also for 38 Lady Faculties filing patents together on a single day on 17th December 2019. Principal, faculty members and even non-teaching staff members have thought innovatively and filed patents. Research and Intellectual Property (IP) are just second nature to PCCOER.
PCET and PCCOE&R have become synonyms for the best placements in the last few years. Several activities like aptitude training, GD, guidance of technical persons and HR from reputed industries, communication and soft skills enhancement training, mock interview sessions etc. are conducted for the placement of students. The tremendous efforts taken by faculty and T&P cell have resulted into many quality placements and even several International placements.
Various activities are conducted for the overall development of students in PCCOE&R. Several value-added and Honor Courses with options for Major/Minor have been introduced in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of things (IoT), Robotics, etc. Students undergo many co-curricular and extra-curricular activities like NSS camps, Unnat Bharat Abhiyaan, social and environmental cause events, International Yoga Day Celebration, Sports, Cultural Events, Induction Programmes, Farewell Programmes, Art workshops, Quizzes, etc. Institute and each Department have their cultural and technical magazines, to which students contribute enthusiastically. Each Department has its own Students' Association through which several programmes are organized every semester. Care is taken to inculcate National pride and ethics. Every day, the academic programme begins strictly with the National Anthem followed by a short Yoga session to enhance concentration. We strongly believe that ancient traditions and modern technology are the two wheels on which the chariot of an Engineering aspirant leaps towards success!
