library consists of more than eleven thousand books and
valuable journals. This is considered to be one of the
leading libraries in Pune in computer engineering.
The first
batch of B.E. computer engineering students graduated in
1987 from the institute with 89% result. Last year keeping
with tradition, out of 174 distinctions in Pune
University, PICT accounted for 61 and out of 282 First
