between VIT Pune (Vishwakarma Institute of Technology) and SIT Pune (Symbiosis Institute of Technology), the choice depends mainly on your branch and budget:

for CSE specifically — SIT Pune has a slight edge in brand due to the Symbiosis group name, better coding culture, and slightly better placement numbers. MIT Pune is actually the better option among private Pune colleges for CSE, but between just these two, SIT Pune > VIT Pune for software careers.

however, the bigger picture that most answers miss:

if PICT Pune is an option for you — PICT > both SIT and VIT Pune by a wide margin for CS (much lower fees, excellent placements)
if MIT Pune (MAEER's MIT) is an option — MIT Pune is generally considered above both SIT and VIT Pune in overall reputation
VIT Pune (Vishwakarma) recently got university status and is now also called Vishwakarma University — same institution, growing

fees comparison: SIT Pune ~Rs.2-2.5L/year, VIT Pune ~Rs.1.5-2L/year. SIT's slightly higher fees come with the Symbiosis brand. if you can afford it and are choosing between just these two for CSE — go SIT Pune. if budget is tight and you want a decent Pune college, VIT Pune is not bad at all.

Lives in Pune, Maharashtra, India

There are several parameters to compare the two colleges. Some of these are-

Brand- Symbiosis is a brand in India. Any college under Symbiosis International University automatically gets the tag of a good college. VIT Pune is also a well known brand which was established much before SIT. VIT Pune was established in 1983 while SIT came into existence in 2008.

Placements- VIT Pune has a better placement scenario. As far as SIT is concerned, CS/IT and ENTC have an average placement record. On the other hand, Mechanical and Civil have a low placement rate. But the fact is that Mechanical is facing placement shortage at present.

Crowd- The SIT campus has a diverse crowd. It caters to students from all over India, and NRIs. VIT is mainly preferred by students of Maharashtra and its neighboring states.

Infrastructure- Both the colleges have good classrooms and laboratories.

Faculty- I don’t know much about VIT, but the faculty of SIT is highly qualified.

Campus- The SIT campus is located far from the city, but it is huge and has a scenic view. The campus is beautiful and has all the sports facilities.

Both the colleges are equally good. You may choose any of them on the basis of their location, crowd and other factors.
