Cummins College of Engineering for Women

Cummins College of Engineering for Women in Pune, established in 1991 by the Maharshi Karve Stree Shikshan Samstha with support from the Cummins engineering company, was India's first engineering college exclusively for women — a genuinely pioneering institution rather than a marketing claim. That founding purpose still defines it: a women-only technical campus run by a trust with more than a century of history in women's education, located at Karvenagar inside one of India's strongest engineering job markets. It holds an A+ grade from NAAC, and its computer science and electronics branches draw the heaviest demand, with graduates feeding steadily into Pune's IT and manufacturing employers. Admission runs through Maharashtra's engineering counselling. It suits women students, and families, seeking a serious engineering education in a metro with the particular environment of an all-women campus.
