Fostering Excellence in AI & Computing - Message from Department Leadership

Dr. Anuradha Thakare

Dr. Anuradha Thakare

Head of Department, CSE (AI & ML), PCCOE

Welcome to the Department of Computer Science & Engineering (AI & ML) at Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering. Our department is proud to host 6 specialized student chapters — AiMSA, IEEE CS, IEEE CIS, GeeksforGeeks, AAAI, and INNS. Together, these student bodies provide a complete ecosystem for technical development, research publications, and national competition success.

We empower our students to go beyond traditional academic learning. Through hands-on hackathons like HackMatrix 4.0, research initiatives with IEEE CS, IEEE CIS, and AAAI, competitive coding tracks with GFG, and neural network challenges with INNS, our students gain the industry skills and ethical grounding needed to lead in the era of artificial intelligence.

Key pillars of our department:

1. Industry & Research Exposure

2. Hands-on Hackathons & Competitions

3. Ethical Leadership & Academic Excellence

Join our vibrant community of student innovators and shape the future of AI and intelligent systems.

Student Chapter Experiences

Kshitij Jadhav

Organizing HackMatrix 4.0 with a ₹75,000+ prize pool under GFG PCCOE and AiMSA gave us hands-on experience in managing large-scale 24-hour hackathons and collaborating with top AI innovators.

Sumit Sonawane

The technical workshops and competitive coding culture cultivated by GFG and IEEE at PCCOE gave me the confidence to compete nationally and win ₹2,00,000 at the GSMA Open Gateway Hackathon 2025.

Diksha Bhosale

Being part of AAAI and IEEE CS chapters opened doors to global research papers, international AI tech talks, and organizing events like SYP TECHXPUNE '25 and INSIGHTX CTF.
