Deccan Gymkhana and Shivaji Nagar form the historic heart of Pune's education scene — Fergusson College, BMCC, Garware College and the College of Engineering Pune (COEP) are all within or near this belt, alongside the busy FC Road and JM Road stretches. It's one of the densest student catchments in the city, and a short, direct ride down Karve Road to our Kothrud centre.
For Deccan's enormous student population — including many from non-IT and general degree streams — our beginner-friendly Python, data-science and full-stack tracks are the most common entry into a tech career. The proximity means classroom attendance is genuinely easy, so students get the in-person, project-based experience our courses are built around.

Why Deccan & Shivaji Nagar students choose Archer Infotech
Deccan's college belt is one of our biggest student feeders precisely because Kothrud is so close. Students can attend classroom batches around their lectures, drop in for project and doubt-clearing sessions, and still use online sessions when they're busy with exams.
For the area's many arts, commerce and science graduates, our Python and data-science tracks are a proven bridge into IT — and being a short ride away makes it easy to attend the hands-on sessions and placement-prep workshops in person.
Which batch format suits a Deccan & Shivaji Nagar commute?
All four formats teach the same syllabus with the same trainers. The only thing that differs is what your journey from Deccan & Shivaji Nagar does to your attendance over a three-to-six month course — which is the part most people get wrong when they enrol. Here is the honest comparison.
| Batch format | How it works from Deccan & Shivaji Nagar |
|---|---|
| Weekday classroom — morning | Good if your lectures are afternoon-heavy. The Karve Road run out of Deccan is quick before 09:00. |
| Weekday classroom — evening | The most-taken batch from this belt — it slots straight after college hours with no gap to fill. |
| Weekend classroom | Best for students juggling exams; you keep weekdays free for coursework without losing the classroom. |
| Live online | Useful during exam season, when attendance at a fixed hour is the thing that breaks first. |
