Need Advice: Switching from Civil Engineering to IT – Which offline institute in Pune is best?

Question

Hey everyone,

I need some honest advice. I’m from a civil engineering background but planning to switch to the IT field. I’ve got some basic knowledge of coding (a bit of Java and Python), and I’m confident I can learn more if I get proper guidance and hands-on training.

I’m based in Pune and looking for offline institutes that offer practical learning and good placement support. After doing some research, I’ve shortlisted a few options:

1. Skills IT Academy (Pune) – especially under Santosh Dhulgand Sir
2. Java by Kiran
3. Lotus IT Classes

I’m a bit confused about which one to pick since I want something that’s beginner-friendly and career-focused and helps me build real projects instead of just theory.

If anyone here has attended any of these institutes or made a switch from non-IT to IT, I’d really appreciate your input.

How was the teaching and support?

Did they actually help you get a job or internship?

And what learning path would you recommend for someone coming from a non-IT background?

Thanks in advance for any guidance. 🙏
