of study) is very strong here and learning is respected. So
regardless of origins or prejudices, the majority of students
generally develop brahmanoid traits and do very well in academics.

sports as well. This makes for well rounded personalities and
corporate recruiters and head hunters usually appreciate Pune
candidates.
