Remarks

The college management is really good. You won't find any political influence out here. This college is really good for people who are looking for sports or cultural background. Sports are rally promoted well when it comes to cricket,football,handball,bas

Entrance Preview

I took CET exam,scored 110 marks. I did opt for this college because it had good faculty,good sports and finally a great campus. The admission process is simple, the management people are friendly.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is based on that is set by mumbai university. The first year syllabus is common for all engineering streams consisting of subjects like maths,physics, chemistry,engineering drawing,mechanics,basic electronics,communication etc. From the second year the actual syllabus would start related to electronics and telecommunication. Applied mathematics would be a subject from semester I to semester VI.

Internships Opportunities

The college does not offer any internships (atleast till year 2012-2013)It is only the campus placements that start from semester VII. You can apply for internships from your own somewhere through reference of your own.

Placement Experience

3.5

The placements and job opportunities are good. On an average 70%- 0% students get a job in campus recruitment. The companies that visit the campus are Infosys, Asian Paints, TCS, etc. The packages offered are between 2.5 Lacs to 5 Lacs annualy.

College Events

There are many events celebrated in college on inter and intra level. Pillai's is the top college in Navi Mumbai for events and one of the best in Mumbai. The recent Alegria festival has become a sensation leaving behind many colleges. Famous celebrities,DJ's, etc have visited over the years. There are tech festivals that happen in the college.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee structure till 2013 was around 95,000 per year and now it is some where around 1,15,000 per year. Compared to other colleges it is expensive,but the college offers you some good things to take back.

Fees and Financial Aid

The college does offer a few scholarships. Loan facilities are also offered. I personally did not apply for any of these,so won't comment much on that.

Campus Life

The campus life is the best you would experience. The college festivals are the best you will experience in mumbai. You would find many sports and people from all the levels. Overall its the best you can find. There is no air in the college when it comes to race,religion,sex,politics etc.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

The college hostel,mess and canteens are very good. The quality standards are very good. The Hostel rooms are quiet comfortable and are located near the college. The charges for hostel range from 4000 to 6000 per month.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

The alumni network and senior students are really helpful and they would guide you through everything you want to know. But make sure you find the right kind of company and guidance.

Exam Structure

The exam structure is designed as per mumbai university standards. There are preliminary exams between semesters. Internal tests are conducted once,twice a month to check the knowledge gap. The labs are conducted once a week. This is not at all hectic giv

Faculty

The faculty of this college is very good and friendly. They are strict when it comes to attendance and assignments. They make sure that knowledge is shared evenly.

The reality check

Likes

The college professors are very particular about attendence and they will always keep there eye on your attendance and according to them attending is very important.
The college infrastructure is very good and there is vast space for students to chill and study library is also very spacious.
The teachers are always eager to solve our doubts and interact with us , the want the more and more students should approach them ask there doubts and discuss the syllabus etc.

Dislikes

I didn't like that sometimes over priority is given to the attendance I think a student can study well at his or her own sometimes only regularly attending lectures can't make you score more self study is important
The college don't have big ground earlier there used to be a big ground but it has gone for the construction work so, we only has a turf and a small ground.
The approach towards the teaching should be changed slightly and more practical based learning should be included.

Placement Experience:

The campus placement start from seventh semester and from third semester only students are enrolled in TPO Training and Placement Organisation where they train students withe various technical skills to acquire a good job. Various famous companies visit our college. Highest pakacge is of eight lakh per annum by Nice solutions. Percentage of student getting place on campus is less. After degree I will do a job.

There were placements from beginning of 4th year. So, it was quite good for me.

Dislikes

I don't liked the college campus. It's under construction. Hope will become better some day.
No events , no tech fests. No excitement
Good companies offering higher packages not visited college.

Placement Experience:

Companies started sending their placements form to college groups from starting of the 7th semester. For particular branches, particular companies visited. Many companies send their placement forms this year. But each selected a max of 2-3 candidates only. In the strength of 76, 15 got placed on campus this year. Selection rates or placements criteria were too low.

Focusing on student's attendence rather than focusing on students concepts. College is not focusing in development of students only paperwork is done. No conceptul teaching nor practical. By doing this stuff we can get a btech degree but not the knowledge a btech student should have.
