Remarks

To be honest I gave my MHT-CET exam in this college, I got to see inside, it is pretty good. Even though this was not my only way of knowing the college I looked up online for the facility of good teachers, labs and research opportunities. Also a major decision maker was that it is near my home so I don't have to take a hostel. The college has a good reputation, as I'm studying here i have realised that it is worth it.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is handled by Mumbai University, so it's all good. Academics are good as the facility of labs and support from the principal just helps a lot. Hmm about faculties, they can be rough in the beginning but are very friendly and helpful, they would help in any project or problem.

Class Size: 60Course Fees: INR 500000 per year

Placement Experience

Placements are kinda stressful but there a lot of companies that approach us and there's always an option for off campus, I more towards the idea of off campus as I can gain all the knowledge I want from the college and even if the companies that come to our college may not offer a dream job.

College Events

3.5

Campus life is fun as students come from different parts of India and states. There are many events and everyone is invited. There are a lot of Extracurricular activities too from bow ranges, gun shooting,etc.

Campus Life

The campus provides decent size classroom and has good benches. There is a sports area where students can play football, basketball, volley ball etc. WiFi is provided on some parts of every floor. Library can be better as it does not have AC. Labs are pretty good and if some equipment is not available they are willing to order it

Placement Experience:

As we are in the 1st year of our college, I won't be able to answer this accurately. But, as far as what I've heard from the alumni and seniors, the average placement stats of this college is around 15LPA. The highest package may scale up to 30LPA.

Dislikes

The cordination given by management of college, They were so rude all the time idk y

Course Curriculum Overview:

Literature gave me insights to the history and a different pov on the situations happened Literature sharpens the thought process we can have in real world scenarios which are quite unique tbh. Its just too much of theory, if could update it and make it somehow relavent to today situation, it would be fun learning it

COLLEGE REVIEW OF IBSAR BELAPUR

Likes

The good thing about this college is affordability and how quick the admission process is.
Teachers are friendly too, there is no mandatory attendance rule and the lecs are conducted three days a week for mca students which gives them the freedom to work or switch between lecs and personal things
The feedbacks of students are taken seriously and the staff is changed accordingly. Students can freely talk to faculty about the performance of teachers and quality of education.

Dislikes

There is no campus in this college which limits student activities for events or other things.since the lecs are not conducted daily or as like other colleges , very less class count is there which affects the interactivity as well.
The quality of infrastructure is not quite good as the college is there in two floors of the building only. Campus amenities are average as well. There aren't much opportunities as such in this college like industrial level or any.
If anyone wants to experience and actually college life with the whole campus experience,events , activities or other things ,this college isn't a good fit

Placement Experience:

During the admission the students are told that in semester four , just students are eligible for campus placements and some of the companies come for a placements and even the undergraduate students are placed . The name of the companies that come for the placement include Vector ,HDFC Bank etc but in admission pamplets huge company names are provided like infosys, wipro, etc. the average packages are 300000 -500000 per year. The cgpa of students should be higher than 7. I am planning for an on campus as well as off campus placements.
