Santosh Pandey's Review On Konkan Gyanpeeth College Of Engineering - [KGCE], Karjat

College was in initial days and management was trying to build credible college though infrastructure and faculty were very modest and were not upto the mark. Over the year it has improved.

No entrance exam was required when I joined college. I got Merit seat based on PCM score. There was no interview process. Seats were chosen allowed based in PCM score and choice of student.

Course curriculum was as per Mumbai University. Course was four year with 8 semester . Every year had 2 semester and student need to clear all semester for completion of course. Elective were offered only in 8th semester where student need to chose based on availability or offering based on college.

No internship was offered by college. The students need to find a place to identify study and complete there projects. In fact many places there were no stipend though company used to give food and pick and drop facility.

Placement were near to nil. Students got job based on there hard work. Now many of students are doing good and have been successful.

Yearly sports and cultural programs were celebrated. Top performer in sports competition and cultural events use to be felicitated. Yearly alumini contact program use to be conducted

Fee was decided by government and for Merit seat it was rs 4000 per anuum and for pay seat it was Rs 32000. Exam and other fees were extra. It was quite manageable considering today's scenario.

There was no scholarship and loan facility was available. Many students of college including me were from very modest families and sometimes had to work part time for fee arrangement.

Since college is at outskirts of Mumbai the campus life was pretty average when compared to Mumbai college. Extra curricular activity also very limited and did not had any mentionable quotiant.

Hostel and mess was very poor in the beginning but improved over the years. Very limited accommodation was available in hostel. Students used to stay as Pg which was more affordable.

Alumini from the college are doing pretty good after initial struggle. Many students have climbed not only organizationally but also financially. Though alumini network management done by college till 2010 was pretty average. Students are having there own contacts and not through college alumini platform.

Examx structure was combination of written and oral(Viva). Written exams were held at each semester and Viva on yearly basis. Project was given in final year Maximum. Two Atkt were allowed for next year admission.

When I had done my engineering the faculty were pretty average and had very little teaching experience except few. The orarory and communication skills were also very average. The connect and interpersonal relationships with students was pretty bad.
