Entrance Preview

I took admission through MHTCET. My score was 103. I got admission also on the basis of Malayalam minority. This college is one of the best college in Navi Mumbai especially for Mechanical engineering.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The course is good. It requires alot of concentration to achieve success. The stream choosen by me is mechanical engineering and it requires a great effort in order achieve succes in the same.The course curriculum is balanced with both written and oral examinations.

Internships Opportunities

They provide. But not yet taken any. Internships start for the final year students. So no idea about it.

Placement Experience

3.5

The placements in this college is average. 70% students get placed. The college is famous for Mechanical Engineering but the placements for the same is not upto the mark. This year the highest placement was of 4.5 lakhs per annum. The placements are improving every year and the placement cell of Pillai is very encouraging and supportive.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fees structure is feasible.It is 1,10000 per annum. It is feasible in comparison to other colleges. The hostel fees is high but the facilities provided is very dissappointing. The food is not up to the mark and there is no laundry facilities, so the life in hostel is hectic. The only thing good here is the friends you make.

Fees and Financial Aid

There are many scholarship facilities availed by the college. The scholarships start after the first semester. So till now no idea about the same.

Exam Structure

There are total 8 semesters, 2 in each year and also some internal exams and viva.These internal assesments also depend upon the submission of your assignments and project.The scenario is hectic due to submissions and other internal exams but it is needed in order to become a good engineer.

Admission

I took admission to this college through MHTCET and Malayalam minority.The admission was done through DTE. Everything was online this year as a result there was no complications. I got admission to my desired college and course in the first round itself.

Faculty

4.5

Supportive and good knowledge about the subject. There are senior faculties with good knowledge. Some of the faculties are not cooperative and lack in knowledge. They try hard to complete the portions on time. The best part is the faculties of Mechanical department are highly qualified and well experienced.

My perspective about my college!!

Likes

Such a huge campus and it is located not far from the city so bus and autos are always available.
Our canteens serves Misal Pav which is next level.
For a city like Amravati and a college like ours, having a tech fest is a dream but since 2022, we have been hosting a tech event called Techlons.

Dislikes

Crowd is not that amazing as most students are non-serious over here.

Placement Experience:

TCS trains us in the third year and L&T Infotech and TCS are the ones who hired students. Almost half the students were taken by these two companies with an annual salary of 6 lakhs or so. For a freshers to work in such companies is a privilege and I am glad, we get this opportunity at our college.

A Brief Theory Round Of Aissms College Of Engineering

Likes

The campus is quite big and there are proper laboratories for every subject , also the faculty is quite helpful and helps student to settle up and get along so that the teaching and doubt interaction is built up from the starting
We have metro station right outside the gate of college so the travelling is quite simple
It's also good to have a college stationary right inside the campus and with discount too!

Dislikes

The benches are small which kind off makes the students uncomfortable to sit for more than 2 hours in that space
Canteen hygiene is not maintained at all
There's no underground parking for students and lack of space for parking of two wheelers

Placement Experience:

Placements are quite good in Aissms College Of Engineering in comparison to the other one institute of Information technology. I personally have even saw seniors getting placements when they were in placement round room. And looking at all the boards the college has put up and I can definitely says that the college does get placements and companies do come

Likes

Faculty and teaching assistants are so friendly and are with great experience and wisdom.
Other than education many other activities take place like NCC, NSS, sports competitions, inter IIT competitions, etc.,
Ragging, student and gender abuse are strictly banned

Dislikes

sometimes we have to work till midnight for any tech teams, any assignments, etc., if the submission is not done in proper time. But faculty don't keep any pressure or stress on students to do certain tasks

Placement Experience:

Job placements starts from 3rd year 2 nd semester or 4th year 1st semester. Many Multi National Companies, like Amazon, Google, Sony, etc.,, come to hire students. Almost 70 % of the students get jobs. Atfer completing graduation, few people begin their startups and other businesses with the knowledge gained in the university.
