Sophia College for Women Mumbai, B.Sc, Hospitality And Hotel Management

Reviewed on Sep 24, 2016

Remarks

Well everything about our college is nothing but good and I can say this with my head held up high that this college has been one of the best decision of my life.

Entrance Preview

I did take JEE for IHM, but even though I scored under the 1300 mark I realized joining Sophia was more of a better choice as I had lesser crowd and the faculty gave everyone the attention required, thus the one on one relationship being spot on.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

This course like I said is spot on, there are extra curricular activities which help us build our weaknesses and help us achieve the impossible. The books are given by the faculty and there is not some gibberish matter but what is necessary to understand and grow.

Internships Opportunities

Our college does provide internships in the second year for 4.5 months. We get quiet the number of 5 star hotels like taj, Hyatt, oberois, etc coming to the college for interviews and since the stipend is not controlled by the college the hotels provide it.

Placement Experience

4.5

If I could really summaries this in the most informal way I would say it is off the hook. The number of companies coming for campus interviews for a bare amount of 60 students is amazing.

College Events

Since we have a hospitality section I shall tell you about our events. We have two events that take place in a year. In the initial part of the year we conduct an even called the theme dinner where as the name suggests we organize a dinner with a particular theme and follow it. Next event being the exhibition dinner which is the biggest event in our department when a budget of 25 lac is given and we use that to make a huge even possible . We cook over 100 buffet dishes and this too has a theme . (Both of these events are marked by an external examiner ).

Fee Structure And Facilities

I would say quiet feasible. We pay around 95,000 to a 1,00,000 and with the services provided I would say that it is amazing and they do not shy out on its costs. We pay this for each year and are provided with 3 class room uniforms and trousers, 2 chef coats, a suit, an uniform and also a tool kit which has all the required tools needed in the kitchen.

Fees and Financial Aid

Our college does provide students who need financial aid where these students pay a bare minimum and also all of their financial needs in college are looked after.

Campus Life

4.5

Since only the hospitality department is coed, there are a majority of girls. The extra curricular activities are great as there are many sports such as basketball Football dance events store setups and crazy shows that are quiet crowd oriented.

Hostel Facilities

Well I don't live in the hostel but I can say that the food and the canteen is one of the best things in college. It is highly affordable for all the students and it's has a wide variety of food items to select from and the best part is that we have two canteens.

External Expense: Rs.4000 - Rs.7000

Alumni/Alumna

Well the seniors of our college were quiet influential and with their future standing only makes the fact that the juniors future quiet joyful and achievable.

Exam Structure

Exams are quiet fairly spaced out. We have enough time to study and the exam timetable is made such that it doesn't really stress us out at all and plus not to mention the revision that takes place before the start of the exams is much in detail which does help us excel in our exams.

Faculty

Since each year has a total of only 60 students, I would say that the faculty is very approachable. They make the whole feeling of family in college seem appropriate. Each of our faculty members have had experiences in the hotel industry so they can actually give us their life lessons in what to do and what not to do in the hotel.

Likes

The staff and faculty members are very supportive and good in nature.
Friendly student environment. Never heard of any ragging incident taken place.
They conduct Events, workshops, and different activities regularly and neatly.

Dislikes

Canteen food is limited and quality is average
Limited Campus placement opportunities and less industry experience
Lab equipment and resources needs to be improved,

Placement Experience:

Campus placement are limited in the college. A few companies visit during the final year, and students usually becomes eligible fromo the last semester. The packages offered are generally modest, mostly for entry-level roles. Only a small percentage of students get placed thorugh campus drives, while many prefer to apply off-campus for better opportunities. The college provides basic placement support such as info about job openings and guidance, but students need to build their own skills and prepare independently. After completing the degree, students prefer to pursue higher studied, professional courses, or entry-level IT jobs.

The campus itself is huge and beautiful tbh.
The Events or Fest Days like it was crazy like ganesh utsav, Holi , Etc etc.
The exam envoirment was strict but only if we had exams at foundation college otherwise it was not that good if we have exams in same department

Dislikes

The faculty. like they dont even know the subject core or anything from the subject
Food and canteen services. i had worst experinces about the food quality from sandip university.
Campus was Huge but not safe. sometimes hyena comes sometimes cheetah sneak in our campus. at night it looks like haunted college tbh.

Course Curriculum Overview:

like i was sure that i want a course that will give me experince about AIML with subjects like 3D design + Coding + Envoirmental studeis and all. and the course from the sandip actually have all these subjects in a single course thats why i choose this course. curriculam was good it was updated on time. the course helps me to land a internship with goverment cause i learn the basics of AI from this course. the ares of improvements should be the faculty members like they are horrible sometimes they dont even make the notes for the subjects they ask students to make notes and shared with other students. even one of the faculty member shared a playlist form youtube for a specific subject and ask us to take notes from it and prepare for exam not a single leccture he takes at that time. the frequency of the exam is also not that good cause the want us to prepare for the final semster exam which is of 6 months in just 3 months with all the paper works , projects , assignments etc etc.

There is no ragging of any kind in the college. Due to the large number of security forces, bodyguards, and bouncers, there is complete security and privacy in the college.So girls don't have any fear in college, everything is safe.
The faculty speaks in unison with everyone. If someone does not understand in English, they are also explained in their mother tongue, so that no child faces any inconvenience while learning.
In college, not only education but also a lot of attention is paid to culture. Which is very necessary for current students and I have also participated in many new cultural activities.

Dislikes

The college follows the time rule but sometimes there is no understanding about a child or his late arrival. He is stopped at the gate, no matter how far you have come.That there is no one available at the gate to understand the person concerned
The college is completely technical and only blackboards are used during lectures and no projectors of any kind are used. Projectors are used only during presentations and that too at very minimal times.
The highest fee in the college is for MBA and smart classrooms are provided only to them, which is tantamount to partiality to the rest of the students.This makes those people realize that the faculty is poor.

Placement Experience:

After taking admission in the college, the placement drive is started for the student immediately from the second semester. All the information about which is sent to the class wise group and if the student is eligible, you can apply immediately after seeing your experience. The experience is very beautiful. You learn new things. You also understand how the interview round is conducted and what the eligibility is. Most of the companies that come to the college include renowned companies like Microsoft, Infosys, TCS, Deollite, etc., which hire students. The biggest package of Rs 7 crore per NM has been given so far from Sandeep University in the entire Nashik district.Which is a matter of great pride. Sandeep University is the only college where the largest job fair seminar in Maharashtra is attended. In which students from all over Maharashtra come and give live interviews to companies that have come to the college, give their region and announce hiring on the spot.Therefore, this college provides the greatest opportunity for students to meet all the renowned companies under one roof in one place. During the interview, the student's critical thinking skills and his/her inclination are shown rather than CGP and marks to determine whether he/she is eligible or not. In my experience, the college provides such strong education that at least four students are placed in companies every week. I am currently completing my graduation and will be starting my career immediately after that.

I like the infrastructure of the college, the campus area, the availability of canteen services. Everything is great from student perspective. It also has a seperate study room and a library which can be very helpful to many students.
The staff is pretty supportive but can be a handful at times. Other than that it's understandable. The security services are good and it's very much good overall
Many activities are commenced by the college and there's a variety of different stuff like cultural activites, nss clubs, NCC club. Etc They also have many events and seminars that can help students in many ways. Sports events are there too.

Dislikes

At times, the faculty fails at providing support to students and end up adding pressure usually during exam times
The college has uniforms with not enough variety of colours and at times it gets confusing to many people while looking for students from a specific department.

Placement Experience:

Not sure but I've heard a bit that students are eligible for campus placement since the 5th or 6th semester. If one has enough skills, then they'll be able to get a job of a huge package even while being a fresher. The college offers placements but you'll only get placed if you prove yourself to be better than everyone else in the room.

My First impression at VU

Likes

All clear paperwork for admission, no hassle of domicile or and other extra documents and direct admission.
Options to choose between subjects as they are not gonna force any thing on you and you could select subjects from different streams also as like I've selected business etiquette from commerce faculty.
The library is well furnished and equipped. In my free time I just sit there and complete my assignment or read some magazines.

Dislikes

Some classrooms lack finishing and somewhere the paint is peeling of.
Some of the guards are arrogant, some in parking lot and in buliding entry gate.

Placement Experience:

I think 5th sem is where students start getting placements or internships. I don't know much about the placements as it's my first year and my colleges started just a month ago. My plans aren't straight forward as I come from a business background I can't predict what would I be doing but I want to have a career in operating system development .

The Campus Story : the lands of horror.

Likes

They give non-typical college feel where you don’t have to think about anyone as a stranger and can talk openly but within some limits and moderation.
Their courses are out of the norm which are fundamentally created around sports and can make a career in that specific field.

Dislikes

Their management is just the same as any other college as normal procedures just take too much time.
Strict rules to be followed by the university guidelines.
Not to expect any good events to be hosted by them

Placement Experience:

My college gives campus placement placement opportunities typically after 4th semester, which is the 2nd half of the 2nd year. As my college has a partnership with IBM so the standards of campus placement go right up as the placement depends on the curriculum performance of the student so can't really say much for this. If saying as a stalemate, getting a placement is basically confirmed if the student maintains his/her CGPA of 6-7, which shows the consistent of the student in their field.

Very very honest review I wish I was given :_)

In Mumbai, Sophia at least has a bit of greenery and space. It has a central lawn and a nice environment. I chose this college for the name it holds and its alumni. I was also happy with the course i was granted here. I did apply to two other colleges but did not get the subjects i wanted. To get admission in Sophia, you have to register in the Mumbai University site first and then in the Sophia College For Women official site. After that, all notices will be sent to the registered email. The merit list will also be mailed. There are 3 merit lists, and they come out with gaps of around 1 to 2 weeks. The first list usually consists of previous alumni of the college who have done their JC there, those who have scored well in their 12th boards and the ones under Christian reservations. The second list consists of the ones coming after the ones who scored well for their 12th boards in sequence, and those looking to avail hostel seatings in the college. The remaining are in the third list. After this, an amount will be needed to be paid as adimission fees to secure your admission to the college....Read More
