Good Placement, Friendly Ecosystem, Various Cultural Festivals and a door to opportunities

The admission process was quite tedious as it is affiliated with Mumbai University thus there are series of procedures that need to be followed for admission. Admission was done based on marks obtained in the 12th standard and the NATA exam which is conducted every year and all over India. One has to go through a lot of paper works and verifications for several days to get admission. The staff members are quite friendly as they help in reviewing our paper and lets us know what all things are required. They work fast but the procedures are hectic.

The choice, of course, was my personal preference, but my friends have suggested this college which is quite well. The best thing in this field is the opportunity and the creativity part. The course curriculum can be said relevant for the Architecture point of view as people are getting a successful position in this field also and most of the knowledge comes once the student enters the field and one can not rely on college only. Faculties are helpful sometimes, few of them are college alumni and almost everyone has a masters degree and have completed their graduation and post graduation from well reputed colleges all over India. Exams are conducted twice a year based on semester patterns.

The internship starts in the 8th Semester. Students have to work harder to make their CVs and Portfolios outstanding. Again the students are the one who has to approach to the fims for the internships just like the job placements. Talking about the roles then students get the opportunity to work in the core design team and even works like drafting etc are also provided. It is the student who has to make better choices. Although the University has stated the average salary for a paid internship most of the fims does not practice these architecture ethics.

From semester 8 student becomes eligible it is a period when the internships began. Students are getting placed in very good firms throughout the country and even a few of them are getting positions in foreign countries. Around 70-75% are getting hired every year but mostly based on their performance throughout the year. I'm not sure whether the companies come to college and pick students but yes students have options and opportunities to approach the firm and they certainly get placed. Even faculties are also good helpful and give the opportunity to join their firm itself.

The fees structure is quite ok if we compare it with other colleges with the same discipline i.e., around 1 Lakh to 1.5 Lakh a year so one can not complain about the fees structure. There is a scholarship which is provided by the college to help students who are good at studies and comes under non-creamy layer or whose parents annual income is less than 8 Lakh. ECBC is one of the scholarships which my friend has got benefit from in which either the tuition fees is waived off or just the part of it. The college did not help students during pandemics like COVID which is why its rate below is getting affected.

College's social life is good. Numerous events take place regularly. Alegria is one of the most awaited festivals of college. Various celebrities come to the college and give wonderful performances. Infrastructure is average neither bad nor very good. All the mandatory requirements are provided which are listed in University Guidelines for Colleges. There are Wifi connections in the college that may be sponsored by Airtel (not sure), but it certainly does not work properly. There is a canteen which is good along with its prices. Basketball courts, workshops and labs are also there. The library is quite useful.
