Atharva College of Engineering Mumbai, B.Tech, Electrical Engineering

Reviewed on Nov 21, 2017

Remarks

Atharva college of engineering is one of the few engineering colleges in Mumbai which provide Electrical Engineering course for BE. The campus is small but spacious. The teaching staff is also good. Most importantly, the crowd is also good. The college campus has a swimming pool, along with a cafeteria in the canteen. Atharva college was included in the list of top 100 engineering colleges in India in 2016. This college is not yet renowned but given its high ambition it will surely become one of the top engineering colleges in Mumbai shortly. Atharva college also has the Hotel Management and Film Making institute in the same campus.

Entrance Preview

I took the JEE mains exam in 2015 to get into an engineering college. I scored 60 mark which was a subpar score. I had to pursue Electrical Engineering because I was interested in this course. There are a very few Engineering colleges in Mumbai which provided this course. Being in Open category and for my marks, Atharva college was my best option in Mumbai And hence I got into this College.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The course curriculum is quite good. However, the curriculum is quite base on theoretical concepts. The practical knowledge is quite less. The curriculum has good concepts and topics. However, most of the topics are outdated. The concepts are pretty interesting.

Internships Opportunities

The college does not them provide the internship. the students have to themselves find the internships and then approach the college for reviewing the internships. However, the faculty members provide various internship sources for the students.

Placement Experience

3.5

The placement and job opportunities are quite good. However, there are not many core stream related jobs. Most of the hobs are in the IT sector. Being in Electrical profession this is quite discouraging for me. Overall the students get good job placements with decent packages.

College Events

The college celebrates a hell lot of events throughout the year. We have IEEE TECHITHON which is the Annual technical event of the college. This fest comes in the odd semester every year. Then we have the EMBER fest which is an entrepreneurship fest in the even semester. We have RHYTHM which is the main fest i.e. the art fest.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee is quite feasible in comparison to the other engineering colleges in Mumbai. The fees are according to the caste categories with Open caste having the highest fees. The lower caste categories are provided with the scholarship from the Government and therefore have low fees.

Fees and Financial Aid

The scholarship is provided to the lower caste students and in the TFWS section. This scholarship helps the students who have limited finances and helps them pursue education.

Campus Life

The campus life is quite good. The gender ratio is about 60:40.The labs are up to the mark. Atharva College is the only engineering college in Mumbai and Maharashtra which has a robot center in the college.We can learn programming and all the features of the industrial grade KUKA robot and the world famous NAO robot.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

The hostel facilities are good for the students coming from far away places to study in this college. The hostel has a good environment and cleanliness. The hostel hours are also quite strict. The food services in the hostel are also quite nice. The rooms are clean and spacious.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

The senior students are quite helpful and encourage us in the fests and enlighten us with their experience and knowledge. The crowd is one of the best and is quite helpful. The seniors are quite helpful and also provide us with books.

Exam Structure

The exam structure consists of two unit tests and one main exam along with the vivas and practical exam in a semester.The unit tests are in two months which becomes quite hectic for the students. Ample time is given to prepare for the ester exams. We also get enough days in between two papers to prepare for the exam.

Admission

I got admission in this college through the CAP round one of the Engineering college Admission processes. I was allotted this college according to my marks in 12th standard boards and the JEE exam in 2016. The admission process was quite smooth as such. We had to submit all the legal documents and mark sheets to the college and secure the admission.

Faculty

3.5

The faculty is quite good. Some of the faculty members are pursuing their Ph.D.'s. The faculty has the knowledge of the subject thoroughly and is well aware of all the concepts in the curriculum. They teach the classes quite seriously and provide useful note and question papers for us to help us prepare for the exams.

PES College of Engineering: Overview of the college

Likes

The campus of the college is vast with a natural environment
Many facilities like library, sophisticated labs, and classrooms are provided by the college
The Teachers cover each and every point of the syllabus and guide the students.

Dislikes

The syllabus is a little bit outdated, that is some points in the syllabus may seems boring and not applicable in the real world.
The Teachers should use the right techniques for teaching which makes the students more engaging in the class.
The menu of the canteen must contain some health option in a budget friendly way.

Placement Experience:

The campus placement is decent in the college as compare to other colleges of the city . many companies visited the college every year to hire the skillful engineers from the college and offer them a good amount of package. The option of the offcampus palcement is also there for the students of the other colleges.

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.

Some departments here were really great like ETC and Mechanical with a unique culture going on
AIML and AIDS being new branches here are still doing their job very well for the students

Dislikes

The Students section not really tends to help ,as i saw many financially weak students facing the problem of 1 time payment fees and their request for part payments option is always rejected
Infrastructure is decent but in summer season the water coolers are just useless there ,no cooler will give you cold water

Course Curriculum Overview:

Some courses were to the point like IOT was well designed and DSA too with java programming side by side ,still as i said AIML is new branch and needs much enhancements ,the areas where they can improve was always practicals and labs those were always taken casual as i remember
