RA Podar College of Commerce and Economics Mumbai, B.COM

Reviewed on Nov 20, 2015

Entrance Preview

After passing my SSC exams in March 2000, I secured 86.00% and for the purpose of continuing further studies in Commerce stream, I entered R.A.Podar College, Matunga. It was and still considered to be one of the best colleges for pursuing commerce studies. In final year of B.Com, I scored 76.00% which helped me in my further studies, doing M.Com. from Mumbai University and CWA from ICWA Institute.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course pursued here was excellent along with expertise professors for each subject.It is best for Economics and Accounting Studies. Passing out from Podar College especially in 11th, 13th and 14th is very difficult. As college papers are real challenging.

Internships Opportunities

For commerce stream, there is no such internships are available and so it was not available in Podar College, to. As there is no such internships available there is no question of stipend.

Placement Experience

College works tirelessly to help students to exploit their potential to the fullest during their College years. The Placement Cell of the college is truly a forum 'of the students, by the students and for the students'.

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes, college offers good scholarships for those who have scored good scores in final examination. Also, college provides free education for handicapped students.

Campus Life

College does not have its big campus. But, it is very famous for "Podar ka Katta" and students usually found on Katta. Students council, speakers' academy, hikers' club and many such groups are very active and keep on arranging some or the other extra-curricular activities for students.

My special 3 years which I spend was golden to me

Likes

Most important thing I like about my college is they are like the whole college is so creative.
There are many different batches or mat department but when it comes to fest or festivals they comes together to celebrate it
Talking about placement, the placement cell is soo good that I'll say every colleges should have this level of college cell as they invited, big companies such as Deloitte, hdfc bank,KPMG

Dislikes

The point which I dislike about my college is they should increase campus
Some of the teachers really need to behave like when they talk to students they don't know the manners
Basically the watchman is not good at all I personally feel that they really need to change their watchman as their is many girls in my college so at least one or two lady watchmen should college hire for their safety

Course Curriculum Overview:

In my college they provide us a presentation concept in which they teach us about how to face the real world and the remove the fear of speaking to world .they try to make every student more confident in any manner. Basically my department is soo good that they teach us alot of real world how to speak,how to look,how to handle everything in professional manner

Pillai college inside out

Likes

Teachers are well qualified and experienced
The curriculum is suitable for students who are doing professional courses like CA CS ACCA etc.
There is always a scope for starting a side hustle in this college. You will find many associations and clubs

Dislikes

The examination results are always unexpected. Correction of papers and result declaration is unsatisfactory as marks are not given properly.
The extra facilities provided in college seems to be just for name sake because there is very limited time to access the facilities.
The schedule of the college is dynamic and there is no concrete timetable. Teachers complete their syllabus in last moment

Course is relative to Mumbai University curriculum. College takes intiative in making the student confident as it includes practicing presentation skills and builds communication skills simultaneously.
