Campus Life

Our main college fest is hooner and evach and every month they keep different different activities and fests and the library facilities are so good that we even have a separate girl's reading room in the library

Admission

I did apply for Xavier's and I got admitted over there but I had already applied in somaiya and the faculty said I couldn't cancel the admission from Somaiya so I couldn't get into Xavier's but how overall Somaiya is the best.

Faculty

4.5

The faculty is very good they help us whenever we are struggling with anything they even help us during our studies the total faculty ratio is around 100 and the students are cooperative when someone ask for help.

SPC from a TYBA students POV

Likes

Kalamandal (like theatre club), it’s a different world and it’s magical.
December to March is the college fests time and it’s super lively and fun
Psychology, Sociology & Philosophy departments have amazing professors. They’re smart, helpful and actually care for their students

Dislikes

Except for Psyc, Socio& Philo other departments are awful specially the English department. The HOD herself speaks horrible English and doesn’t even know any books of jane Austin besides pride and prejudice.
The toilets are horrible and never clean and are barely open even. The canteens are also okayish at most.
The management and accounts department are horribly slow

Course Curriculum Overview:

It's good, it's fun and I enjoy it. It changes every sem and that's why we also get to explore more of the subjects. It also depends on the professor tho. First year is to chose 6 different subjects and explore. Then second year you get to choose one major and two minors. Major are then divided into 3 parts, the 2 minor subject are elaborated and one compulsory subject which is English, this continues for third year. There are 2-3 additional subjects that change every sem too like PE, EVS, etc.

Remarks:

For a person who into music production this is the best course and College but any other music field consider other options. The administration is too poor and are harsh on the students but the teaching faculty is supportive.
