One of the good engineering colleges under Mumbai University

The college needs to stop faking stuff and do real meaningful actions. Since there is no ground in our campus (an off-campus ground is available) we do not get to play in our free time. The teachers need to be educated first so that they can teach as well. And most importantly internet access should be provided at least on lab computers. The only thing I love about this college is its scenic view visible from the college windows.

Entrance Exam

The Mumbai University sets the Course Curriculum, and they renew the syllabus after every 4 years. Being in the Information Technology branch, the syllabus needs to updated to the industrial standards, which it fails to do. We study 4-5 years old technology now. There are 2 unit tests every semester and a final end sem exam after that. The end sem exams are carried out at the university level and the unit test is carried out by our department.

Placements & job opportunities are going through a steady decline across all colleges of Mumbai University. Our college is no exception to this. To give you an example, the highest package giver company came with just Rs 8L/ annum. Because of this many students are applying off-campus. College does not provide internships or encourages doing an internship because doing internships affects the students' lecture attendance.

1) Zodiac: The college's biggest cultural festival. It happens every year at the end of March. It lasts for 2-3 days with various events like dancing, singing, concerts, marathon, competitive events, etc. 2) ICARUS: Its a technical fest of our college. This happens just before the Zodiac. Various tech contests and exhibitions takes place. The main attraction here is RoboWars.

It is average when compared to all the engineering colleges in Mumbai. Yearly fees are around 1.1L. It is feasible for many, but because of Freeships and Scholarships by Government of Maharashtra, people get tuition fee waiver making the course feasible for all.

There are no scholarships offered by the college as such. Government of Maharashtra offers tuition fee waiver scholarships and freeships to backward castes and economically backward community. There is an official procedure that students follow to get the scholarship.

Sports happen only during the cultural fest. The rest of the days there is no encouragement from the college. The labs in our department are totally outdated. Half the computers do not work and ones which work lag a lot. Often we use our own laptop to carry out experiments. Even being in the Information Technology department we do not have internet access in any of our labs.

Senior students were very helpful to get tips and tricks about surviving engineering. Their notes were readily available for us to refer which is a huge boon for our juniors. This is the only good thing about our college, we have a very friendly environment with our seniors and according to them, this has been passed on by their seniors.

I had appeared for the JEE-Mains entrance exam, through which the engineering admission was going to take place. After clearing the exam, I had to go through CAP rounds and in the 3rd round, I got to select the college from the remaining seats vacant in colleges from across India. I selected this college in that round.

To be very honest with this question, there are a handful of good professors in our college who teach well and know about their subject. Rest just teach from the slides and do not have knowledge or enthusiasm about the subject. I personally, like interactive learning, which I do not get in my college. There are few extreme cases of professors who teach wrong concepts with confidence, and the worst part is that you cannot argue with them, as they take it personally and it heavily affects our internal marks.
