Affordable or Expensive- A detailed review of Atharva College of Engineering

My decision to choose this course was that I didn't had any interests in any other courses like B.com, BCA, Bsc because I knew engineering would be bring something valuable in my life which I think it is doing. This course doesn't prepare you fully for real world challenges but somewhat it gives you a glance of it, Mumbai university should really revise its syllabus. Improvements I would suggests is stop making the first year same for all students on that make it seperate branch related. Keep written exams for Languages please like Python, Java. The frequency of exams is around 1 and half months, medium difficulty level

Students sit in placements from 7th semester onwards. Companies start to come from August and you will need to have atleast 7+ CGPA if you want to seat for in campus placements. Companies like Accenture, Capgemini, Wipro, Tcs are the main recruiters here and decent amount of students are placed every year. Highest package I heard in my first year was around 20 to 22 lpa I dont know whether it is true or a rumour, while average package is 4 lpa. I dont know how much students are placed every year sorry! I will be finding a job after degree, yes .No masters!

As a management quota student, my fees were similar to those of the general category students. The total fee for my first year was approximately 133926 Rs, for second year it was 60000 Rs and now for third year it is same around 60000 Rs which includes the tutuion fees, development fees, caution money, examination fees, and other compulsory charges. The tution fee alone was 112889 Rs, with additional charges for the university registration, insurance, library, cultural activities etc. For batchmates in the other categories, the fee structure was significantly lower. OBC category students paid around 50000 in their first year and simiar in the other years benefiting from government concessions their fee was more reduced in schemes like scholarships and all for SC and ST category students they received a scholarship covering around 90 - 95 % of their total fees which was around 5000 Rs in total their fees and on that 95% discount. The college provides receipts detailing the fee breakdown, ensuring tranparency.

My college is mainly famous for 2 festivals - Rhythm and Techition botth the events are well organized my committee members and staff, there is prom night and DJ nights in these festivals. Library has all the books related to students curriculum so theres no issue in book supply and other books are also there, my college has 2 libraries one on 2nd while other on 4th floor. The classrooms are not air conditioned but they have projectors in every classroom. My college supports Cricket team, Baseball team, football team and Basketball team.

I had applied for Thakur college of engineering which was the nearest to my house and also in St. Francis college of engineering. I think Thakur could have been a better option but due to my less percentile I had to go in Athrava and that too management category. The only thing I liked about my college is its aimbience and vibe it gives you a vibe of a decent yet somewhat modern college. The admission process was seamless no difficulty faced at all. This college accepts JEE mains, MHTCET exams you should have more than 85 percentile to guarantee your seat in Computer engineering branch.

The faculty-to-student ratio is around 1:65. Still they are able to handle students very well. I would like to give the name of best faculty to Mahendra Patil sir he use to teach us Database management system subject DBMS, the way he thought was very understanding, he also cracks jokes around makes everyone laugh as well. I didn't liked a Female faculty named Purvi Agarwal she has a lot of attitude and if something doesn't go the way she wants she would surely disrespect the person infront of all, please stay away from her. There are 3 exams per semester 2 unit tests and 1 main end semester exams. Unit tests are very easy while end semester exams are just nightmares.

There are 2 eating spots in my college one is the canteen while other is a cafe. My college also has a gym but only 1 month of free trial after that you need to pay fees for using it. There is no hostel in my college since Mumbai college leaving IITB doesn't have hostels. Famous hangout spot is a near by goverment garden and the very famous Infinity mall.
