Admission to engineering colleges in Maharashtra, including UMIT, is through the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) based on the Common Entrance Test (CET) marks. The CET features multiple-choice questions on physics, chemistry, and mathematics per the Maharashtra State Board curriculum. The course is structured into 8 semesters of 6 months each, with grading comprising 25% practical and viva and 75% written exams. UMIT, a non-autonomous girls' college, offers comparatively affordable fees, making it suitable for middle-class families.
The general tuition fee is about 1.5 lakh INR, a rise from the previous 1.17 lakh INR. Scholarships are available to students in need, yet some still struggle with the remaining costs even after receiving significant aid. The college does not impose extra charges for late fees. Key placement opportunities exist, especially in IT fields, with about 70-75% of students securing jobs annually. Prestigious companies such as Barclays, Microsoft, and Accenture are among the 25 companies participating in recruitment, with the highest salary package reaching 19 lakh INR and the average around 5 LPA.
Placement activities start in the 6th semester. For Electronics and Communications students, placement options are limited, albeit with internships from firms like Oracle and Deutsche Bank. Campus recruitment offers stipends, such as 12,000 INR per month from Wipro Technologies Ltd. However, the college faces criticism regarding unavailable amenities like Wi-Fi and gym facilities, despite charging for them, and the staff service quality has been questioned. The college is located in Santacruz, which involves moderate travel and hostel expenses for students.
