Remarks

The good thing is everything is depends upon your batch, how you will perform, will build your market value, because the placement is the main thing. So for that, you have to be on your toe, then college will hell out. The college will be there always but you have to work hard, visit companies, invite them.

Course Curriculum Overview

There is a semester wise exam and on a Percentage basis. The above 70% is considered a good score. There is a scholarship for topper students also. You will have a prototype workshop in the institute. You will get 2 months of IND training. Ship visit. Swimming pool, Fire fighting training

Class Size: 40Course Fees: INR 225000 per year

Placement Experience

3.5

Shortlisted as per rank in batch. And everyone will get a fair chance for placement. There will be a test and PI for placement. Major companies are - SCI, ESSAR, SYNERGY, THOME, MSI and much more. Placement depends upon market demand so companies keep on changing.

College Events

3.5

Events are- 1. IMU day 2. Annual sports 3. Prayaan fest -Swimming competition -Tech fest - model making -DJ night - music fest 4. International paper presentation 6. Debate competition 7. You will have the chance to compete with various colleges in Mumbai

Fee Structure And Facilities

It's a central govt college. Total fees 9 lacs for 4 years.( Including all books, notebook, dress, bedsheets, flooding, lodging) You can get an education loan, the institute will help for your documentation. You can also get a scholarship. Around?3k for the semester exam. Yes college provides complete transparency

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes I have taken an education loan of 4 lacs from PNB. Few of my batchmates have taken 7-10 lacs of education loans with various banks. The college will help you with every required document for education loan. Many of us have taken advantage of state scholarship or Central govt scholarship, for that too college will help you with every document and certification.

Campus Life

3.5

Don't ask about gender ratio. It's completely desert. As you have playground, basketball ball court, Table tennis court, badminton court, swimming pool, well-equipped audi. Student diversity- from every part of the country Politics- no political union Religion- secular college

Food is the best part of this college.

Hostel Fee: INR 225000 per yearExternal Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni is the essence of the college, we have a good base of alumni and seniors too. As this college is one of the oldest marine colleges of India. Dmet is the oldest name, and Marke is flooded with Dmet graduate. Bonding with seniors is key factor because you will face them every step of your career.

Admission

Give IMU CET. Secure good rank around 500, and opt for IMU Kolkata and Mumbai for the best college and best placement. The test is based on the JEE mains syllabus. The form will be announced after Feb and keep visiting IMU official website. You will get an Education loan easily for IMU Kolkata but for IMU Mumbai will bit tough.

Faculty

3.5

You will have 2-3 lectures daily. Most faculties will be visiting. Most of them were marine backgrounds like CE, Captain and few of them will be from M.tech from IIT of PhD holder. The senior role is very important in this field, so they will be always there for you.

PES College of Engineering: Overview of the college

Likes

The campus of the college is vast with a natural environment
Many facilities like library, sophisticated labs, and classrooms are provided by the college
The Teachers cover each and every point of the syllabus and guide the students.

Dislikes

The syllabus is a little bit outdated, that is some points in the syllabus may seems boring and not applicable in the real world.
The Teachers should use the right techniques for teaching which makes the students more engaging in the class.
The menu of the canteen must contain some health option in a budget friendly way.

Placement Experience:

The campus placement is decent in the college as compare to other colleges of the city . many companies visited the college every year to hire the skillful engineers from the college and offer them a good amount of package. The option of the offcampus palcement is also there for the students of the other colleges.

Journey of passion in DPCOE

Likes

I really liked the infrastructure of the college its very nice and has good environment .
DPCOE is famous for its sports , it has massive turf where kids of 4 to 5 age has their matches
Also i like my department , as i am an automobile engineering we need most practical knowledge , this college offers a big workshop just for us an also yearly event for automobile students . Also clubs are there which has reputation of national rank

Dislikes

I kind of felt that faculty can be biased sometimes also do not care what and how we want to study .
Watchman can be little rude sometimes , also informing that their are exam coming in next week are to be informed at leat 10 days before. I have a suggestion of preparing acadamic calender of year

Course Curriculum Overview:

Soo ever since kid i was interested in bikes this interest was all for me to take this course , my father is very bike enthusiast and it came down to me , i could easily take mechanical and other engineering cause these are common courses which involves automobile , but since i wanted to follow my passion , i wanted to do specialization in automobile itself and DPCOE was offering this course with great facilities and knowledge providing us a path in this lane of career in this field. According to me curriculum prepares us quite well as they conduct workshop which are relevant to outside world where we'll be working. If there were more practical workshops for us to work on would be great cause automobile engineering is all about practicals rather than theoroticals Professor should try teaching in physical part rather than taking lectures and explaining the concept by just words

College campus, it is big, not much conjusted, good nature friendly
Freedom upto some level, no uniforms, no ID compulsion unless it is an exam
Events,every now and then there are events in college, cultural club is also too good here👍

Dislikes

Faculty is not much well qualified or well trained I would say
Hectic curriculum, boring schedules and quite unlivable
Labs and classrooms are too old, infrastructure is very old

Placement Experience:

Yes there is placement cell of STES which is no different than other tier 3 engineering colleges offering a tier 3 average package depending on who is the recruiter. Students become eligible for campus from 3rd year of their degree. Highest package is something around 55 lakhs offered to a computer engineering student,and average is just like I said for a tier 3 college 5-6 lakhs(above or below). Almost everyone gets placed in the company but some might not.

Some departments here were really great like ETC and Mechanical with a unique culture going on
AIML and AIDS being new branches here are still doing their job very well for the students

Dislikes

The Students section not really tends to help ,as i saw many financially weak students facing the problem of 1 time payment fees and their request for part payments option is always rejected
Infrastructure is decent but in summer season the water coolers are just useless there ,no cooler will give you cold water

Course Curriculum Overview:

Some courses were to the point like IOT was well designed and DSA too with java programming side by side ,still as i said AIML is new branch and needs much enhancements ,the areas where they can improve was always practicals and labs those were always taken casual as i remember

College life of a Mariner

I have completed my diploma and Then I applied for these college and got selected. Yes, I have not applied for any other colleges. This college was my first preference and got addmission here. For the addmission process first you have to give IMU CET entrance exam and score good ranking in it. After the result is declared you have to pay 10000 for the college selection process. After that some days later a list will be declared with the cadets selected for the college on the website. If you have the name you are the lucky guy. You will get a call from the college to bring the required documents plus check for the college fee. Yes your first exam fee will be only accepted through check. You have to pay 25000 extra as a caution deposit which you will get back once you have graduated from the college....Read More
