Prahladrai Dalmia Lions College, Malad, Mumbai review

It is a good and well known college. The faculty is really good and so is the management.

The college course is as laid down by the University. It is a good course where I learnt a lot. The subjects I learnt stood me in good stead in the jobs I held later in life. For example, when I worked with a chartered accountant, my accounting subject helped me understand the job.

I did apply for a summer job with a chartered accountant, and they had displayed the job vacancy on their notice board. So I did a few months auditing for the chartered accountant at Dena Bank and a few of this other clients.

We had a rose day which we celebrated by giving roses to those we liked. Then there was a a gymkahana which used to have tournaments. The events here are not very big compared to other mainline colleges. Although this is a good college and has its own set of festivals.

The fee structure when I joined was decent. It wasn't expensive at all. I don't remember the exact fee at the moment since it has been a long time since college. I had to submit a cheque I believe. No additional charges. There is transparency in the fee breakdown

No, I did not opt for the same. Really, this is annoying. When I have not opted for a scholarship why do I still have to fill in 200 characters saying I didn't? Please review your form so that it is user friendly.

Campus life was great. There were people from all strata and it was fun interacting with everyone. As far as gender ratio is concerned, it was a majority of boys, and maybe 30 per cent girls. There were sports and competitions in extracurricular activities. These were good.

No, I did not opt for hostel, as I did not need it. I used to travel daily to college by bus or sometimes would even cycle from home to college. I don't think our college has hostel rooms. In case you are looking for rentals, these are available at decent rates.

I am not aware of an alumni network, and didn't really interact with senior students, although I am pretty sure they would have been cooperative if I needed something.

I applied to the college for admission when the college announced dates for college admission. They had a cut off of 60 per cent marks for admission, and my percentage was above the cutoff. So after I filled in the form and submitted it, I was selected for admission.

The faculty was quite good. In fact, some of the professors and teachers were really good. Of course you have a mixed bag in some cases, but overall, we had some really good professors. No complaints. I think it is a good college, though I have no idea how it is at present.
