Shivani Sahu's Review On Vasantdada Patil Pratishtan's College Of Engineering & Visual Arts, Mumbai

I took IIT JEE exam in 2014 in which I managed to score 73 marks. I got 85% in my boards. I wanted to opt for computer course as I had computer subject in my 11th and 12th class and was comfortable with the subject. I went for this college as travelling would be less and I would get more time to study at home.

I chose computer as my course. Though in the first year all departments are mixed and everyone has the same subjects. First semester gonna be little tough 'cause your new to all these. Mechanics and BEE are the subjects you gotta pay more attention to. Second semester will not be that tough though students find difficulty in the subjects ED and SPA. You can clear the rest subjects with some efforts.

As I'm just in second year and I've not been provided with any internship yet. But you can approach the faculty anytime with any such query. However I've heard from many of my seniors about the internship. But I've no knowledge about it in details.

Being one of the old institutions, this college has quite a good record of placement. Eligible students are offered placements at some of the best companies like TCS,Essar, Polaris, HCL, LG, Sahara. This year many students got placed around 70%. Salaries offered is quite decent. Some got a package of around 2.5Lakhs while some even got 5Lakh package. Average salary offered is 3-3.5Lakh. If you are a bright student be sure about your bright future. If you are not and have no idea about engineering and unfortunately if you don't get placed by any company, don't blame the college for it.

Tantra is the technical event celebrated. Many students take part in it some as organisers some as alumni some as participant. FESA is another event celebrated where the first year students take in charge. Fresher's party is also given to FE students by the SE students. Dance music talent show food DJ night frehers party is all about that. The annual event of the college is FUSION which celebrated on a grand level.

Well as usual its very much feasible for the caste people. OBC category pay 50% of what open category pays. SC and ST people hardly pay 10k and even get scholarship over it. General category pays around 1Lakh for a year though the fee structure is different in different year. But for such average infrastructure its totally not worth 1Lakh.

The college has very good scholarship scheme. This is one of the reasons to join the college. If the student scores more than 8 pointer 10% of is cutoff from the total fees similarly more than 9 pointer will get 50% off and 9.5 above will get 100% scholarship. Also there's scholarship for minority category and people belonging to EBC (Economically Backward Class) category.

Seniors are very friendly and helpful. You can easily get along with them. I got to work with my seniors during a college festival and have made many friends during that time. You can also ask them for opinion about any matter.

Its never chilled out when you are doing engineering, from assignments to exams hectic as hell. Internal exams are taken seriously well it has to be because it adds up to your final score. Hell lot of assignments are given with no use, students copy it from one another. Submissions are a big deal you've to keep everything ready. If you get in final defaulters list then its gonna be a nightmare for you, the torture defaulters face during submissions is something you would never want to experience.

This college has a mixed standard of faculties. Some have very good knowledge of their subject some have average. Faculty is helpful only if you cooperate, if you don't then you are in their bad books already. Some are even partial at times and target particular student.
