Mihir Manek's Review On Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute - [VJTI], Mumbai

No in 1983 i did not take any entrance just high marks in board to qualify for Mechanical engineering course. Today there are entrance exams like CAT.

Course Curriculum is exhaustive and inclusive with technology available at that point of time and college curriculum keeps up with latest technological advances in industry and today it is very advanced keeping trends in industry and technological innovations.

Yes, Internship is provided by college and in diploma there was in plant training in industry with few hundred rupees per month in 1987 and today it is few thousand rupees per month during internship.

Good Placement and job opportunities with tie ups with industries and companies and campus interviews are arranged every year for last semester students and some students. Who are rank holders get premium jobs and high salaries from multinationals and industry leaders.

Annual Alumni VJTI get together and Dinner every December and Pratibimb and Technovanza are some of the events celebrated in VJTI besides annual convocation for students passing out every year and company sponsored programs with links to industry and seminars also held in auditorium.

Yes, very good scholarship and loan facility supported by trusts available with VJTI and Government and private scholarships and loans by banks are also available.

Yes, we our alumni is very strong and all over world but strong in Mumbai/USA and Canada and other big cities of India and Dubai where our students hold high positions.

Exams were weekly during my time plus six monthly semester exams and labs hectic but fun but today they are more industry specific and i believe in house weekly exams phased out but semester exams and labs as per schedule but courses and exams more in line with industry requirement.

During my time it was 12th Std Board exams for BE and 10th Std board exam for diploma with first 250 students in marks get admission as there were 250 seats in all branches of engineering that time plus some reserved seats for SC/ST and today there is weightage to CET exam. Which is entrance and Gate for masters degree programs.

Faculty very good and most are Masters and PHDs in their field with good academic and industry knowledge.During my time 1983 to 1987 Dr Gupchup our principal was authority on Civil and Structural engineering and most are masters and PHDS with good knowledge and industry experience in their field of study.
