Remarks

The College Management was pretty helpful in most cases such as Fees, Examinations, Lab Setups, Practicals etc. Points in which the Management can improve 1. Hiring more Experience Professors2. Increasing the Quality of Teaching by using more modern metho

Entrance Preview

I had taken IIT JEE, AIEEE and MH CET entrance Exams. Of which I got into Jondhale College with 50% weightage of my AIEEE marks and 50% weightage of my 12th Std PCM marks through the CAP round. I had always wanted to do Computer Science Engineering and since I got this college straight forward in the CAP round, I went ahead and chose the college.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The Course curriculum was good, although it was a bit old for the current market. After I passed out, I had to undergo separate professional training for Programming languages such as Java and .Net for being eligible into IT companies. Although, the curriculum definitely helped me strengthen my Basic Know-How about Computer Systems and Mathematics.

Internships Opportunities

There were no companies who came forward for offering Internship, although a bunch of us could use our contacts and collaborate with small IT companies to create our Final Year Projects. There was no Stipend.

Placement Experience

1.5

The Placement Cell of the College was able to collaborate with other Engineering colleges in Mumbai for providing a Job Opportunity. But since this was a collaboration, instead of a batch of 50 odd eligible students applying for 20 positions, it was more than 200 pupils. Although 10-15 students from our college could manage to get placed with Infosys, TCS, Accenture and L&T Infotech for an average Package of 3.5 Lakhs per Annum.

College Events

There were two major Inter-collegiate events hosted by our College. One of them was a Tech-Fest which had Technological events such as Robotics, Lan Gaming, Coding/Programming, White Papers Presentations, Technical Debates etc. which saw participation from many other Engineering Colleges from Mumbai Second was Cultural/Sports Fest. This was more of an Intra-Collegiate Festival. It had events such as Singing, Dancing, Public Speaking, Cultural Games, Cricket, Football, Badminton and Table Tennis. We used to have participation from all the Departments of the college.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Since Jondhale College did not have a Goverment Grant, the Fees was expensive. Although, since I got admission directly through the CAP round, the fees was a little less as compared to students who got admission in Mangement Quota.Overall as compared to other Engineering Colleges in Mumbai and the quality of education Jondhale College is Expensive.

Fees and Financial Aid

Education Loans from Banks are easily available for Engineering Courses from our college. This includes All types of Banks be it Private or Public or Co-operative Banks

Campus Life

2.5

Gender Ratio was 60:40 with respect to Males vs Females. It was slightly skewed towards the Males when it came to Heavy departments such as Production, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering.The college was pretty peaceful with Students and Professors acknowledging and Tolerating each other. There were no clashes or protests by any Student Council with the Management. Any issues raised by the Student Council was addressed satisfactorily. We had a lot of students from lower Economic Status who were never made to feel bad and hence can be concluded that the college was pretty Tolerant.

Hostel Facilities

0.5

I don't have an experience with the College Hostel and Mess since I used to stay with my parents. I dont think the college had any Hostel or Mess Facilities.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

There was not Alumni Network in the College. I did not in my entire 4 Years of College meet with anyone from the Alumni offering advice and guidance on Career Paths and their Experiences.

Exam Structure

The University exams and Labs were of a Semester Pattern and hence used to happen twice a Year. The college used to have two extra exams per Semester which used to be used in evaluating the Internal Marks for each Student.Out of the 6 months assigned for

Faculty

2.5

The Faculty was average. It was a mix of very new inexperienced professors for whom this was their first job and old highly experienced professors who have been teaching the same subjects for more than 10 years. All of the professors had a Masters Degree

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.

Campus is huge and there is to much space for walk and greenari
Affordable price in cantin same we eat outside.
Not that much strict environment than many of the college.

Dislikes

Campus is huge but is mostly empty need of development.
Need of infrastructure and sports facility for students.
Need of contact no. Of emergency contact of the staff.

Placement Experience:

I talk with most of the senior and faculty and placement cell start of 3 rd year you will get internship opportunities and and in 4 th year you will get placement opportunity. But senior told me off campus placement preparation must be go on you will find good opportunity. Highest package is 12 lpa and average is 4 lpa is good for freshers.

Canteen is good but they must increase their staff.
Class should be sound proof.noice from outside disturbs.
Stationary staff should be increased and price should be decreased.

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

I had applied to other colleges too but due to the general category, I got this one in the online process. Here the admission criteria for chemical engineering are very low... You can get admission even if you have 55% on your diploma.
