What Students Say
Likes
- Area if very good, campus is good considering it is in mumbai where space is an issue. Good girls to boys ratio. 40/60
- Fests though small are good and give you a chance to get out of your shell. Good way to engage with classmates and seniors and improve communication and leadership skills.
- with the autonomous curriculum now introduyced, there are new subjects like law for engineers, community engagement programs which are scoring and help increase cgpa and provide a break from regular academia.
Dislikes
- Work life balance is poor. almost 13 subjects in one semester with multiple unit exams being held in one day.
- difficult to maintain good cgpa with autonomous system but easy to pass.
- placements are poor, faculty not upto mark with grudges being held with students

Admission
1. i also applied to KJ Somaiya in vidyavihar and RAIT in navi mumbai and VIT vellore. i did not choose these colleges for the following reason: expensive fees and no affiliation with mumbai university, expensive and not well regarded, large batches in each class so issues in placements, 2. i did not get rejections from any college i applied to. 3. admission to my college can be done through CAP rounds or institute rounds. the eligibility depends on your mh-cet score. only mh-cet is accpeted and jee. but only mh-cet is given importance. there is also a 51% quota for chrisitian minority students
Faculty
faculty to student ratio is good and the faulty is well educated. they are mostly all phds with a few in the process of getting their phd. faculty to student relationship depends on the branch. electronics and computer science branch is known to have a very tough faculty. whereas other branches have more leniant faculties with better student to faculty relationships there is an ise1, ise2, mse and ese for each subject. some subjects thought are practical based and have only practical exam 1 and 2. the ise1 and ise2 is of 20 marks, mse is of 30 and ese is of 100 marks which then gets reduced to 30. passing marks is 40 out of 100.
Night Life
1. after a day of classes, students can roam around bandstand which is just opposite the college. areas for shopping like hill road market and linking road market are also close by. there are many eateries nearby. 2. the college does not have a hostel. there is only a hostel in kalina for students coming with J&K reservation. 3. some places inside college are - euphoria stairs, old canteen. outside campus - yacht. the locality is extremely safe even late at night
