Life learning by the sea

Strong academic legacy with expereinced faculties and balanced content- preparing you for future studies and entrance exams and olympiads. very much strict, i would say not needed. somehwere you may experience baised behaviour; but when you are focused on gaining knowledge then these things dont matter as its only a matter of three years. Relevance of course is there but for applying for further studies not for that much for job prospects, if you want atleast a decent salary job.

The college has no placement cell as such however some departments have tie-up or the word of mouth as they say for internships which are mostly unpaid internships more like observership. I got an internship in Bombay Hospital and Research Centre, Marine lines which turned out to be a good experience for me that helped me shape my career choices

Year wise fee structure: First year fees-8,800 Second year fees- 8,546 Third year fees-14,269 Lab fees, library fees, registration fees are all included in the yearly fees that the student has to pay. However, breakage fees that are taken compulsorily from each student whether or not he/she has broken any instruement is taken separately by each departments for which the student receives a receipt from the respective departments. Each lab`s breakage fees are separate. Yes, the college also provides scholarships for students who are bright. Merit based grants as well as minority-specific scholarships are available though i dont know the name of it. The scholarships amount mostly ranges from 10,000 to upto 2 lakhs on an average.

Overall experience of campus life was good. All three years of our course went into construction, dusty floors and rooms. Kiran festival which happens annually is the main fest of the college which is a good experience to witness and be a part of. The fest happens at the end of every year. College supports you in sports and other extracurricular activities.

I had applied for 3 colleges- Patkar college, Sophia and KC. I got selected in all three colleges but just because i wanted to experience travelling I decided to take KC. Eligibilty is based on your 12th marks so basically its on merit basis with minimum aggregate of 50-55% no entrance exam. Admission process was easy as all was online based so everything was sorted plus the admission office people were helpful.

Exam structure includes- 40 (internal)+60 (theory marks) Internal: interim exams of 20 marks each which are computer based tests of 20 marks for each subject for a time span of 20 minutes. After which there are presentation that have 10 marks and 10 for assignments. Faculty are helpful in solving your doubts related to anything and everything. Exams are moderate to difficult; studying a day before exam may pass you but wont provide you with good marks unless if thats what you want. Most of the faculties have more than 15 years of experience in teaching and most of them are Phd holders or post graduates in the particular field of research. The department is one of the oldest in Mumbai and is honored as top 3 microbiology department in India by the microbiologist`s society of India. It was a matter of liking or disliking any of the profesors as we all knew even if thet scold us it is for our own benefit so that we could push ourselves in doing something better. However, some of the new teaching facutly that recently joined the department are not good. They dont even know basics of how to give a presentation or how to actually teach degree students. They just come and read from the slides without making us understans..rather even they didnt know many a things when we used to ask them any question or doubt.
