It's a very well-known college.

Placements: Mostly junior engineers' roles are given, with an average package of 4.5 Lacs per annum. Saporji Pallonji is mainly the top company in recruitment. The lowest package is roughly 2 Lacs per annum, and the highest is 12 Lacs per annum. Mostly, anyone who wants a job can get placement by the college.

Infrastructure: Labs are top-class with certified facilities, with very nice quality instruments and machinery for practical learning. The library is also very quiet, and there are many books you can read and even take home with permission for many days. There are many canteens, all of which are vegetarian.

Faculty: Teachers and faculty members are well-qualified and have good experience in teaching. The course curriculum is not outdated; it's as per new requirements. Semester examination is not very difficult to pass; you only require 28 marks to pass out of 70 marks, which is easier, as per me.

Somaiya Polytechnic a decent college to study but great to enjoy campus .

Placements: Most of my classmates didn't apply for further placement because they had to study further, but very few applied, and they were offered for 1.2+ LPA. But they have decent placements to offer and an internship. You can get web development role and many more.

Infrastructure: There are 3 labs for computers: 2 with AC, 1 classroom without AC, and somaiya Wi-Fi was available all around college. Mess was too good with food, and for the canteen, we need to go to the management apartments. I didn't stay in a hostel, but it was also good, as my friend told me.

Faculty: Teachers are decent; mostly self-study is important. The curriculum is the same as Msbte and relevant, and they will provide you with the study materials. Exams are pretty good; if you are an AVG student, you can pass easily, and only a few semesters are thought of, but you can pass.

Other: I chose the Somaiya Poly case because it is good for studies and easy for admission in the Gujrati minority quota case. The campus is really good and huge. Fest is awesome here and very enjoyable.
