Overall a great college.

Placements: The college offers placement and internship facilities to the students, and I've heard it's pretty good that's all I can say as I am only studying in the first year but overall it's a good college and I'd recommend this to other students.

Infrastructure: The college has a canteen with plenty of food options. The library has a lot to offer as well. The classrooms are large and spacious, comfortable, and perfect for architecture students. A hostel facility is available for girls as well as boys near the college.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and well qualified. The teaching quality is good. This course is curriculum relevant and does make students industry-ready. Semester exams are as expected. The pass percentage approximately could be more than fifty percent.

There is a good ambience, but there are no placements in our stream.

Placements: There are no placements in our stream here. However, there are placements in other streams. In our stream, we have to find jobs on our own after completing our course, which is a little bit annoying. If they provide atleast some placements, it will be a great boost up for students.

Infrastructure: There is a good infrastructure here. I like to spend time with friends, and also the campus is huge. There is a canteen and also sports grounds and a workshop. Overall, it is a great place for young students to spend time and study. Buildings are divided as per the courses, so there is no confusion.

Faculty: The teachers here are highly qualified and also very friendly when it comes to teaching and other chores like submission, etc. We can ask them all the doubts. They will also guide us on the right track and also share all the knowledge they have.

There are good placements, a friendly environment and various cultural fests.

Placements: Students get placed in very good firms throughout the country from our college. Even few students get job positions in foreign countries. Around 60%-70% of students get hired, but mostly based on their performance throughout the course period and their abilities. Faculty members are also very helpful here and give opportunities to join their firms only.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is average here. All the mandatory requirements are provided. There is a Wi-Fi facility on the campus, which is provided by Airtel. Mobile network range gets poor in the classrooms. The canteen is good, and its prices are also good. A basketball court, workshops and labs are also available here.

Faculty: Faculty members here are helpful sometimes, and a few of them are our college alumni. Most of them have a master's degree. Their teaching quality is fine but can be improved. The course curriculum can be said relevant atleast because students are getting successful positions. Students gain most of the knowledge once they join the field. 6th and 10th-semester exams are conducted by MU, so they are challenging.

Other: I chose this course as I have an interest in this field. The best thing about this course is the opportunities and creativity skills. Our college should provide more practicals and fieldwork in this course. Mobile network issues need to be resolved. Events and fests are organised regularly, and Alegria is one of them.

Absolutely satisfied because of faculty, infrastructure and festivals.

Placements: There are no placements in architecture colleges. We have to find on our own after graduation. We have to do the internship after 3 years for 16 weeks. That too we have to find on our own. An architect will never do a job. He/she has to open his/her own firm and practice. So, there is no factor of a job.

Infrastructure: We have spacious design studios. There is a library, computer lab and auditorium. Quality of food available in the canteen is pretty okay. Otherwise, you can go outside the college and have your food there. Alegria is the festival of joy, and it is conducted in the college. It is the biggest festival of Navi Mumbai. We have separate hostel facilities for girls and boys.

Faculty: All the faculty members are very helpful. They teach everything in every detail. Half of them are practising, so they have an idea that what is happening in real world. All the faculty are qualified and knowledgeable. They did masters in different streams of architecture.
