About internships too, the same thing was there, but majorly, we didn't have an internship kind of course structure, so the college is not to be blamed.

Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.) - Batch of 2028

Strong foundation in commerce with helpful faculty and useful infrastructure.

Placements: I'm currently pursuing my first year in the B.Com course, and though I haven't experienced placements directly yet, I've gathered insights from seniors and faculty about the placement track record. Around 60%-70% of the students from the previous batch were placed. The highest package is 7 LPA-8 LPA, offered by companies in the finance/consulting sector. The lowest package is 2.5 LPA-3 LPA, and the average package is 4 LPA-5 LPA. Top recruiting companies are TCS, Deloitte, EY, WNS, Capgemini, HDFC, and Kotak Mahindra are some of the key recruiters for commerce students.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is well-maintained and suitable for commerce courses. The classrooms are spacious and equipped with proper seating and ventilation. Most classrooms have projectors and are Wi-Fi enabled, which helps during presentations or practical sessions. The college has a well-stocked library with a good collection of reference books, commerce journals, and access to online databases. It's a peaceful place for self-study. Since the course involves technical skills like Excel and finance software, computer labs are available and function properly for practical sessions.

Faculty: The teaching is a mix of theory and practical understanding. Some professors are very interactive and keep students engaged, while a few rely more on textbook teaching. Overall, the quality is good and improving. Semester exams are moderately difficult, not too tough if you attend lectures and stay consistent. Internal assessment (projects, tests, presentations) carries good weightage, so scoring is possible with proper preparation.

It is an empowered autonomous college that provides us with a wide range of options in B.Com.

Placements: It has an average placement cell, and it is not that good. There are medium packages in placements. Not many top companies visit the college to recruit students, Only a high percentage (O grade) students can get good placements, and others do not get that many good placements. Roles in finance and marketing are mostly offered to students.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure should be improved and it is not that good for the college's reputation. We do not have a college canteen, and we only have a tie-up with Nescafe. There Maggi is good but expensive, Our auditorium doesn't have AC because it is a heritage college and it should have AC. There are not that good washrooms.

Faculty: It has average faculty members. Faculty members help us. Semester examinations are very difficult and useful for students. They provide the widest range of subjects in the course. The course curriculum helps very much to students and makes students industry-ready.

Other: Events, fests, and the campus crowd are the best things here. There are all types of people from lower to higher categories. It organises the best extracurricular activities.

B.Com in Acturial Studies - Batch of 2026

2.4

4Placements2Infrastructure3Faculty1Crowd & Campus Life2Value for Money

If you are living in Mumbai and want to choose a local college only, go for it.

Placements: I am in B.Com (Actuarial Science), Podar. When it comes to academics is really great, so the placement percentage is quite high. I think the percentage might be around 80-85%, which includes big companies like PwC, JP Morgan, and Deloitte. You can even get internships easily at Podar.

Infrastructure: In terms of infrastructure, Podar is below average. There is no proper classroom allotment, no campus, and the library is very average. Only a few classrooms, for self-financing courses, are good. There is no hostel facility in our college. So, if you want a proper infrastructure and campus, this college isn't for you.

Faculty: I would say a few teachers are really good, and a few are very mediocre. The college is a very like school, you need to bring your parents, they conduct a PTM kind of thing once a year. The curriculum, I guess, is okay, and it is pretty easy to pass the semester exams. In my class, the pass percentage is 99%.

Other: Actuarial Science is only offered at Podar, and I chose it because of that. If you are doing a course which is better in other colleges, then please do not come to Podar. It's kind of a waste of time, nothing is good here.

The college is the best college anyone can wish for—social life, career life, in every aspect.

Placements: Placement cell in our college was great as we still get updates and opportunities even after a year. The highly known companies which come to our campus are the BIG 5 like EY, Deloitte, KPMG, etc. Anybody can apply for the placement cell for a mere fee of 300 one time and you'll be guided throughout the process.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is great. Labs, classrooms, and the library are well maintained. The staff there is really great help and kind. There is no hostel facility, but the students who have come from outside stay in nearby PGs. Every facility is available and well maintained.

Faculty: Teachers were very helpful and qualified, and they were really great in teaching us, making us understand the subjects. They prepare you for the exam in the best way possible and guide you to work in the industry further. The exams conducted were of moderate level.

Review of Unarguably Mumbai's Best Commerce College.

Placements: The college has a placement cell from where students are provided various internship opportunities. A few of the top recruiting companies are Deloitte, KPMG, K. D. Shah, etc. The average package that the companies offer is about rupees 15,000 per month. All the students are eligible for these interviews.

Infrastructure: All the facilities are up to the mark. Wi-Fi facilities are good. The classrooms and library are good along with the reading hall. The college has a gymkhana where a lot of games such as chess, carrom, cricket, football, etc., are kept. Through the gymkhana forum, students can participate in these sports and represent the college in the sports they like in various competitions.

Faculty: I think the college has one of the best teaching staffs in Mumbai. The exams are conducted every 6 months, and the difficulty of the exams is moderate. The curriculum is one of the best. The teachers emphasize giving the students conceptual clarity about the subjects in the curriculum. The passing percentage is 40 in exams.

Other: The crowd is very suitable for people like me who are pursuing CA because most of the students there are pursuing CA. There are a lot of fests and events organized every year in the college. A few of them are Ganeshotsav, Enigma, Matematrix, Rapport, etc.

Absolutely dissatisfied by infrastructure, good placements and good facilities like Wi-Fi.

Placements: 78% students were in this course. The highest package offered was 10 LPA and the lowest 3 LPA and average package was 5 LPA. Deloitte, TCS I think 60% of students got internship placements in various companies like TCS, JP and hdfc bank. Top roles offered are business management, Digital marketing.

Infrastructure: In my personal opinion, the infrastructure is not that good and is too old and regarding the facilities, there's not even a canteen, there's only a small cafe shop which provides few snacks and drinks. Wi-Fi was provided and it was fast and good, Classrooms are not that good and very old infrastructure, Library is great and amazing.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and the staff is good, knowledgeable and the teaching quality is proficient and above average. The course curriculum is relevant and it does really make the students ready for the industry and work life. The course provides and great knowledge and is interesting. The semester exams are not that difficult as such and pass percentage is 90%.
