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 Management Studies (BMS) - Batch of 2028

4.6

4Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

A good college option if you miss out on the top 3 colleges in Mumbai, great location.

Placements: Though I am a first-year student, I am aware of the placements that our college provides. I am a student of Bachelor's in Management Studies batch 25-28, and the top recruiting companies for my course include KPMG, Deloitte, Zomato, TCS, etc. The average salary offered on Campus is Rs 4.1 LPA, and the highest is 7.1 LPA. According to the Placement Cell Reports, 22% of the total students placed for the year 2024-25 were from the BMS programme.

Infrastructure: We, Self-financing Programme Students, have AC classrooms with Wi-Fi and smart LED screens for educational purposes instead of typical whiteboards. There is no hostel and canteen at the college, but there's a Nescafé in the parking lot of the college. There's a college turf a few metres away from the college and a garden area or outdoor gym on the college campus.

Faculty: The teachers are really experienced as well as well-educated for the current period of teaching. They are helpful and kind. The course curriculum is highly relevant and in accordance with the NEP 2020. There are subjects like IKS -Indian Traditional Knowledge System and EVS-Environment Studies, which help in getting a better view of the world around, while keeping in view the business aspects of it.

Other: The crowd here is really diverse. Not the SoBo vibe crowd, but people are really fun, kind and generous. There are lots of events that take place. Moneta is the key attraction for Finance enthusiasts.

5Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

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 percent -70 percent 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.

3Placements3Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

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

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.

It's been the best college I am studying in and the best teaching and non-teaching staff.

Placements: It's been the best college. Placement in the college is more seats are been there. Reviews of placements at R. A Podar College of Commerce and Economics generally indicate a good placement record, with a variety of companies visiting campus, including big four accounting firms like KPMG, EY, PwC, and Deloitte, and notable recruiters like JP Morgan, TCS, and Saint-Gobain India Pvt Ltd; however, achieving the best placements often requires above-average performance, and the average package might be around 4-5 LPA with higher packages available for top performers. Key points about placements at R. A Podar College:

Infrastructure: All courses in the college are best taught and classes and the library are nice. Two vocational courses are offered as an integral part of the B.Com. course: Computer Applications, and Travel and Tourism Management. Vocational courses offered as an integral part of junior college include Marketing and Salesmanship, Office Management.

Faculty: Monthly exams and best teaching of the course. We were in our final year of graduation that time when we were asked to invite colleges from all over Mumbai to participate in our annual intercollegiate festival, known as "Enigma." That time, we visited the colleges, met the contact person to give out the invitation, and left. We visited this particular college in South Mumbai that has an excellent reputation, even today. We entered the college, went to the staff room, and asked for the person we were supposed to meet.

Other: The crowd is not too much, but it has a small campus.
