Satisfied with the college life, campus and events as well.

Placements: In the course of my B.A., I am a second-year student, but the students of last year say that almost all of them were placed because teachers took the effort to make the companies reach the students. The average package lies between INR 2 LPA and 4 LPA. The roles offered here were mostly for writers and journalists.

Infrastructure: Somaiya College did not permit the students to use the Wi-Fi; the classrooms have average looks; there are four libraries in Somaiya, even though there are many in other parts of Somaiya. The hostel is good but expensive, which mostly upper-class people can only afford. There are a lot of sports played, mostly football and cricket.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, well qualified, and have a good amount of knowledge. Yes, it does make the students industry-ready. Being in government college, the exams are okay, not very difficult, but the advice will be to study properly to get good marks because teachers here give the marks freely without much hesitation.

Great opportunities in placement.

Placements: My college has established a dedicated placement cell for placement processes. The cell comprises of experienced and practicing lawyers, media professionals- journalists, editor, script writers, special correspondent, IT professionals etc. Hence, best of the guidance is available.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure of this college is good and provides all basic facilities like decent classrooms, library, sports ground etc. Wi-Fi support is however not so good as it sometimes malfunctions. The quality of food in canteen is pretty good and a variety of items are present.

Faculty: Teachers here are qualified and have gone through adequate training to deploy recent teaching methods in lectures. Classroom teaching involves interactions, group discussions, presentations, mock rehearsals and much more. Exams are though on a difficult side.

Our college is great. Placements are also good. It also has great infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: I did not get any placement due to the pandemic.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good here. The hostel is good. There is a good canteen, ground, library and classrooms. Our college is good, and sports faculty members are good. We get good education. Every year fests are organised for every department.

Faculty: Overall, teaching faculty members are very good here. They help us with any of the problems. This course is good, and it has a good amount of learning. It helps students to deal with anxiety. If students do not like to speak in a crowd, by doing projects, we get used to it.

Good infrastructure and facilities,

Placements: Basically, our class had a strength of 72 students. The placement I got was at IKEA, which was surprising, but as a student of BAMMC, I got a placement at IKEA with a great post. Mainly, half of the people got placements at Red Chilli Entertainment and IKEA, as per me.

Infrastructure: The network was a bit slow, but the facilities provided were top-notch. ITC was great. The facilities were very good, as people had gyms, washing machines, and many things available on the college premises. We didn't need to move out. The area of Somaiya was also very lavish.

Faculty: The teachers were very qualified, knowledgeable about the subject matter, and well-prepared for class. Yes, it does make students industry-ready. The passing percentage is 45%. It was a bit difficult for us to pass. The teaching quality was also good, as they were student-friendly.

I am very satisfied with this college.

Placements: Almost 80-90% of students got placed in our course. The lowest salary package offered was 2 LPA. The highest salary package offered was 10 LPA. The top recruiting companies hire students from our course. Many students got internships actually not based on the percentage but they also check the ability and number of projects other than the course he has done. Based on this, they get internships.

Infrastructure: All facilities like a smart board, library, canteen, etc., are available for students. In data science course, the most important thing needed is lab for the practice of code and every other thing, so it is available. Now talking about hostel, the hostel serves food 3 times a day and the quality is also good.

Faculty: Talking about the faculty, teachers in the college are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality of each teacher differs and they make students understand in the simplest way. Exams are not much difficult as such but some subjects might me tough. The passing percentage is 7.01 CGPA.

Other: I chose this course because it was new and has high value in the market. There are may fests and events organised in this college campus which make your college life memorable.

It is a good college, with excellent courses, and mind-blowing faculty, but the fee is too high.

Placements: Most of the students get placed here, and the faculty members have good industry experience, and so they get students placed with full-time jobs and also internships. From marketing to journalism, all the aspects are covered thoroughly. Plus it is an easy process.

Infrastructure: We have a library that covers our syllabus. The classrooms are non-AC but huge and spacious with all A-V facilities. The canteen and mess are affordable and great. The engineering canteen is much better than Aurobindo's, but the mess is unbeatable.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. We also have visiting faculty. They're all so invested in their respective fields that talking to them becomes easy.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to do mass media. The best thing is the subjects and assignments we get, as they are practical and to the point. The course is very much non-theoretical.
