The college is really good, and there are a number of courses available.

Placements: Placements are available only for law students, and other courses have limited or no placement support. Students from other disciplines may need to proactively seek external opportunities. There is also a lack of proper guidance and sufficient placement opportunities.

Infrastructure: Students must fill out the hostel application form, providing necessary details. The hostel is quite close to the college, and the college provides hostel facilities with a commendable meal plan. Overall, the quality of the meal is good, and the structure of the meal includes morning, lunch, evening, and dinner.

Faculty: The curriculum is structured to align with university guidelines, and the examination includes multiple assessments, fieldwork, projects, and internships. The college offers a diverse curriculum with an emphasis on practical learning, but there is a lack of guidance.

Other: Events, fests, and annual gatherings are organized every year. Days are celebrated, and other cultural activities are also done in college.

Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.) - Batch of 2024

2.2

3Placements1Infrastructure2Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life1Value for Money

Not satisfied with the college—there are no good teachers, no proper guidance, and no good classes.

Placements: Placements are not provided at Dandekar College. Even if you manage to get a placement, you’ll likely regret it. The facilities are poor, and the only reason students attend this college is because of the low fees; otherwise, there’s no compelling reason to be here. It’s rare to find teachers who teach properly.

Infrastructure: The classrooms need significant improvement; the benches are of low quality, and cleanliness is lacking in both the classrooms and the library. The only decent facility is the IT lab, and while the campus itself is clean, the classrooms are not, with some even having small boards.

Faculty: In our B.Com course, most of the teachers are HR professionals, but they lack knowledge and qualifications. Some teachers struggle with basic reading, yet they hold HR positions. It's frustrating, and they need to hire more qualified teachers. The current teaching quality is unacceptable.

Other: I chose B.Com because I want to pursue CA, and this course seemed like the right choice to accommodate the need for study leave. However, the college is very strict about attendance, making it difficult to get leave. If you miss a few days, the teachers may even threaten not to let you sit for exams.

Absolutely satisfied with the college because of the faculty, good infrastructure, and placements.

Placements: College placements, often referred to as placement services or career services, are departments within a college or university that assist students in transitioning from their academic programs to the workforce. Here is a detailed description of college placements.

Infrastructure: College infrastructure refers to the physical environment and resources that create the foundation for a productive and conducive educational experience. It includes various components, such as academic buildings, residential halls, and administrative buildings.

Faculty: College faculty refers to the group of educators and instructors who teach courses and conduct research at a college or university. They typically hold advanced degrees in their respective fields and are responsible for designing and delivering course content, conducting research, and mentoring students.

Other: Campus environment is the very best.

1Placements3Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

I can say this is the best college in Palghar, teaching and infrastructure-wise.

Placements: Students must have a minimum of 60% in the arts, commerce, and science. I think no package is offered here, and if offered, it can cost INR 20 thousand per month. No student has to do an internship on their own. So no internship is offered here.

Infrastructure: The college's infrastructure is the best in Palghar. Good and well-equipped sports grounds with a football court, kabaddi ground, and volleyball are also provided, while indoor services like carrom, chess, and table tennis are also available. This college also had a well-equipped canteen.

Faculty: Yes, this college gives you the support of a good and well-qualified teaching staff, which you may not have ever experienced. Teachers with an MBA, Ph.D., M.Com net, and fluent English speaking ability are preferred. All teaching staff are very supportive.

Other: It may depend on your choice. I chose this course because I am quite passionate about management, and I chose marketing because I think I have good marketing skills.

Our college provides good facilities and helpful for placements.

Placements: Placements are not provided in our college. Around 40% of students get placements in our college. Faculty members help students to prepare for interviews and give proper guidance to crack the interviews.

Infrastructure: Hostel is not available in our college. Computer labs are good. Library is available. Classrooms are good and well-ventilated. Sessions are so interactive. Wi-Fi is not provided but computers are connected to the internet for students.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are helpful and interactive. Teaching quality is very good and knowledgeable. They teach using projectors sometimes to make classes more understandable. They provide industry-related information and their experience. Exams are not difficult because of the teachers. I scored the lowest CGPA is 8.7 including all 6 semesters.

Other: I chose this course because I am interested in IT sector.

I am somewhat satisfied, but I am dissatisfied with the management of the college.

Placements: Around 75% of the students got placed in our course. The salary package offered is 2 to 5 LPA at a junior level, and the highest salary package offered can go up to 20 LPA. The lowest salary offered is around Rs. 40,000 per month, and the average salary offered is Rs. 70,000-80,000 per month. Top recruiting companies of our college are Biocon, Syngene, Serum Institute of India and Lupin Limited. Around 30-45% of the students got internships in companies like Accurex and Lupin most of the time. Top roles offered to the students are biomedical engineer, biochemist, medical scientist and microbiologist.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is fairly good because Wi-Fi is only available in computer and IT labs. There are almost all types of labs, and especially the chemistry lab is huge and equipped with all kinds of chemicals. The biology lab and all types of IT labs are also pretty good. Physics lab could be better. Classrooms are big with ventilator windows and equipped with 4 fans, each with a blackboard. The library is medium with limited access to borrowing books. There is no facility for the hostel on the campus. There is a canteen which is more like a shop. Medical facilities are good, and a hospital is available within 1 km of the campus. Sports and games are the best in our college, and we also represented many state and district level players also at the national level. Our college is equipped with 2 playgrounds with access to all kinds of sports equipment, and there is also a gym and gymkhana.

Faculty: Teachers are the best in our course. Veterans in their field clear all doubts and pay extra attention to academically weak students if they engage from their side. They are highly qualified, and all our teachers are PhD qualified in their respective fields. Teaching quality is good from the teachers' side, but facilities are not well enough like cutoff of electricity, etc. The course curriculum is relevant. SDSM is famous for providing industry-ready students, especially in the chemistry field. Most of the students' motive is to be industry-ready in the first place because of the availability of employment in MIDC nearby.

Other: I have chosen this course is because I like science, and I want to accomplish great in the science field. Biotechnology is used to create more efficient and less expensive drugs. Recombinant DNA technology is used for the production of specific enzymes and hormones such as somatostatin, insulin and the human growth hormone. There are many examples which include the production of gasoline from ethanol which in turn is produced from sugar, the production of insulin using recombinant DNA technology. The most important way to improve in teaching way is to upgrade classrooms of our campus and electricity cutoff problems. There is also a need to increase the number of practicals. There should be more practicals as compared to theoretical classes because biotechnology is all about practical and not only theory. Our campus conducts many events like cultural and productivity-related, and there are many fests in which students' participation is compulsory. The campus crowd is a bit more due to various courses available in our college. There is also a lack of management of the crowd control from the side of the college. The campus is surrounded by some native villagers on the left side connecting to Boisar - Palghar road following by district Palghar city. The right side is followed by forests. Scholarships are provided by the college and also by the government for all kinds of students. Extracurricular activities like NCC, NSS and many others are conducted to help students to achieve their specific goals. I am in NSS, and I participate in various public awareness activities and social activities.
