It is a good college with good infrastructure and crowd.
Placements: I am in the first year now, and due to Corona lockdown, this year placements are not that good for seniors. The highest salary package offered is 8 LPA, and the minimum salary package offered is 2.5 LPA. CavinKare and 99 acres are the best companies which visited here for marketing students. Almost 100% of students got their internship.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is great, and you don't have to worry about infrastructure and facilities. Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms and library are very good. There are no hostel facilities for MBA students, but they can stay in the engineering hostel.
Faculty: Faculty members of our college are average and not well-experienced and good. All old faculty members left the college, and there are new faculty members, so they don't have enough experience to teach. I can't recommend this college. Otherwise, it is a good college.
Other: I have chosen this course because it is a government course provided by Mumbai University. This course can help you anywhere. Events and fests are a regular part of our college, and they are held every year.

Great Infrastructure, extra curricular activities are great but dissatisfied with the placement.
Placements: The placements are not that great for MS college focus on placing PGDM students. If you are looking for the package in range 2-5 lacs then its a good choice. The faculty also little biased with MS students but there are some good lecturers, who has good knowledge also.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is one of the best in the Mumbai University. Hostel is also available and its very near to the college and also very affordable. The extra activities are also very useful and conducted on the regular basis such as newspaper reading session, industry analysis sessions, conclaves etc.
Faculty: Some teachers are very helpful and gives proper guidance. But some are biased in PGDM and MS. Teaching quality for finance is quite good compare to Marketing, HR, Operation. The curriculum is quite relevant with some extra efforts made by the college to give extra knowledge through seminars, quiz, and tests.
Other: The fest is one of the best in the Mumbai area. Campus surrounding has different colleges of Thakur Education Society. Also the incubation programme to motivate student towards starting new business gives students opportunity to test their venture. Finance is better compare to other department with extra activities to motivate student.
