College is an A grade, and the faculty is good. Their main goal is to make you industry-ready.

Placements: Mulund College of Commerce placement, with the highest package reaching around 12 LPA in 2024, up to 10 LPA in 2023, while the average Package hovered near 5.5 LPA in 2024, up from 5 LPA in 2023, for its popular B.Com related courses.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not fancy, but it is well-maintained. Clean washrooms and canteen. Classrooms are cleaned regularly. The food in the canteen is high-quality and very affordable. Also, there is a gymkhana and turf which students can use. Industrial visits and field trips are done.

Faculty: The pass percentage is always 100 percent. Very rarely, someone fails. The difficulty level is moderate. Semesters are not very difficult, they are quite easy if you study well. Teachers are well-educated and experienced. I think there are relevant subjects, and they emphasize presentations and public speaking.

Other: In BAF, the major is Accounting and Finance, which is useful everywhere.

Offered by Rizvi College of Engineering, Mumbai

4Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Average infrastructure, supportive teachers, decent placements, great location, & good campus life.

Placements: Batch 2021–25 AI & Data Science. Around 60–65% of students get placed through on-campus and off-campus drives. The highest package is about 10 LPA, the lowest around 3 LPA, and the average is about 5–6 LPA. Recruiters include TCS, Infosys, Accenture, Wipro, Cognizant, and some startups. Around 45–50% of students have internships, mostly self-applied at IT companies, startups, and data firms. Top roles offered are Software Developer, Data Analyst, AI/ML Trainee, Business Analyst, and IT Engineer.

Infrastructure: For AI & Data Science, the infrastructure is decent. Classrooms are big and airy. Most rooms have projectors, but not all are smart classrooms. Some rooms look old, but they are comfortable enough to study in. Computer labs are available for coding, data, and AI subjects. Sometimes systems or the internet become slow, especially when many students use them at the same time, but work still gets done. Wi-Fi is available on campus. Speed is average. It works fine for basic use, but is not always very fast. The library is one of the best parts. There is no hostel.

Faculty: Most teachers in the AI & Data Science department are helpful and supportive. Many are well-qualified and have good subject knowledge. Some explain concepts very clearly and are always ready to clear doubts, even after class. The curriculum covers important subjects like programming, data structures, machine learning, data analytics, AI basics, databases, and project work. To be job-ready, students must focus on practical skills. Semester exams are moderate. They are not very easy, but not too difficult either. The pass percentage is quite good. Around 80–90% of students pass if they are regular in their studies.

Other: I chose AI & Data Science because it is a growing field with good future scope. The course is modern and in-demand, with a good mix of coding, data, and AI subjects. Projects help in understanding real-life applications. There is a need for more practical training and hands-on sessions, better lab systems, faster internet, more companies for core AI/Data roles, and more internship support from the college. The college has cultural fests, technical events, and competitions. Students get chances to participate in tech fests, cultural programs, and sports events. The campus crowd is mixed. You will find serious students, fun-loving students, and everything in between. Overall, the environment is friendly. Scholarships are available for government category students, minority students, and economically weaker students. There are sports, cultural activities, clubs, and competitions.

Offered by M.L. Dahanukar College of Commerce

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Overall the college is very good and almost every faculty is kind, the course is worth every penny.

Placements: In Data Science, only 50–60 people are admitted. There is only 1 division with a limited number of students, therefore each student gets equal attention. The package for my course as a fresher is around 35,000 to 40,000 per month, and the maximum is 9 LPA. We can opt for data science or data analyst roles in companies like Infosys, L&T, J.P. Morgan, and all the IT companies.

Infrastructure: We have our own separate lab that is only for Data Science. Our Data Science classrooms are air-conditioned because of the fees we pay. Wi-Fi quality is below average. Canteen food is overpriced. There is lots of scope in sports and games.

Faculty: Some teachers are perfect and explain everything very nicely, yet some teachers’ teaching style is different, often leading students to not understand properly. But overall, the syllabus gets completed in time, and as the college is autonomous, we are carefully given a course which makes us industry-ready. Exams are moderate depending on how attentive you are in class. Pass percentage is 96 percent.

Other: I chose this course because of the future scope that Data Science has. The best thing about this course is that you get to learn so much more and so many new things. Something I would wish to be better is the placement of a few faculty members because of their rude behavior. There are lots of events and extracurricular activities, and the college floors are always occupied with participants who practice their art.

The highest package offered is 10 LPA, and the lowest package offered ranges from 2-3 LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is nice, although students can't use lifts, which I find annoying. We have to climb stairs to the 4th floor. The college has its own basketball court, girls' common room, gym, AV hall, and its own auditorium. The campus is huge and nice.

Faculty: Teachers are nice and decently qualified in their respective subjects. They do help the students when they need. They help with doubts and extra questions. They also help when their students are stuck. They teach nicely. The difficulty level of the exams is moderate, and there is not too much pressure on children.
