Q: Are there any better option for BTech other than CSMU?

If any candidate has high rank in JEE Main or MHT-CET, top-tier Mumbai institutions like VJTI, ICT, IIT Bombay, or SPIT offer much higher placement and industry networks. However, if candidates are looking for a private university with modern specialisation like AI or Data Science without tight cutoff then CSMU is a good choice.

Q: How does the CSMU MBA compare to other private universities in Mumbai?

MBA at CSMU is better than many private colleges in Mumbai, because it offers a highly practical, corporate-ready Dual Specialisation system at a much more affordable fee (INR 2.65 Lakhs for tuition) compared to many premium Mumbai colleges. While top-tier schools might have larger networks, CSMU provides excellent value with a 73% placement record, and tie-ups with over 250 recruiters like Amazon, TCS, and HDFC Bank.

Absolutely satisfied with the faculty members and infrastructure.

Placements: I am from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj University, pursuing the BCA course. There are a total of 200 students in my course. The package of the course is not more expensive. Top companies like Infosys, etc., hire students. Many students got internships from the college. Many roles are also offered in my course, like AI with the best projects.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is the best. The college is big. It has many departments. The whole college has Wi-Fi. There are big classrooms and a great library. The hostel is neat. The canteen is also good in terms of taste and quality. There are also many sports faculty members.

Faculty: Teachers in this college are too friendly and helpful. Their teaching quality is also good. They have good knowledge and are PhD holders. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students work on a hands-on project. The college also helps with internship forms and information. Faculty members are good.

Other: The best thing about this course is that it has AI learning, which is best for the future to learn, and many coding languages. Many events are held, especially Aarambh.

Never take admission here.

Placements: I am deeply disappointed with the placement opportunities provided by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj University. Despite promises made during admission regarding good corporate tie ups and regular placement drives the reality is far from expectations. The placement cell is inactive and the promises made during admission about 100 percent placement are completely false. No soft skill training interview prep or resume building sessions are provided.

Infrastructure: The campus is okay but nothing exceptional. Some buildings are new but maintenance is poor. Classrooms lack proper equipment and the library is average. Fake promises are made during admission.

Faculty: Most faculty members are not experienced or lack proper teaching skills. No practical exposure; teaching is mostly theoretical and outdated. The curriculum is not industry relevant. Very few technical updates or real world topics are included. Exams are not well organized and sometimes evaluations are unfair or delayed. No mentorship or guidance for projects, internships, or competitive exams like GATE, NET, etc.

I advise students not to take admission here. The atmosphere of the college is very bad.

Placements: As a student of this college, I feel it is important to share an honest review of the placement scenario here. Unfortunately, the placement situation is far from what is promised during admission. The college tends to exaggerate the number and quality of companies visiting the college. In reality, only a handful of companies come for recruitment.

Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure of my college is quite disappointing and does not meet the basic standard expected from a reputed university. Apart from the admission area, which is well-maintained to create a good first impression for new students and parents. The rest of the campus lacks proper care and development.

Faculty: The quality of faculty members in my college is very poor. Overall, there are a few genuinely good and dedicated professors who care about teaching and students' understanding. They are the exceptional rather than the norm. The majority of the faculty members lack both proper teaching skills and willingness to support students. The biggest issue is that many faculty members mostly complete their syllabus in the last few weeks.

Other: Fests are a disaster. It is like they do not plan anything ahead of time. All of them depend on each other for them to come up with ideas.

Faculty members are very supportive and helpful.

Placements: Many companies recruit students from the college like Axis Bank, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, etc. The highest package is 8 LPA. It has vast options in the placement cell, and the placement cell helps us with placements. It gives better opportunities and gives valuable knowledge to pass through every interview.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is well-built with a library. The hostel is near the main college building. It has a basketball court and a badminton court. The hostel is very good with AC service and Wi-Fi services. It has nice food in the hostel mess. It has 2 canteens and juice centers. Labs are well-equipped and classrooms are all air-conditioned.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. They provide good information about each topic and give an easy understanding theory. They have medium-level difficulty if we study well but they support us to get a good understanding of each topic with good faculty members.

Other: It organises many events throughout the year. It organises extracurricular activities like basketball, cricket, and many sports events.

Average students can take admission. The faculty is good but needs so much improvements.

Placements: Till now I haven't seen any kind of placement in our college. The college does not provide placements. It was established in 2018, so the college is not famous. They provide a platform for learning skills by IIT teachers and after that, we have to give an exam and we will get a certificate for the course. All kinds of IT work and development roles are provided.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is average as per other colleges. The college is still under construction so many things and changing. It has a huge playground, sports room, classrooms, and a good library. The college provided Wi-Fi on every floor. I don't live in a hostel but it's quite good as per my friends. The food is also average.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and knowledgeable. The quality of the teaching is also good. Teachers give assignments and projects to students for practical knowledge of students. Semester exams are not that difficult. It is easy to pass all exams if you are an average student.

Other: I wanted to do engineering, so I joined here. The B.Tech IT course is really useful for students who want to make a career in software development and any others like web development and app development. Exams and teaching way can be improved. The college organises 2 events per year like a fresher party and sports day.
