    I liked the hostel as it is clean, well equipped, and very affordable.
    Placements: In last semester, students were eligible for campus placements, a lot of NGOs visited the campus, and a few companies visited the campus, the most famous one being ICICI Bank and SBI. Earlier, the UN also used to come, but since COVID, they have not come. Nearly all the students who wish to get a job were placed. The highest package this year was at 9 LPA in Masters course.
    Infrastructure: NRYF was our annual fest, and it was very good, lot of books were accessible, and a lot of classrooms had teaching boards and projectors. Sports need to be focused on more. A lot of clubs were there in college. Just ask in the academic section, they take your signature and you were done. It was very tough to rent outside the college as the college was far from town, so I tried getting a hostel, as everyone stays in a hostel only. It was affordable with just 30k per year.
    Faculty: Faculty to student Ratio is quite good, as I can say that for every 30 students, there were 4 faculty members, or 1 faculty member for every 6 to 7 students. The faculty was very friendly and approachable. I personally liked Shridhar sir and Deepak Abnave sir, they can be the best faculty we have.

    Alumni Network is amazing. It is widely spread and very strong in the industry.
    Placements: WWI has a Placement Cell that keeps a track of opportunities for students. There was a mandatory internship that students needed to complete after the completion of sem 4 before sem 5 commenced. Students can also get internships during the winter break during semester 5. There were various live projects that students can work on depending on their interests and experience during the academic year. Final Placement opportunities are posted to students during sem 6, where students need to list themselves and let the cell know about their interests and priorities.
    Infrastructure: Library was well equipped and efficient. There were projectors in almost every classroom. There were various clubs on the campus, from the chess club to the animal club, etc. Sports activities were there, but only within the limited land area of the campus. There was a peer support group with trained peer supporters.
    Faculty: Faculty was very approachable and friendly. They guide you through projects and courses. They were always available for students and found the best opportunities for them. They were all people who work in the industry or have worked with a huge network. This makes them incredible. Teaching methods were mostly practical and on the ground. Some projects challenge your brain in affiliated courses. They have exams at the end of the semester. There are also electives available.

    My review about this college.
    Placements: My college provided an internship for a period of one year. During this internships, we were posted in different departments like internal medicine, surgery, and pediatrics. The stipend received per month was between 20,000 and 25,000 INR. There was no confirmed placement here until we had given the exam for recruitment/staff selection and had been selected. As we were studying here, they should provide good job opportunities for us for a span of time to get the experience. We were trying hard and requesting them for our placements here.
    Infrastructure: It was diverse and gave you a summed-up knowledge of every possible thing that was important for the future. Overall course covers almost all the syllabus including interactive sessions, assignments, and other activities. Hostel rooms were very good. College provided the hostel on a sharing basis. The basic immensities of the hostel were very good for example the cleaners they well maintained. The hostel room sweepers come for cleaning every weekend. The mess food was so good and had a variety. The PGs were very expensive. They want 4 to 6 months rent for a deposit. Average rent was Rs 8,000.
    Faculty: Faculty members were well experienced and kind enough to share all the necessary knowledge with their students. All the faculty members come from reputed colleges and universities. They helped the students in any way possible so that the students could get an overall understanding of the subject. Regular classes and guest lectures were held to give students real-life examples. Our college follows semester system so we had exams every six months. We also used to write mid-semester every three months. The mode of exams consists of presentations, assignments, book reviews, and end semester exams.

    The best part of the course was its esteemed and renowned faculty members.
    Placements: From the 6th semester, all students are eligible for campus placements. There were almost 30+ companies that came to make offers, and I do not recall the names, but almost 34 LPA is the highest package they offer, and some lucky students also got 80 LPA package. Almost 80% students get placed.
    Infrastructure: TISS Mumbai, being a government funded college, has a decent infrastructure, but still it can be improved, especially the library and research related funding. Hostels were good. There was no proper sports ground, but there was a facility for indoor games and a gym. Classrooms were very good.
    Faculty: I do not have the idea about the faculty student ratio, but the relationship between students and faculty was very strong. The faculty was always ready for students. I do not know the name, but there was one faculty. I do not like it because they want only students who know about that field, but if you do not teach the new students how they know about that field, and all faculty members were slightly biased towards CSAI students decisions.
