BFA in Applied Art - Batch of 2025

Offered by Padmabhushan Vasantdada Patil Pratishthan College of Engineering

2.2

Dissatisfied by management.

Placements: Our course has 60 seats and it is about Bachelor in visual arts. We have total 8 subjects and our college does offer placement but only In final year. Almost everyone gets an internship from our college unless and until the students don't accept it.

Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is not that good because it looks like a hospital plus the lifts don't work. The toilets are clean but they don't have basic stuff. Our classrooms are also not that great but still they are good enough. We have a library but it's small and our college does not have a campus it's very bad.

Faculty: There are some teachers who teach us very well but some don't know what they are doing and it's very confusing for students. Many times the teachers are not present in our class for hours. Our course curriculum teaches us a basic of what will be needed in the industry later. The exams are not that difficult. The passing percentage is 35%.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to become a graphic designer, the best thing about this course is that It does not have a lot of theory subjects and most of them are practical so it's fine doing the assignments. I wish that they would improve the college infrastructure and management needs a lot of improvement. Things should be modernized to develop us and match with the outside world.

BFA in Applied Art - Batch of 2023

1.0

I am absolutely dissatisfied with poor management.

Placements: Our course is new in this college. So we are the first batch. College is the worst.

Infrastructure: There is no computer lab or photography studio. They say the hostel fee is Rs.10,000 per year but when we get admission we have to pay Rs.54,000 additional fee for the mess.

Faculty: Faculty are not experienced in the industry. The curriculum is outdated and worth spending much money. Faculty doesn't take any effort to teach something relevant and helpful to get a job in the industry. Faculty keeps changing every year. Some teachers have left within a month so we haven't learned anything whatever we do or get a job will be on our own. We don't get any help.

This college is great for curricular activities and events which give on-field experience of work.

Placements: There are no such placements or internships in this college. But there are lots of industrial students who visit the college during events and annual exhibitions, and they take students to work with them in the future. Students are given all kinds of exposure to build a successful career and get placed in recognized firms and work globally.

Infrastructure: This college has wide classrooms with separate benches for the single student along with a wooden drawing board. There is a library, auditorium, BCR, typo-laboratory, and also gym facility for the students are given in this college. There is a canteen for all students and staff with a reasonable rate and good taste.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and experienced. There are many curriculum activities held in this college such as fresher's party, sport's week, annual exhibition, amaze, yellow bench, a long tour which is for about 2 weeks, etc.

Other: This college has a huge campus. The crowd present here is mostly from out of Mumbai and has great work. All the events are held on the campus. Every festival is celebrated in this college like Holi, Diwali, Christmas, Navratri, 15th August, etc.
