Mithibai College is where one can have lifelong memories.

Faculty: Brilliant will not be enough to describe our faculty members. Kudos to them for teaching all of us to be well-rounded at all costs. They all hold postgraduate degrees, and some have Ph.D. degrees too. Each of our faculty members has at least a decade of teaching experience, and thus, on all fronts, they are ticked.

DJSCE provides the best placements.

Faculty: Faculty members are very good. Even if attendance is a little low, faculty members usually give a friendly warning, and that's all. I initially wanted CSE, but the MHT-CET entrance score is evaluated, and my score was unfortunately not good enough to get CSE. Therefore, I took E&TC. The course was quite good, as our college is affiliated with Mumbai University.

College is amazing for every middle-class student's family.

Faculty: All teachers and faculty members are excellent in teaching, and you can ask them anything regarding studies, life lessons, and building a brighter future. Various committee options are available, such as robotics, IT, mechanical, electrical, and others. The examination paper pattern is moderate for scoring average marks and a little tough for scoring full marks.

A decent academic campus with a new CSE branch.

Faculty: Faculty members are generally helpful. Most of our teachers are knowledgeable in their subjects. If you attend lectures and ask doubts, teachers are usually supportive. Since CSE is a new branch, the curriculum is still developing. But overall it is relevant to computer Science. Exams are not extremely difficult, but regular study is required. I feel more practical work and industry related exposure can be added.

My college review to sum up - Good experience, good teachers, etc.

Faculty: Teachers were so helpful & thoughtful. I was CA student during my degree college. So, I had to miss the last lectures mostly for my classes. Teachers who usually had last lecture every week used to give CA students some leveraged of time so that we can manage both.

It is a great college overall.

Faculty: I find some faculty members a bit rude, although not all of them. Some teachers are really great. The teaching quality is average, similar to school-level teaching. The semester exams are difficult. I would rate the faculty average based on my experience with the staff. Some staff members behave rudely, even under pressure, but being rude is not the right approach.

Not satisfied because there are no sports and all, but also not dissatisfied because of studies.

Faculty: Faculty is supportive and helpful. The curriculum might be a little hectic. The exams have changing patterns every year. As it is an autonomous college, everything is fine if you work well. You can reach out to faculty members whenever needed.

SCHM College Ulhasnagar provides a relation in attendance.

Faculty: B.Com by no means is a theory subject, and therefore our faculty members used to teach us with practicals. I chose commerce after 10th, and therefore I chose to do B.Com as I initially thought I would pursue CA alongside it, and our college does provide relaxation when it comes to attendance. Faculty members used to give us enough liberty.

The college is good in terms of education but infrastructure is average.

Faculty: Teachers were good, helpful, and qualified. The study material in practical and theory was useful for the real world. Semesters were good and similar to board exams. They had divided a class to visit the college in two different timings to maintain discipline and so everyone could adhere to examination rules and regulations. Passing was 45 percent.
