Mithibai College is where one can have lifelong memories.

Infrastructure: Accommodating three colleges in one building is a myth in itself. However, the maximum space in the building is for Mithibai students. Some facilities are common, like the library, indoor sports room, and canteen. The college doesn't even have enough parking space, so forget about hostels.

My personal experience with Nagindas Khandwala College (B.Sc. IT).

Infrastructure: The classrooms are pretty decent and clean. The computer labs are good, and even the library is good, but it is in a different building with a little space issue. I feel the canteen is less spacious, and the washrooms over there are not that clean compared to the ones on the floor.

DJSCE provides the best placements.

Infrastructure: It is a very small campus with a 7-floor building. The campus has classrooms on each floor. Besides that, we have a canteen, library, and a hall to host events. There is some open space near the entrance, which is a meeting point for students. The classrooms are air-conditioned and quite spacious.

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

Infrastructure: Facilities are average and cleanliness is excellent, with Wi-Fi available all over the college. The canteen serves average food, and the labs and library are average, but everything is well and good for middle-class students as you can complete your B.Tech without much financial stress, as expected in India rather than foreign countries.

My honest opinion about my college.

Infrastructure: The hostel facility is good and very disciplined. They also gave freedom so that students do not feel that they were away from home and living in a hostel. There were enough rooms to accommodate all students, and they provide everything. Mess food was good and hygienic, and it takes proper care of students' health.

A decent academic campus with a new CSE branch.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is decent overall. We have computer labs, classrooms, library, and Wi-Fi. All the basic facilities required for the course are available. Some classrooms and facilities have improved but still there are some areas which can be maintained in better way. Wi-Fi is not always consistent. The campus location is really good but the campus itself is not very big. Also, there is no proper hostel on campus, so students from outside Mumbai have to look for accommodation nearby.

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

Infrastructure: I can't comment on the hostel part was a day scholar. I was born and brought up in Mumbai itself, so I used to travel daily by local train. However, when it comes to infrastructure, you'll have fun finding new colleges inside one building daily, as it is too fun.

It is a great college overall.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is above average. However, cleanliness can be improved by the college. There are many trees and a nice campus, but I think it could be improved by painting the buildings and making other changes. The library is pretty amazing. There are about 1 lakh books, which is the best thing about the college.

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

Infrastructure: There is no hostel in this college. There are only 18 seats for the whole college, so if you are lucky, you might get a seat. The first-come, first-served rule applies here. The infrastructure is pretty good and is under development.

SCHM College Ulhasnagar provides a relation in attendance.

Infrastructure: Our campus is good, unlike other Mumbai colleges where they just have a building and nothing else. Our college is spacious and best part is very close to Ulhasnagar station. B.Com and B.Sc. classes are held in the main building, whereas other departments, be it engineering or medical they have their separate building.
