Absolutely dissatisfied with the placements.

Placements: There are no placements in the college. They were informed during admission about the placement cell. They don't have recruiters or good companies for hiring. In my batch or class, no one got placed. There are no on-campus placements available in this college.

Infrastructure: The laboratories are air-conditioned. Classrooms are of a very traditional type. All classrooms have digital screens. The canteen is too small. There are not enough chairs. The food quality is average. The sports facility and NSS are good they do focus on sports more.

Faculty: The exam committee cell focuses on backlog to earn money. The syllabus is always late they don't complete the syllabus until the exam date, and they say to do self-study. The teaching quality is not good they don't complete the syllabus in time. They always take extra lectures during vacation.

Other: They only favour caste students for the scholarship scheme.

Our college is the best.

Placements: Top companies such as Zeno Health Care, MedPlus from Badlapur, Ambernath, and Ulhasnagar area recruited students from our college. They offered roles such as retail pharmacist and logistics management. They offered around 2 LPA to 2.5 LPA as the average package.

Infrastructure: Our college had lecture halls where we focus on studies, and common rooms where we discussed our difficult questions and explored topics. Subject-specific laboratories where all of us could understand the practical clearly. The canteen was nearby, where good quality snacks and beverages were provided.

Faculty: Our teachers' team was M.Pharm qualified, and they were senior-most in their professions. Studies were simple if only we studied because teachers made it so simple to remember things quickly. So it was not tough to pass. More than 90 percent of students passed when I was studying.

Best college ever.

Placements: To be honest, I don't know how many students get placed, but I can say that around 5,000 students get placed at good companies, and some are also doing internships. Placements are good enough in my college. There is a board where we can see how many people get placed.

Infrastructure: I don't stay in the hostel, but our college faculty is the best. They support us a lot and take good care of us. The Wi-Fi is okay and helps us sometimes. The sports and games faculty are also great. They help us even over phone calls.

Faculty: Everything is good in my college, including the exam cell and the teachers. My teachers are always ready to help everyone. If you have any doubts, even after college hours, you can call your ma'am, and she will pick up the call and help solve your doubts.

Other: In this college, the events are really cool, and they organize many events throughout the year.

Great teachers, average placements, and lower fees than other colleges.

Placements: I think about 40% of students get placements through the college. The average salary package is around 3.5 LPA. Companies like Infosys and other leading tech companies visit the campus for recruitment. Students start internships from the second year itself. The college provides good opportunities for them.

Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi is great in the college. The labs are well-maintained and air-conditioned. However, they need to check every computer after every practical because some students disconnect the wire connections. It leads to the computers not working. I do not stay in the hostel, so I do not know much about it. The canteens are great and hygienic, and the food is affordable. If the college notices anything wrong in the canteen or if the prices are high, they solve the problem quickly. There is also a well-equipped medical room with a good doctor.

Faculty: Teachers are highly supportive. They guide students in every field, whether it is events, workshops, hackathons, or any competition. The curriculum is relevant but a bit old. I don't know about the industry-ready aspect because I am still studying, but teachers always give us a reality check about the industry, which helps us do better. The exams are not very difficult. If a student attends all the lectures, they can easily pass. The passing criteria follow the 30:20 format.

Other: I chose this college because of its supportive teachers. They have one of the fastest problem-solving teams. If a student has any problem, they solve it in a very short time. I would say the area where the college needs improvement is placements and salary packages.

Faculty has improved over time, and it is a good place to both learn and enjoy.

Placements: 80 percent of students were placed in my Computer branch. The highest package was offered by Juspay, around 24 LPA, and the lowest was 3 LPA by TCS. Top recruiting companies included Juspay, ICICI Lombard, and HSBC. My college did not offer any internships. It directly provided placement opportunities. The top roles offered were Software Engineer and Data Analyst.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure for my department was good. It had neat and clean working computers and newly renovated classrooms for my branch. We had a separate library building, which was very big and silent enough for studying. Talking about the hostel, the food quality was not good, and I recommended having food from outside.

Faculty: Most teachers in my department were very helpful. The teaching quality was also good. As it was a deemed university, the curriculum was relevant and prepared students for good placements. The semester exams were not very difficult compared to Mumbai University. The passing percentage was around 34%.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to enter the IT industry. It also offered a business subject that actually helped me in my corporate job. Apart from academics, the events and fests were very good. If you willingly participated in the fests, you enjoyed them. Otherwise, you might not find them very happening. The college also offered multiple scholarships for economically weaker sections and girl students.
