Faculty:
Professors are quite good…in the sense that they do teach…and students can understand
if they attend. So not a problem on that front.
Attendance:
Quite strict. A minimum requirement of a 60%. Not a place to be in if you want to chill!!
Crowd :
Crowd is predominated by students fit to become rocket-scientists. Although it is a catholic college ,surprisingly, there is no quota for it!! And life during college is absolutely restricted.
Canteen:
It is quite congested, food is edible but not to suit the taste buds. It should be avoided until and unless absolutely necessary.
Hangouts:
Bandstand Promenade, CCD, Barista, Mocha, Taj Land's End, Yoko's, Natural's, Elco
and all that you want in life…after-all its "Bandra"!!

is the technical fest held in odd semesters.
