Location:
K.C. College of Engineering is located in Thane east in a place is called Kopri. It is about 10 minutes walking distance from the station.
Infrastructure:
The infrastructure is cited to be horrendous. Dirty classrooms, pathetic benches, no maintenance are the highlights. The labs are terrific though. The ground is small but guys still manage to play. In short the college looks like a khandar. Students often wonder what are the fees they pay exactly used for!!
Fees:
Rs. 86,000/year
Grade:
No grade
Faculty:
It is said that the faculty is worse than the infrastructure. Teachers allegedly struggle to speak English! “There are some teachers who don’t know to teach, some who don’t want to teach, some who struggle to teach in vain, some are just too nag and make life difficult for students, one or two teachers teach decently. The head of departments try acting strict but are often found hogging on food in labs and gossiping. The non teaching staff are just not interested to work.” quotes one of their student.
Attendance:
Attendance is a bit strict. They generally expect you to keep your attendance above 75%. If your attendance is very low then your parents are called, little drama is said to be done and soon its forgotten. But impression is very important in this college. So attending the lectures is good for the students although they are cited as useless.
Crowd:
The crowd is just what you don’t expect! Horrific could be the word! Forget about the looks, class and attitude of the crowd, they even lack competition and passion for engineering. Only if you are terribly lucky you will find good company for yourself.
Canteen:
CANTEEN…hahaha…forget the dusty and broken chairs and tables, forget the smell of the toilet beside the canteen, forget the cats and dogs in the canteen, that accounts for just about nothing!! The food is allegedly ultra unhygienic and sick! Rotten and cold vada pav, extremely oily noodles, cold samosas, and extra sweet tea and coffee is cited as the menu! Go there at your own risk!
Hangouts:
Heehaw...Another joke! This college is at the dead end of Thane. There is not even a decent coffee shop nearby. Most of the college crowd chooses to go to McDonalds in Thane west. There is Eternity mall to catch up with movies but its not very near.
Festivals:
The festival of KC College of Engineering is “Reflexions”. Its microscopic compared to the grand fests of other colleges. But thats the only fun part in the whole year!
Placements:
It is said that there are no placements. But it is hoped that some good companies will visit in the coming years.

Verdict:
Not a good college to be in! Not good for fun, not good for studies! Its good for nothing. No good placements, no good teaching faculty. The only thing that will get you to this place is extremely low MH-CET marks! But yes, the college is better than the colleges located in Karjat and Kasara.
