It’s a 10 minute ride from Vile Parle station (W.Rly. & Harbour Rly.) in a rick and will cost your wallet 15 bucks to do so.
Infrastructure:
Infrastructure is really a niche above the rest. Recently constructed building adds to its fresh looks. Amazing class-rooms with ultra modern facilities. Entertainment rooms equipped with a high end table tennis table, a carom board and a relaxing zone. Highly informative library is one more of the college’s various goodies. Great place for a 2 night 3 day stay.

Faculty :
Decent faculty. The pendulum of it sweeps a path from one of the worse to one of the
finest!! In the end…its Mother Luck that decides which period of oscillation you experience.
Attendance:
Attendance is a bit strict. They demand a compulsory 75% attendance. Usually those below 75% but above 50% get penalties in the form of assignments and there have been cases of strict action against students of very low attendance. So, it is advisable to keep attendance above 50% at least.
Crowd:
It’s the conjunction of a various people traversing vertically from the north and the south of our country and of Amchi Mumbai as well!! Good cultural blend with lots to learn and share. It’s the marriage of the localites and the hostelites, in their common language!!
Good fun loving life. Not completely focussed on acads…one has time to pursue his own interests. One may tend to get attached to it pretty seriously.
