Infrastructure:
The college is housed in a spacious building occupying nearly 120,000 square feet (11,000 m2) area. Most of the canteens and faculties are connected internally and there is considerable interaction among people from different faculties. There are close to half a dozen labs (And I mean well maintained ones!). Even though the college is situated in the Dr. D. Y. Patil Deemed University campus it is affiliated to University of Mumbai.
Fees:
Rs. 59,500/year
Grade:
A
Faculty:
Some really dedicated professors, some OK ones
Crowd:
A masala mix of scholars, cyberjunkies, diehard headbangers, take-it-easy goers, flunkers, Martians, Gujjus etc.
Life in RAIT begins at 9:00 AM and seems to end at 6:00 PM (People never leave, they seem to fade away. RAIT is never lifeless). People are into Computers, rock music...rock music and computers. Half of RAIT comprises cyber nuts the other half sleep on guitars.
Canteen:
Strangely enough RAIT canteen (managed by Anna) serves good food at very reasonable rates. Thali, vada pav are favourites. But the ambience really sucks big time!! You wouldn’t feel like eating here even though the food tastes good.
Hangouts:
The basement is the site of all underground and nefarious activities. It houses the engineering canteen and the medical canteen. (Medical? Well the engineering & medical colleges are in the same building & engineering studs share a special relationship with the medicals)
Festivals:
"Kalaraag" is RAIT's cultural fest that is purely dedicated to performing arts and English, Hindi and prominently Marathi theatre. HORIZON - the inter-college fest. Niyantran, TECHKNOW, TECHMATE, Whizion are other festivals.
Placements:
Records are good and average salary offered was around Rs. 3.25 lac p.a. for the previous year.

Verdict:
Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology (RAIT) is not monotonously boring. Infact it is daringly different. A healthy mix of both education and entertainment. So if you plan to be an engineer with a difference then RAIT is the place to be in.
