Location:
St. Francis Institute of Technology (SFIT) is a 10 minute ride by rick from Borivali station(W.Rly.) and a 2 minute walk from the famous BHAGWATI hospital. Lots of buses are also available.
Infrastructure:
School-type infrastructure. The campus is huge and well maintained but not eye appealing. It is very clean. A gymkhana which boasts of Table Tennis room, carrom room and a chess room.
Facilities for outdoor games like throwball, football and badminton are available to the students.
Fees:
Rs. 56,100
Faculty:
Most professors have no knowledge of the subject. They have towering attitude problems and are always looking to find an opportunity to torture students. They want the students to be disciplined but are not even close to it themselves. Use rowdy and rough language.
Attendance:
Extremely strict. 90% attendance is recommended. However, the minimum must be 75%.
Crowd:
OK crowd. A mixture of all types of students are found, loads of catholics though. General life as such is nothing to write to home about. Friends, once made, become like a small family.
Canteen:
One of the worst canteens ever seen. The food is stale. Limited options in vegetarian. Smelly atmosphere.
Hangouts:
Fizzy, IC Colony itself is a hangout place. CCD, Banjara (Hukka joint), Laziz Restaurant and at a stones throw away is the famous pizza centre DOMINOS.
Festivals:
Mosaic (Technical Festival), Iris (Cultural Fest), Synergy (Annual Day). Good organization, good turnout and a decent bunch of activities. The only good days of the college life out here.
Placements:
Presently good companies like Wipro, TCS MAC visit.
176, 135, 118 out of 240 students were placed in the years 2008, 2007 and 2006 respectively.

Verdict:
From academic point of view St. Francis Institute of Technology (SFIT) is good, but life gets restricted when it comes to enjoyment.
