Absolutely satisfied with all things.

Placements: The placement rate is high. Students start getting placed in the second year; 20% are placed in the first month of the second year. Godrej, L&T, and Impact Guru are just a few of the companies that come for on-campus drives. The highest package given was 22 LPA. Internships are coming in bulk; personally, I got four internships at Brezzy Media, Impact Guru, etc. We hire students as interns.

Infrastructure: As we all know, Mithibai is known for its social life. The college committed to Kshitij conducts cultural events that are famous in Mumbai. The library has AC and all books. Classrooms have AC, smart boards, projectors, microphones, etc. They do not offer hostels, but a charitable trust in Mumbai offers hostel facilities. They have good rooms and tasty meals. One thing that disappoints me is that the college campus is extremely small and feels congested.

Faculty: Teachers are good, but the vice principal is very strict; she does not entertain anything easily. 75% attendance is a must; if not, they put students on default. The course curriculum is copied by Mumbai University, which itself has an old curriculum. It makes students industry-ready, but the curriculum needs to change. Semester exams are not very difficult in class; more than 80% of students passed.

Other: We do not have a big sports field and campus. Not having enough holidays is one of the problems.

Relevant course curriculum!

Placements: My journey here is ever-memorable, for it nurtured and groomed me for the world. I am very thankful to the placement cell for providing so many opportunities every semester. My batch witnessed 60% placements in organizations like INX Media Ltd., Network 18, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is amazing, and you will love it. The library has a vast collection of academic books, novels, and journals, which is very important for an English graduate. Mess and canteen food is quite tasty. There is not much scope for sports in college.

Faculty: The course curriculum equips students with analytical and critical thinking skills to produce original insights in scholarly academic writing and discourse with a balanced spread over concepts, context, ideological shifts, and major trends in English. This helps a lot in the industry. All thanks to the teachers for their incredible teaching.
