    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.

    I'm satisfied with the faculty members of our college.
    Placements: Some of the top recruiting companies are ITC Limited, Airtel, Amazon, Bisleri, EY, Mercedes Benz, etc. Around 75-80% of students get placed in our course. The highest salary package offered is 1.5 LPA. Around 75% of students get internships in our course in famous companies. Top roles offered are psychologist, counselor, etc.
    Infrastructure: Classrooms are huge to accommodate a lot of students. Food served in the canteens is hygienic and tasty. Wi-Fi connection is great in computer labs. Hostels are very good and clean. They have spacious rooms. The quality of the food served in the mess is very good.
    Faculty: All the professors in our college are helpful and good. They teach students well. The pass percentage is 95%. The course curriculum is relevant. It makes students ready for the outside world. Exams are moderately difficult.

    Infrastructure: We have Wi-Fi in the college. There is a Library, Sound Lab, Studio, Whiteboard and classrooms with projectors. Every classroom has an iMac which everyone knows is the best for studies. The infrastructure here at DGMC is way too good and the facilities provided by canteen are commendable.
    Faculty: Interaction with faculty members is the best part of my education. The curriculum is very relatable and yes, it does make one industry ready. Taking about the difficulty level of semester exams, it is completely based on the child's ability to crack the examination.

    Can I expect any good college under Mumbai University for the computer science branch with 89 marks in MHT CET and 87 marks in JEE Mains?

    Answered 9 hours ago

    Even with getting 89 marks in MHT CET and 87 marks in JEE Mains, it is somewhat tough and really possible to grab a seat under Mumbai University for the Computer Science branch. It depends on category, availability of seats, and most importantly the cut-off trends of individual colleges.
