The college has a strong support by Dr. Indu Shahani, the former sheriff of Mumbai. The number of clubs that the college has makes sure that every student can pursue their hobby/interest/sport.To sum it up, it has been an amazing experience.

The course curriculum was really good. It covered most of the basics of Financial Markets. It can help in creating a good base for someone who wants to make a career in Finance.

Fees and Financial Aid :
There is no scholarship or loan facility that I have heard of. Due to lower fees for junior college which was around Rs. 1000 annually and for degree college which was around Rs. 16000, college did not provide any scholarship. But there are some programs where the college offers scholarship post degree for foreign universities.
Campus Life :
Extra curricular activities are amazing. The college truly promotes all types of sports. We have had national champions from our college and have got support from faculty for their academics. There is no politics or ragging in our college. There a lot of cultural societies and every occasion is celebrated (festival, valentines, chocolate week). We have an annual international trip also. In all, the extra curricular activities are very good.
Hostel Facilities :
I did not opt for Hostel. But there are a few Hostel Options near college. Ex. Indians Student Hostel. I'm not really sure about the rates but the canteen is very affordable and an average meal does not cost more than Rs. 100.
Alumni/Alumna :
Our college boasts of a very strong Alumni. Ranging from industrialists to Bollywood actors, there alumni network is really strong. The alumni keep coming back to college to give us an insight about our future path. The seniors and alumni have been a constant pillar of our college and the interaction that I have had with them at various stages in my college life have helped me grow.

The admission process is simple. For junior college, you have to put your preferences and you get your college allotted as per your preference and percentage.
