Alumni/Alumna :
Alumni Network is the worst needs revamp as college is unable to bring them in for placements. No proper forum to interact and stay in touch. Seniors for the time in college were helpful. Later contact has subsided and relations continued as alumni only. Need to have a strong base and platform.
Admission :
Form was procured online and submitted via courier. There was only One round of interview in Mumbai for those who chose this location. Interview was taken by couple of professors. Post which there was a shortlist. There was no aptitude as such during this interaction.
Faculty :
Exceptional at that time. Expert and Knowledgeable professors back then. However, some were not that good. Most learning happened by self interacting with peers. Some were open to feedback while some were reserved. Some put too much emphasis on writing exams while mid terms and end terms accounted for 50% marks only.
