Atharva College of engineering review by a person who has completed his first year
***PROS***
attendance is lenient like actually very lenient some people don't come yet have 85-90 percent attendance here
it is very near the metro station so it's not a hassle to come it's walking distance
The campus is soo good for college at this percentile it's big and many activities are held .The campus is fantastic i must say
if you're travelling via railway there are many buses you can take to reach college
5.events are alot and they are very good and this is coming from a person who doesn't like to go to events.
- the fees is cheap. only 1.06 lakhs for general and 0 yes 0 for sc/st .
7.the labs classrooms(except first floor) are so well made . class rooms have cushion seat which is a game changer and white board is used and labs most of them are equipped with a well computer mainly i512400 and also big monitor. I must say they have done very very good job in this thing. and yes college has so many plants and trees . and is very clean I think this makes it very good.
***CONS***
1.if your coming via ils it's very hefty and it's not recommended to take it
The canteen is an absolute 🐶 💩. the food is not really good and it's expensive
speaking of the canteen there is no place to sit. because this college has SO MANY COURSES OH MY . there is university then bsc ones then cookery then hotel management there are literally so many courses.
non autonomous, university checks 💩
most of the people here are marathi speaking so if you don't you will have a very hard time bonding which I seem to have(crowd in general is absolutely garbage)
at this percentile at least for general many people were getting colleges like thakur shyamnarayan which is a bit better because of the thakur brand but even then you can take lr tiwari which is autonomous but I can still see why they will not pick as thakur is very new (no placement records)and lr tiwari is known to have very bad crowd and placement and campus seems to be worse so you can just survive 2 years of non autonomous for better of rest.also the college does not provide question banks for internal exams (most college do) so you will have hard time scoring and cg would be low
but i kid you not there are some people are picking this over st Francis there is no way in the world that atharva is better than st Francis . st Francis is to be picked over atharva. atleast for now
- The last point is that the area is soo bad i kid you not the college campus area and the outside area looks like day and night . the area is bad slums just are there after which isn't much of problem but there is so much construction. there is always so much dust . and the trees are less and there is no place to eat outside there are barely any food stalls . I don't even eat anything here in the malad area. the area is worse than kurla
and yeah if you're coming from a local railway well it's 3km and buses are crowded when coming from college to station you will be lucky sometimes if you even get to enter inside the bus it's so cramped. plus many people come from virar nallasopara side so they have to get cramped the second time when coming from railway . it's hassle. and yes the local xerox guy is also graduate from atharva so ☠️☠️
