• Warning for mobile phone addicts:
• Atharva College of Engineering has been enforcing a ban on bringing mobile phones within the campus. Violation of this rule is said to attract a hefty fine as well as confiscation of the mobile phone.

Faculty:

• There is a mixture of experienced and new faculties which keep changing often. If you can comprehend what they are trying to say then they are very helpful. Computers and IT students are pretty satisfied with their department. Elex and EXTC are not of the same opinion but are not completely against the respective dept. Having said that, students find their professors very friendly and doubts are always welcome with a smile. Lectures are conducted in English but some casual teachers prefer to teach in Hindi and Marathi, too.

• Attendance:
• Atharva College of Engineering is lenient in terms of attendance. Students having attendance below 60% are put into defaulters list and are made to write assignments. No strict action is known to be taken. Attendance is compensated if the student is participating in any event for the college.

• Fees:
• INR 74,205/-year
• Crowd:
• Not something to brag about but yes you can live with them. Boys to girls ratio is pretty healthy. Students take part in the college festival and other extra curricular activities. You might meet a lot of spendthrift crowd in ACE. Being a second rung of college, you will not meet a lot of toppers here. Students from the northern and western suburbs are in heavy numbers.

• Canteen:
• Oh, it's really good. There are numerous canteens run by the hotel management institute of the same trust. It is spacious and serves delicious food at affordable prices. The Chinese is a must have. They also serves non-vegetarian food on selected days of the week.
•  
• Hangouts:
• If you are a foodie then try Uncle's Kitchen - 10 mins away. There is this Ashish restaurant nearby where many Atharva students are found.If going to the mall still impresses you, you may try the Raghuleela mall (some food joints and some gaming zones in the mall) - 10 mins and Infiniti 2 - which is like one stop destination for all youngsters. Beach and party lovers can spend some rocking time with their friends and loved ones on Marve and Aksa beaches. Movie lovers can catch up with latest movie at Movietime, Infinti, InOrbit and Raghuleela. And for those who want to get their hairs down after the sunset, there are some classy restobars like Galaxy, Poptates - Jugheads, Slice of Lime, Kareems, Northern Tadka, etc.
