Akshay Sonavane's Review on A. C. Patil College of Engineering

The key companies which visit campus are mainly related to computer engineering and information technology. The salary ranges from 2 to 3.5l pa. The percentage of students placed is very less right now. Alumni are working in good companies.

There aren't any hostels. Students can live in apartments nearby by paying rent. PG options are available in plenty and rates is between 4000 to 7000 per person if students share the apartment. Food is average and cost depends on the food ordered. Each Classroom has a projector and lan connection. Classrooms, labs and corridor have CCTV installed and are under surveillance. Wi-Fi is also available. College has 4 elevators.

Eligibility criteria and procedure :

1) HSC Science with JEE SCORE for admission to 1st year of Engineering

2) Diploma passed with a good percentage for admission to direct second year. Admission are done through online process called CAP done by DTE Maharashtra. I had done diploma. So I got admitted directly to second year. There isn't any entrance test for diploma candidates. Only percentage matters. Cutoffs depends upon the seats available in that year. Mainly Cutoffs are not that high. For Diploma candidates the Cutoff may be between 75-80 % for open category and for other categories it depends upon the seats available

Class timings is from 8.30 am to 4 pm. Project, assignments and exams are as per Mumbai University. The quality of teaching is average. Overall experience is good

Right now the total fees is around INR 98,000 per year for open category student. The scholarships available are from state government such as for OBC, SC, ST etc which are caste based. The other scholarship is based on economic conditions which is also provided by stat government known as EBC scholarship given to financially weak students. A number of students getting scholarships depends upon there certificates and documents. Educational loans are provided by banks for which the college provides the letter.

Each department has there own student association and college has a main common student committee. Each department's association organizes seminars, functions and tech festivals. Main Committee organizes the cultural and sports festival yearly.
