The B.E. curriculum at Datta Meghe College of Engineering follows Mumbai Universitie's Syllabus which covers fundamentals but feels outdated in core branches it and cs have better industry relevance but practical exposure is limited exams include unit test practical and semester and exams which are moderate difficult level the curriculum needs more hands on learning updated subjects and industry collaborations to better prepare students for real world challenges.

Admission
I chose Kathmandu College of Engineering Airoli over other options due to its location affordable fees and decent placements. I applied to other colleges but missed cut off due to high compensation the admission process at dmce is through mht-cet and JEE means with a cut off around 85 to 95 percentile for general category the process includes cap rounds, document verification and seat allotment making it systematic and straightforward for applicants.
Faculty
Datta Meghe College of Engineering Airoli has a 1:20 faculty to student ratio with most professors being approachable. IT and CS faculties are more supportive than core branches some professors explain concepts well while others rely too much on slides. The course follows Mumbai University's syllabus to choose partly outdated for core branches exams include unit test practical and semester and exams with a 40% pass mark.
Night Life
Nightlife around DMCE is limited as the campus lacks hostel the library and cafeteria close by 6 to 7 pm and there are no late night study areas. Popular hangout spots include Rockville Diner, Seawoods Mall and coffee shops near the station. The area is safe but quite at night with fewer late night options students unwind at restaurants or marine drive on weekends making city trips a common way to relax.
