RA Podar College of Commerce and Economics Mumbai Campus: Photos, Virtual Tour

The college was built way back in 1941 and the heritage building is where the classrooms and administrative offices are. The building may be old but the classrooms are hi-tech. The college campus is completely Wi-Fi and hence you will never find network issues in and around the college. The college has a well-equipped library and a huge computer lab accommodating nearly 50 students at a time. The canteen though is quite small but the food is good and reasonable. There’s a small gym on the college campus and students have the access to it.

The Matunga Gymkhana is just next to the college and students spend a lot of their time in Matunga Gymkhana. Sportsmen like Dilip Vengsarkar and Sanjay Manjrekar are frequent visitors at the gymkhana club. Overall the college infrastructure is not as advanced and hi-tech as some of its peers like KJ Somaiya and NMIMS for that matter.

Everything has already been mentioned but will still give a special mention to our teachers who were so easy to approach. Getting into Podar may be tough but once you are in the college will make sure that you will perform your best. Focus on academics is high but you will have fests and other events now and then. Mass bunk which I felt could have been avoided was a frequent issue during junior college years. The seniors are also very helpful and always help you with the study material that one should approach. I was not into sports and the college too didn’t provide me that opportunity so this part was a little sad.

The annual cultural fest Enigma where Podar hosted a large chunk of students is covered by all the leading news channels and newspapers of Mumbai. Last year's fest was something I never witnessed before. The event was graced by Sunny Deol and Sanjay Manjrekar who were also proud alumni of Podar. To sum it up, I have been in this college for last 4 years and I can proudly say I enjoyed my college life the way it should be enjoyed. This year due to the pandemic, students are not allowed but the college has taken care of the portions through online classes. Podar also has zero-tolerance against any wrongdoing against women and hence girls can feel safe here as nothing of this sort has happened in my time.Read Full Review
