MES Abasaheb Garware College BCA Review By Kanishk

This institute is situated on the Karve road which is really easy for commute. This place is recognised as one of the oldest education institute of Pune. It contains different buildings for each department and a large playground for sport related activities. It also has a large infrastructure and separate offices for each department. This college is well known for its history and art departments. This college has gained the status of autonomous college thus has more student centric syllabus.

I have enrolled in BCA (science) course which was introduced in 2016 in this college. This course is focused on career in Information Technology field. It opens many career options and helps in gaining much exposure in industry. The entry requirements are that the student must have valid id proof, previous school leaving certificate, any caste related documents if applicable, and must have cleared the merit list displayed by college. Eligibility to take admission is that the student should have cleared class 12th (PCB/PCM) with at least 50% marks from any recognised board.

The computer science department consists of well qualified teachers with Ph. D degrees in computer science and the teaching style is also good. Some teachers might not connect with students fully but the teaching style of them is really good. Teachers are eager to solve doubts and try to teach in an innovative manner so that all the doubts are cleared of a particular student. Each subject has the individual teacher who focuses on the subject as it is their expertise and experience.

The institute does have a placement cell, which was established in 2020, but the college placements are not up to the mark and the students might get issue with the placements provided by the college. There are very less placement opportunities.

The institute consists of the main building, new circular building, tutorial building, history building, commerce building, and many more buildings given to respective departments. These buildings contain classrooms, labs and library inside them. A specific floor and classrooms are assigned for lab and there is also a big sports ground available. The washrooms and water providing systems are also well maintained and available throughout the institute. The especially-abled students have access to lifts and have dedicated places to for them to sit.

College campus conducts many activities like events which are dedicated to specific department and have activities which are useful for the future of student. The CS department conducts CSA interface fest which consists of coding competitions and other extracurricular sport activities. Each department conducts their own activities with the special games. The college also conducts activities to spread social messages such as clean Pune initiative and many more activities which keep students aware about the historic figures and revolutionaries.
