What are the rules for awarding grace marks for engineering in Mumbai University?
Mumbai University offers grace marks if you fail in one subject in a semester. Let’s say, there are 6 subjects in a semester, and if you fail in two subjects, you won’t get grace marks. The university only offers grace marks, if you pass in all the subjects except one. The amount of grace marks allotted is 10%. If you fail a theory examination with 80 marks, then 10% of 80, i.e. 8 is given as grace marks.

Which is better Pune University or Mumbai University?
Both Pune University and Mumbai University are well-esteemed institutions in India imparting superior quality education. However, the one that is suitable for you depends on your individual needs and preferences. Some factors that are usually considered are location, campus culture, and research opportunities. It's advisable to research both universities and visit them in person if possible to make a wise decision.
In my opinion, however, Pune University has a much higher preference rate than Mumbai university. This is because of the following factors:
- Pune University has a better and well-structured curriculum in comparison to Mumbai University, especially in Engineering.
- The academic rules are more strict at Pune University and the number of backlogs allowed is also less than at Mumbai University thus maintaining the quality of Education.
- The exams are conducted consequently and little time is given for preparation. This makes it more challenging for the students and prepares them well for the future.
If you genuinely want to understand concepts and create amazing memories along with a lot of struggles, Pune University is for you. If you are looking for a laid-back campus life and a calm learning environment, then Mumbai University is best for you.
Among Mumbai University engineering and Pune University engineering which university is better in terms of syllabus methodology exposure and exam patterns?
Pune University is better in terms of syllabus, exposure and examination pattern.
- It is an older university and has better reputation.
- Pune University is more strict regarding academics. Examinations are conducted according to the academic calendar.
- The university follows an updated syllabus.
- It has a decent placement record. According to the recent highlights of Pune University placements, the average CTC offered was INR 6.50 LPA.
PU is more recognized. So, you will get better exposure, if you are planning on pursuing higher studies.
Which is better, Delhi University or Mumbai University?
Delhi University is a better option. It is a central university, while MU is a state university. DU receives humongous funding from the central government. Naturally, it stands much higher than any state university including MU. It offers better education, infrastructure, and research opportunities.
DU has hardly 100 affiliated colleges. So, it’s easier for the administration to make sure the education process is smooth. MU has over 1100 colleges. Handling so many colleges, hampers the fundamentals of education, at times.
Overall, DU is more organized and offers better education and learning opportunities.
What is better between an engineering degree from Mumbai University or from any autonomous institute like VJTI, KJ Somaiya or SPIT?
You may have confused SPIT (Sardar Patel Institute of Technology) with SPCE (Sardar Patel College of Engineering). SPIT is not an autonomous institute. The courses offered in SPIT are Computers, IT, Electronics, and Electronics and Telecom.
Deciding Factors:
If you are looking for any particular program, then you should narrow down your choice of college based on courses. If you are more college-driven then you should go through the following points to make the right decision.
- First, you should ask yourself about what do you want out of your engineering degree, whether it is academics, extracurricular, or co-curricular.
- Also, it depends on your future goals. Whether you want good placements, seek higher education, or go for start-ups.
VJTI:
Considering all the factors, VJTI is the best option.
- It is an autonomous college with a strong foundation. It also has a broad alumni base.
- All these factors result in better internship opportunities, better placing companies, and a better network in education.
- For extracurriculars, most of the engineering colleges in Mumbai offer almost the same opportunities. However, Thandomal, DJSCOE, and RAIT offer mesmerizing events. However, since extracurricular is not the sole factor of consideration, VJTI will be sufficient.
The placement statistics of recent years at VJTI are as follows.
|
Average CTC |
6.8 LPA |
|
Highest CTC |
27 LPA |
Academics and co-curricular do not depend on the institute only. It is what you make of it. VJTI is the best choice as it provides a good network and exposure.
Preference Order:
The preference order of the institutes other than VJTI is as follows.
- Placement- SPIT>DJSCOE>KJSCOE
- Reputation- SPIT>KJSCOE>DJSCOE
- Academics- SPIT>DJSCOE>KJSCOE
- Alumni- DJSCOE>KJSCOE>SPIT
- Extracurricular- DJSCOE>SPIT>KJSCOE
If you get admission to VJTI you should definitely opt for it. You should consider what course you are choosing and research about the facilities and placements. For example, CS at SPIT has better placement than ME at VJTI or any of the other colleges mentioned here.
Also, autonomous colleges have better administration in MU. They have a better examination schedule, quick result release and you will have higher chances of securing a good CGPA.
