Atharva College of Engineering (ACE), Malad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atharva College of Engineering was initially founded in year 1999 at Borivali (W), Mumbai. It was located in a temporary building adjacent to MK college and in the premises of a junior school in Borivli.
Later on, it moved onto its own campus in Charkop, Malad (W) in the year 2001. As of now (year 2006) the college has three streams of engineering taught here - Electronics and Telecommunication, Computers and Information technology. The prescribed strength of each class is 60 although it is normally exceeded by 10-15 students.
The building infrastructure especially the reception area and the office is very aesthetically pleasing. The canteen, too, was beautiful until they halved it in size to make room for another classroom. Now it is just plain overcrowded. The college canteen once had Landmark Hotel (from Link Road, EVershine Nagar) catering for them, but now the current caterers serve poor quality&quantity food at reduced rates. The dishes are usually a health hazard in themselves.
The Engineering building also houses the management section which is on the 4th floor. The adjacent building houses the catering section and also a canteen that is manned by some of the catering staff.
There is also a swimming pool on the campus which is solely for use of the Club members. Students aren't allowed as of now to make use of the facilities.
Attendance, has now become a stricter policy for a college that was once accused of being too lax. Discipline of the students is a priority of the management.
Shri Sunil Rane is the Secretary of Atharva Educational Trust. Currently, the once dubious college has acquired a reputation and good standing. However, the state of equipment in its labs (as with any other college) do leave a fair amount to be desired. Prof. Varsha Bhosale is now the new Vice-Principal of the college.
