Now a days as soon as u have finished with ur 12th exams or ur diploma..the nxt thing u look out for the college is ENGINEERING. Every TOM, DICK n HARRY want himself to b called as an Engineer as my self am one..hehehehe
i tell u when I was in diploma there were only 3 Engineering diploma holders in my bulding in Kalina, Santacruz... today there are as many as 23 people who r either diploma or degree holders or in course of it??? imagine!!!
i did my diploma from Vivekananda polytechnic in chembur and had to go to Aurangabad for Admission to B.E...there I was told u have been admitted to a college called A.C.P.C...in a remote village some where on mother earth ;).
THE ROAD TO HELL STARTS FROM HERE.....
the first day... I caught a train from kurla to vashi.. I knew that route very well as I had been on that route for many many times...i bet even I cant count it...but the guy who was also addmitted to that torture was with me was on this station for the first time..WHEN HE SAW THIS PANAROMIC STATION ..HE COULDNT IMAGINE HE WAS IN INDIA AND NEVER IN MUMBAI!!! WOW WHAT A STATION IT IS..I TELL U GUYS THIS IS A BETTER PLACE THAT ANY AIR PORT..FORGET ANY RAILWAY STATIONS IN INDIA... all stations after VASHI r really very very good and clean as well..
then caught a 7 No: bus to a village called KOPAR KHAIRANE....mann this bus is so crowded so crowded... that in case u travel in that bus for some yrs..ull get a feeling that u can live any where in the world with any amount of challenges..NEVER SAY DIE ATTITUDE COMES FROM HERE..THIS all is that an engineer is made up of..
coming to college...quite small...ok infrastructure and one grt thing about this college is that it is always improving on its infra structure...if not on studies....
LOCATION: A PLACE CALLED KOPAR KHAIRANE...25 MINS DIST BY BUS AND 15-20
MINS BY RICK FROM VASHI RAILWAY STATION..
BRANCHES: it ofers the following courses
INSTRUMENTATION (60 SEATS)
ELECTRONICS (60 SEATS)
ELECTRICAL (60 SEATS)
COMPUTERS (30 SEATS)
WITH THE BETTER COURSE for which this college is famous for is that INSTRUMENTATION..even some yrs before I think in 96 here was an UNIVERSITY TOPPER from this college....but since some vry good professors were removed by management people due to some bloody reason..the result has dropped but still the instrumentation branch always gets good result..as compared to other branches in the same instiute...
CLASS ROOMS: The rooms are quite small and are not very attractive... the building has two floors and a ok seminar hall (thats what they call it) in the college building itself.
PROFFESSORS: let me first tell u that in this department be it any college u will find the strangest people teaching strangest subject I the strangest manner... c the problem is that the guys who teach in engineering colleges are mostly form remote place of maharashtra or else where..with very rare exceptions ull find most of the professors having language problems..they dont have good communication skills and cannot explain the topic to students inspite of the fact that they may know that topic..but rarely..most often the dont know the subject themselves...
almost zero % mumbai university engineers r in to teaching in colleges...ALL GHAATI PEOPLE R INTO IT
BELOW R SOME QUOTE OF SOME GHATI PROFESORS PLEASE SPARE SOME TIME TO READ THEM
SIR: TAKE A COPPER WIRE OF ANY METAL
STUDENT: SIR, COPPER OR ANY METAL
SIR: NO COPPER WIRE OF ANY METAL
MORNING MORNING DONT ROTATE MY HEAD (SUBAH SUBAH BHEJA MAT GOOMA)
DRAW A CIRCLE OF ANY SHAPE
SIR: WHY IS THIS SO BADLY WRITTEM
STUDENT: SIR, I WROTE IT IN A HURRY
SIR: (THROWING THE JOURNAL), THEN FIRST GO CALL HARI (HURRY)
AND THE BEST ONE WHICH HAPPENED TO MY FRIEND IN ACP
SIR: YAAR I AM THINKING OF DOING MBA.. CAN I GIVE TOFEL IN MARATHI... and my friend was admitted to the hospital for a week for receving a lethal shock..
so same r the professors here.. but wait I TELL U SOME PROFESSORS IN THIS COLLEGE R THE BEST IN THEIR FIELD IN ALL BRANCHES OF THE COLLEGE..I STILL RESPECT THEM AND HATS OFF TO THEM. THESE R THE PROFS THAT MAKE APCE WORTH WHILE
CROWD: The crowd here is ok and it isnt too high fi and no too low like the ghatis..its intermediate..and I tell u its improving by the day..thats what I like about acpc...always improving.
GYM AND SPORTS FACILITIES the college once had a gym which was grt..but was scaped when I as in college in 98..now the collge has a very good cricket ground, a very good set of carrom boards table tennis tables and a fabulos badminton court...but the saddest part is that we were allowed to use all this only during the festival period..i mean 2 months of the year at its fullest..jan and feb or may b even march...any ways we dont have the time to play the rest of the year...
LABS
THE LABS ARE DECENT ENOUGH..I WILL RATE THEM 5 OUT OF 10..not too good neither too bad...but the colege does have a good computer center...
CANTEEN AND HOTELS AROUND
THE CANTEEN IS NOT THE BEST PLACE TO HAVE UR LUNCH AS OUR FRIENDS QUOTE ANNA TU AADMI JITNA ACCHA HAI NA TERA KHANA UTNA HI KHARAB HAI..ANNA IS THE CANTEEN OWNER... THERE R NOT TOO MANT HOTELS OR RESTURANTS AROUND..BUT STILL PEOPLE EAT AT THE CANTEEN WHILE OTHER PREFER THE RESTURANTS NEAR BY...ELSE IF U WANT TO PARTY THEN ULL GET ALL THE BEST RESTURANTS IN THE VASHI AREA.SO GO THERE FOR A TREAT...
i will tell u that what I liked best about the college is that this college is quite small and there r not too may people to over crow the place...there is space for every one ...
THE BIG PROBLEM IS THAT THE TRANSPORT TO THE COLLEGE IS A ROUGH ONE EVEN TOUGH ULL SURELY HAVE A BUS IN EVERY 15 MINS....
HENCE I RECOMMEND TO THOSE who dont expect too much from the college and have the will to face life...ACPC...
i tell u once u have entered this college ull be capable enough to face the worst situation in life by the time u exit this institute.
HOPE U GOT ME WHAT I WANTED TO SAY ABOUT THE COLLEGE IN MY LAST LINE OF THE PREVIEW...
the festival is called RHYTHMS...I THINK ITS OK...BUT JUST OK..... MIND IT....
