College Reviews HR College of Commerce and Economics, Mumbai

Big names fades away when HR comes to the picture.

HR always target a podium finish whenever it comes to academic or internet-collegiate events. In the aura of our principal every new day adds a new gem to the glory of HR. The crowd in HR is so supportive, it hardly takes 2-3 days maximum for outstation students to get comfortable with the college and this helps in getting away with the nostalgic felling of home. Albeit the rankings speaks for HR, but one may criticize HR only for not having the hostel facility. And at last but not the least the environment in college is so positive and always encourages you to go ahead and take the best of the situation.

It aids in your academic as well as personal growth

My college has been a really exceptional experience. Especially, in our course of mass media and my specialization journalism, we had exposure to the industry professionals as well as University professors at the same time which was a very apt combination. The college offers a lot of opportunities for curricular activities like its CHOICE club and several others like the language and international relations club. Every now and then, we had the chance of interacting with students from outside and also participate in exchange programs with the likes of University of Berkeley, California and Stanford University. One of my friends also went to Kings College in the UK for a short program in the summer. There are also some offers of complete scholarship but those also have strict and scrutinizing criteria. There is regular interaction through several conferences and seminars with the industry players like I have attended Raghuram Rajan's , Mukud Rajan's , Sonal Dabraal's lecture and Shabana Azmi's conference apart from many others. The Coordinator Ms Thanawala for the media department puts in a lot of effort to make sure we get to be a part of such meets. Overall, after three years of the course, you can actually boast of your skills in journalism and communication. We were fourteen people in the class of Journalism and none of us opted for campus placements although the college offered assistance. The media placement cell might seem a little lagging behind than others like the commerce cell due to the nature of the industry and mostly the choice of students deciding their own course of action post the graduation. The students of my class are now studying in the top journalism institutes like Xaviers, IIJNM, Asian College of Journalism etc. I had myself cleared the IIMC entrance in Delhi but I had other plans that I wanted to pursue. Some of my batch-mates from advertising are also pursuing their post graduation courses from abroad and many are working in the industry already. It is apparent that you would need to establish good relations with the industry people and lookout for your job prospects; you have to be an active student. Also, the college has a massive brand name and you will be easily hired in the firm of your choice with a good interview. HR College ranks in among the top brass institutions in the city, it has a broad alumni network which the college will often boast of. You would need to make complete use of this influence of the college. Regarding the canteen and the food, its quite good. there are limited choices but the quality is above average for sure. You also have lots of eateries just around the college as well. One may find the campus and infrastructure lacking if they had in mind a residential campus. It should noted that most colleges in Mumbai do not have a big campus or a hostel and neither does HR, we did have Marine drive as our backyard so it will be up to you on what is on your list of priorities. It is recommended not to join the college if at all you want to have an experience like a residential college which HR is not at all. It stands in the middle of Churchgate area and it is practically impossible to have a big campus there. You will have a number of other reputed institutions like KC, Jai Hind, Jamnalal Bajaj in a similar situation also present in the same area. Again, another thing lacking could be the administration's slow response sometimes and kind of hierarchy that you need to go through to secure permissions and forward applications etc but that is true of absolutely every college in Mumbai. This college stands somewhere in between when it comes to that. There is no dearth of Fests in BMM so you can be pretty reassured on that front, you will get to meet lot of students from the same course from across the colleges in the city through these fests. You should make sure you attend at least some of them, it is a part of the learning experience. I hope I have provided sufficient information for you to make an informed decision.

One of the best teaching faculties is at HR college. Great infrastructure even though there is less space for classes to be conducted, it is well managed. Good extracurricular activities plus excellent club events can only be found here. We have our own college football and basketball teams for both boys and girls.

All about H.R.

I have a very good experience with my college in terms of studies, placements and the faculty. It is one of the really good colleges in the country for commerce and offers a variety of courses and also diplomas. The college is in a very good environment which enables effective studying. It is good to see that they have automated many processes. They have a great system that updates students about exams, admissions, college fests, guest faculty, etc. Their infrastructure is also good. They have affordable fees for various categories. They have many concession providing facilities like local rail concession, air travel concession, express rail concession, etc. which provides financial assistance to many. To summarize, it is one of the really good colleges to study in which creates many avenues for our future.

The sweet sad memories

My college is known to be one of the top colleges for commerce in Mumbai. The crowd here is diverse with people coming from all areas and cultures sharing one similarity that is the love for the commerce field. My college doesn't only focus on academics but also other extracurricular activities and we have won many awards in different fests. The infrastructure and area are small to accommodate the large population yet space is used to its maximum. The college canteen has the yummiest Chinese and all the other items are good too. The faculty is well versed in the subjects they are teaching. All in all a great college to him in.

HR, you are going to love the college

HR College of Commerce and Economics is located at a very pleasant 5-minute walk from Churchgate station (W.Rly) in close proximity to the biggest business hub and one of the most beautiful landmarks of Mumbai - Nariman Point. The campus is pretty small (yet it is shared by another college - KC College of Law) and just consists of a single six storey building dedicated to HR College. All the classrooms are big enough to accommodate the students comfortably and are equipped with air-conditioners.Teachers are experienced and helpful, and most importantly good at teaching. The principal is a very understanding person, so the entire functioning of the system goes smoothly.HR College of Commerce and Economics is perhaps the most student-friendly in terms of attendance, especially in Degree college. Attendance is quite an important factor for students preparing for the Chartered Accountancy course along with Degree College and the students thus get great support from the college on that front. One of the finest and most sophisticated crowd you'll ever come across in a college not to mention the beautiful girls hanging out with the cool handsome guys - something that comes naturally to a Sindhi-minority college. Many students hail from rich family backgrounds and are seen around showing off their "new" bikes or luxurious sedans. Intelligent and smart kids are also aplenty; so it's up to you - which kind of company you wish to fall into.The canteen at HR College is very popularly known as "The Butterfly Cafe" not just amongst students at HR but also amongst students of other colleges in the vicinity. Don't think one bit if you get this college, you are going to love the college, the place, and the people you meet here the most. A great time is the least you can have here, and good learning goes along.

College life was a mesmerising. Miss those days

College was a great experience all in all. The faculty was quite helpful and very approachable. In spite of not having great infrastructure, our college manage to provide us the best facilitates they could. Canteen food is ultimate. They have a wide variety ranging from different cuisines. The placement cell was very proactive and did all there could in their capacity to help the student get placed in the best companies. All the staff of the college was very warm and welcoming.

One of the top two Commerce Colleges in Mumbai

HR College is one of the top two Commerce Colleges in Mumbai. It is very supportive of students that are trying to pursue careers outside the courses offered by the college as well. This has helped me a lot as I try to follow my sports career side by side. I have been in this college for the last year or so and have liked it a lot. The teachers present a student-friendly environment and make learning a fun experience.

Over rated college

I would say that this college does not maintain discipline. There are no rules followed for attendance. In fact grades are not given on fair basis. The college does not maintain standards as it should in order to maintain its high popularityi would say it is overrated among people.

The college of dreams

HR college is set at a premier location of marine drive . Close proximity to the railway station,many cafes restaurants, and hang out places make it and ideal place for students. The college has excellent infrastructure well lit well ventilated and ACs. The faculty bubbles and oozes out confidence,they teach to impart knowledge and are very approachable. People come from a variety of schools and homes but in HR there is unity and no discrimination,everyone had groups and takes home excellent college memories. Attendance is taken seriously but enough activities and extracurricular are provided that entice you not to bunk. And of course the very lip smacking canteen food which is wholesome and affordable gains 100s of student every day . HR is a college of dreams and once at HR always at HR. It is a second home for those who love HR.Getting admissions are really tedious because of the high cut-offs but it helps you to keep high academic standards right from the beginning .My years at HR have been memorable, joyful and very educative. i have taken home immense knowledge and a lot of friends.I miss HR every day and every memory will stay for a lifetime.

An everlasting experience of growth, exposure and friendship

My vivid memories are mainly of my friends who I spent immense time with. The college itself had an autonomous culture which prevailed across it and also motivated every student to be involved in activities. The ethos of H R was very different from other colleges. It is special place with high standard education, good canteen and a nurturing environment for personality development.

Lenient about attendance

A good experience that allowed me to focus on extra curricular activities and other projects. Lenient enforcement of attendance related punishments is a double edged sword that could work against the less serious and less disciplined students and non CA applicants. Well conducted examinations, a comfortable canteen and motivated teachers contribute to a healthy learning environment however the B.Com course is little more than rote learning that doesn't teach you any valuable skills for work life.

Provides good exposure to the industry.

I was initially a little hesitant coming to a new city and joining a college and course that wasn't so popular in cities other than Mumbai. But it has overall been a very nice experience. The college has a lot of seminars and visits from renowned people from the industry. The lack of an auditorium and camous has led to very little interaction between students of different courses and years. The faculty is good and we have a lot of visiting faculty consisting of young working professional.
