Admission: The teachers are really helpful and make sure we understand everything well. They even arrange special hands-on classes in HAL for more practical learning. Our classrooms have projectors, so we can see everything on a big screen and learn easily with videos and other tools. It's all about making things simple and easy for us students.

Placement: The college helps us find jobs in different companies and airlines. They keep us informed about new job openings in the aviation industry. They even arrange interviews for us to get hired. The starting salary is around Rs. 3,00,000 per year. They also place students directly in aviation printing companies in Hyderabad for mechanical jobs.

Campus: Living in HAL premises feels safe because of the air force area. HAL owns its buildings. The campus has Wi-Fi, a library with online resources, AC classrooms, a cafeteria, hostels, and a mess for food. They have cool labs for avionics and mechanical stuff. We get hands-on experience at the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited factory. Every day for a month, we focus on a different part of instruments and stuff. The food in the mess is just okay. It can be hard for out-of-state students at first. We also have access to the HAL hospital. Saturdays are for sports like cricket, volleyball, chess, and kabaddi. It's fun to chill and play on weekends.

Admission: The teachers at this college are top-notch! They use projectors to make learning easy for us. They're experienced and really know their stuff. The teaching quality here is better than at other colleges. I'm happy to be here!

Placement: So, none of the colleges here offer placement, meaning we gotta hustle to apply to airlines on our own. I checked out Dhule at Bombay Flying Club and applied to a bunch of airlines. Just gotta keep applying and hope for the best!

Campus: The labs are there, but we don't really use them. No Wi-Fi for students, unlike other colleges. The library is okay, but during exams, there's a shortage of books. HAL hospital is nearby, so no worries there. Classrooms are decent, but not great. If you're from outside Nashik, there are 2 hostels, but they're terrible. Can't live there, conditions are bad, not worth the money.

Admission: The teachers at this college were awesome. They really encourage us to discover our strengths. The way they teach is great, all of them are super smart and know their stuff.

Placement: I landed a job at HAL Pravara Aviation Institute right after graduating. During my time there, the institute helped us find job opportunities. In my 6 years there, I ended up in a really good institute. HPAI also offers on-the-job training at HAL, giving students a hands-on experience with fighter jets.

Campus: The college has hostels on the air force station, which makes us feel safe. Our campus is in Hal, where we have labs, a library with Wi-Fi, and a mess that offers different types of food. The food quality is pretty good. Besides our textbooks, we also have access to aviation magazines and manuals in the library. It's cool!

Admission: The teachers know their stuff and the course is well-organized. They support us with tests before exams. The faculty are really experienced and the staff are helpful. We get lots of practice for A.M.E. exams with mock tests. They focus on key topics. The college handles the first 4 semesters and the University does the last 2.

Placement: The college helps us land great jobs, with almost 85% of graduates already working in top airlines. They work with technical training partners like Air India Engineering Services in Mumbai and Nagpur, Go First airlines in Nagpur, and Hal in Nashik. It's a great opportunity to kickstart your career in the aviation industry!

Campus: The college has a good technical library, a nice lab, and workshop. The classrooms are decent. They have a Mig 21 Engine for learning, along with a couple of Cessna 152 planes. The seniors here are awesome and really inspiring.

Admission: The teachers are really good and always ready to help out. They teach us both theory and practical stuff well. We get to work on real planes, which is super cool. The passing rate is around 75%, and the exams are not too hard.

Placement: You gotta find your own job here 'cause the college doesn't really help with placements. But don't sweat it, jobs are pretty easy to come by. Freshers can snag a sweet package of up to 6 LPA, with most landing around 2-3 LPA. Companies like Air India, IndiGo, and GoAir are good places to kickstart your career.

Campus: Classrooms are spacious, but there aren't too many. The college size is just okay. Labs have good equipment and are kept nice. Hostel rooms are good, and there's Wi-Fi. The food in the mess is pretty decent.

Admission: The teachers at our college are awesome. The classes are really helpful and prepare us well for the job market. The exams are tough though, you need at least a 75% to pass.

Placement: It's a bummer that none of us landed jobs because of the pandemic, but fingers crossed we all get placed soon. The pay ranges from around Rs.8,000 to Rs.15,000 per month. Right now, we're all doing our training at Air India Engineering Services Pvt. Ltd in Mumbai.

Campus: The campus has awesome facilities like Wi-Fi, a nice library, and good food. The hostel is pretty decent too. They have a sports day every year which is a blast. Overall, everything here is top-notch.
