Admissions

Admissions to the seats (not reserved for the Jain religious minority) of the first year of undergraduate engineering programs (for students completing class 12) are carried out via the Centralized Admissions Process (CAP) of the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) of the state government of Maharashtra.[6] Scores of undergraduate engineering entrance examinations is used: 85% of CAP seats are filled using the Composite Score came after Joint Entrance Examination score and HSC score (Maharashtra state students only), and the remaining 15% of CAP seats are filled using the Composite Score came after Joint Entrance Examination score and HSC score (students for other Boards of Education).

Civil Engineering

This department has the following laboratories:

Applied Sciences and Humanities

Students at the applied chemistry laboratory of the college.

The department of applied sciences and humanities did not offer any degrees of its own. It supported the curriculum of other departments by offering courses in the following disciplines:

Students at the language laboratory (for the subjects of "communication skills" and "presentation & communication techniques").

In the 4-year Bachelor of Engineering curriculum of the University of Mumbai, the first year (i.e., the first 2 semesters) is common for all engineering majors. Thus, first-year students of the Parshvanath College of Engineering were managed by the department of applied sciences and humanities, rather than the departments of the engineering branches that they had taken admission in.

The department of applied sciences and humanities has the following laboratories:[11]

Library

The college library was equipped with 22843 books covering 5025 titles. It was spread over an area of about 400 square meters.
