context_page_description: The Parshvanath College of Engineering was a private engineering college located in Kasarvadavali, Thane district of Maharashtra state in India. It was established in 1994, and was managed by the Parshvanath Charitable Trust. It was a Jain religious minority college. While it was functioning, it was affiliated to the University of Mumbai, was accredited by the All India Council for Technical Education of the Government of India, and was recognised by the Directorate of Technical Education of the state government of Maharashtra.
  It offered undergraduate education leading to the University of Mumbai's "Bachelor of Engineering" degree in any 1 of the following 6 disciplines: mechanical engineering, instrumentation engineering, computer engineering, information technology, civil engineering, and electronics and telecommunication engineering. The ordinary duration of these undergraduate courses is 4 years.
  In December 2012, following the conclusion of a case against the AICTE in the Supreme Court of India, the college was closed down, and all students were transferred by the DTE to other engineering colleges of the University of Mumbai for the remainder of their courses.
context_section_description: 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:
  Applied mathematics (first 4 or 5 semesters in each branch).
  Applied physics (first 2 semesters).
  Applied chemistry (first 2 semesters).
  Communication skills (second semester).
  Presentation and communication techniques (third semester of each branch).
  Environmental studies (fifth semester of each branch except civil engineering).
  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 had the following laboratories:
  Applied Chemistry Lab
  Applied Physics Lab
  Computer Programming Lab
  Engineering Mechanics Lab
  Language Lab (for the subjects of communication skills and presentation & communication techniques)
  Basic Electrical & Electronics Engineering Lab
  Sci Lab (for Scilab software taught in applied mathematics)
