Attendance: Patkar College is quite strict when it comes to attendance. Though 75% is compulsory, sometimes 60-65% is also tolerated. Below this mark, either parents are called or the student are harassed during submissions.

Crowd: Since Patkar has a Maharashtrian Quota, majority of the students are Marathi. Science, Commerce and Arts crowd is just about okay with no pretty faces and charming personality. On the contrary, BMM crowd is way above average and definitely raises the bar of Patkar College. ‘Probably every year you see a foreigner student in the Science department’, as said by one of the boys with a smiling face. Overall the crowd is pretty much serious and studious but you can expect some great participation in extra curricular activities from the Arts and BMM fellows.
