The bus stop at Poddar hospital is a walking distance away and has B.E.S.T buses that take you to Dadar which is the largest terminus for Western, Central and Harbour trains. From here as well as from a sea facing bus stop closer to the college you get B.E.S.T buses that take you to South Bombay.

Getting Admission

Students can join the college for the First Engineering (F.E.) batch, based on the following two criteria,
a)Their score in the MHT-CET (for Maharashtra students)
b) Their score in the AIEEE (for others).
Watumull also has SE admission for diploma holders (D.E.).

Faculty
