KJSIEIT Course Admission 2026: Dates, Fees, Eligibility, Application Process, Selection Criteria

Admission to the Bachelor of Engineering in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at KJ Somaiya Institute of Engineering and Information Technology requires taking the MHT-CET exam, which is a 3-hour test for 200 marks and comparable in difficulty to JEE Mains. Candidates generally need to score around the 95th percentile to be considered eligible. The primary admission pathway is through the centralized admission process (CAP) conducted by the CET cell.

The institute prioritizes Maharashtra state candidates before others. The seat allocation is divided with 80% filled through the CET and 20% through JEE Mains. Additionally, there is a minority quota, with 51% of seats reserved for students from the Gujarati linguistic category. Admission applications typically start around April through the official website. The admission process is merit-based and structured, making it straightforward. While the average package for placements stands at approximately 9 lakhs, salaries for Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) graduates tend to be higher, averaging 11 lakhs.

The proximity to Thane and Dombivli is another advantageous factor for students considering this institute over others like DJ Sanghvi and SPIT, which have higher cut-offs.
