VESIT Admission Process
VESIT does not conduct an independent admission process. All BE, ME, and MCA seats are filled exclusively through DTE Maharashtra’s Centralised Admission Process (CAP) based on MHT-CET or JEE Main merit. There is no management quota at VESIT — the college has surrendered all institute-level quota seats to DTE Maharashtra CAP.
BE Admission
Eligibility for all six BE branches requires 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. The minimum aggregate is:
- General (Open) category: 45%
- SC, ST, OBC, and other reserved categories: 40%
Selection is based on MHT-CET percentile for Maharashtra-domicile candidates and JEE Main score for All-India candidature applicants. VESIT has 51% of seats reserved for candidates from the Sindhi linguistic minority community, allocated through DTE CAP within that pool. Non-Sindhi candidates compete for the remaining 49% seats through general merit. Maharashtra state reservation norms (SC, ST, OBC, EWS, VJ, NT, SBC, PwD, Ex-Servicemen) apply within each category pool.
Seats remaining vacant after all DTE CAP rounds are filled through Against-CAP Vacancy (ACAP) rounds at the institute level.
ME Admission
ME eligibility requires a BE or B.Tech in a relevant engineering discipline with minimum 50% aggregate and a valid GATE score. Admission is through DTE Maharashtra PG engineering CAP. The 51% Sindhi minority reservation also applies to ME seats within the DTE CAP process.
MCA Admission
MCA eligibility requires graduation in any stream with Mathematics at the 10+2 or graduation level and a minimum 50% aggregate. Admission is through MAH-MCA-CET scores via DTE Maharashtra CAP.
VESIT Placements
VESIT placed 393 students in the 2024 placement season with 408 job offers — a placement rate of approximately 80%. The highest offer in the 2024 season was INR 14.5 LPA. The median package for the 2023 batch was reported at INR 6 LPA. Computer Engineering, IT, and AI and Data Science branches see the strongest placement activity.
VESIT’s location in Mumbai gives its students access to the city’s financial services and technology sectors. Finance-sector recruiters — Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, and Nomura — make VESIT distinctive among Mumbai engineering colleges. The IT and consulting sector is covered by TCS, Accenture, Capgemini, Infosys, and Deloitte. Core engineering roles are offered by L&T, Emerson, and Siemens. Amazon and SAP Labs recruit for technology roles.

The highest package in 2023 was INR 29 LPA, which declined to INR 14.5 LPA in 2024 — consistent with broader industry moderation in hiring for FY2024-25. The overall placement volume (393 to 408 offers) remained solid across both years.
