VESIT Admission Process
VESIT has no management quota. All seats are allotted through DTE Maharashtra CAP based on merit. The Sindhi linguistic minority status means 51% of total seats are reserved for Sindhi-community candidates, and the remaining 49% are open to all eligible candidates through the general merit pool.
BE Admission (First Year)
- Maharashtra candidates - eligibility: Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) group. Minimum 45% aggregate (40% for reserved categories) in PCM subjects. Valid MHT-CET 2026 score in the PCM group is required.
- All-India candidates: JEE Main 2026 score. Apply under All-India candidature for seats outside the Sindhi minority quota.
- Selection: DTE Maharashtra generates a state merit list based on MHT-CET percentile. There is no institutional entrance test or interview at VESIT.
- Minority quota: Sindhi-community candidates must produce the relevant minority certificate at the time of document verification to claim minority seats.
MHT-CET cutoffs at VESIT for Computer Engineering and IT have historically been in the high-90th percentile for the open category. The Sindhi minority quota often closes at a lower percentile, creating two distinct merit lists per branch.
BE Lateral Entry (DSE)
- Eligibility: Three-year diploma in an engineering discipline recognised by Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education (MSBTE). Minimum 45% aggregate marks.
- Route: DTE Maharashtra Diploma to Degree Entrant (DSE) CAP. Direct admission into the second year (third semester) of BE.
ME and MCA
- ME eligibility: BE / B.Tech in a relevant discipline with 50% aggregate. Valid GATE or MHT-CET PG score.
- MCA eligibility: Any graduation with Mathematics as a subject (10+2 or graduation level). Valid MAH-MCA-CET score.
- Both routes: Maharashtra PG CAP - merit-based seat allotment by DTE Maharashtra.

VESIT Campus and Infrastructure
VESIT’s campus is located at Hashu Advani Memorial Complex, Collector’s Colony, Chembur, Mumbai - 400 074. Chembur is well connected by the Mumbai suburban railway (Chembur station on the Harbour Line and the Monorail corridor), making daily commuting feasible for non-hostel students from across Mumbai.
The campus houses dedicated departmental laboratories for each engineering stream, a central library, and computer and electronics labs. Separate hostel blocks are available for male and female students, with annual fees ranging from INR 1,10,000 to INR 1,60,000 inclusive of accommodation. The campus also has a cafeteria, sports area, and a seminar hall used for technical events and workshops.
The VES group runs a wider campus ecosystem including VES College of Arts, Science and Commerce and VES Polytechnic, which share the Chembur precinct. This allows cross-discipline academic interactions for VESIT students.
VESIT vs TSEC vs KJ Somaiya College of Engineering
Aspirants securing high MHT-CET percentiles (85 to 97 range) in Mumbai commonly compare VESIT with Thadomal Shahani Engineering College (TSEC) and KJ Somaiya College of Engineering - all three are University of Mumbai affiliated private engineering colleges with comparable fee structures and DTE Maharashtra CAP admission.
| Parameter | VESIT, Chembur | TSEC, Bandra | KJ Somaiya College of Engineering, Vidyavihar |
|---|---|---|---|
| NIRF Engineering Rank (2025) | 251 to 300 band | Not in top 300 | Not in top 300 |
| NBA Accreditation | Yes (multiple cycles) | Yes | Yes |
| Total BE Fee (General) | INR 6,20,000 | INR 6,00,000 | INR 6,00,000 |
| Minority Reservation | 51% Sindhi minority | 50% Sindhi minority | No minority reservation |
| Hostel Available | Yes | No (day-scholar college) | Yes |
| Location | Chembur (eastern suburbs) | Bandra (western suburbs) | Vidyavihar (central) |
VESIT has the advantage of NIRF recognition and on-campus hostel facilities among the three. TSEC draws from the Bandra location in western Mumbai, appealing to candidates from the western and north-western suburbs. KJ Somaiya’s Vidyavihar location serves the central corridor well. All three operate through the same DTE Maharashtra CAP merit process, making branch selection and cutoff the primary differentiator for aspirants.
