Ques. What is the seat intake for B.E. EXTC at VESIT, and how is it different from other branches?
Ans. The approved intake for B.E. Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering at VESIT is 120 seats for First Year (FE) and 12 seats for Direct Second Year (DSE/lateral entry). This is the second-largest branch at VESIT after Computer Engineering (180 seats) and Information Technology (180 seats). Out of the 120 FE seats, 51% are reserved for the Sindhi Linguistic Minority quota, and the remaining 49% are open/general category seats filled through the Maharashtra CAP process. Admission is based on MHT CET 2026 percentile (for Maharashtra State candidates) or JEE Main 2026 score (for All India candidates).
Ques. Is EXTC a good branch at VESIT compared to CS/IT branches? What do seniors say?
Ans. EXTC at VESIT has a strong academic reputation and a dedicated department with experienced faculty. While CS/IT branches tend to attract more IT company recruiters due to the nature of the roles, EXTC students at VESIT benefit from a dual advantage - they can apply for both core electronics/telecom roles and IT/software roles. According to student reviews and Quora discussions, EXTC students who develop strong programming skills alongside their core electronics knowledge tend to perform equally well in placements as CS/IT students. The branch is particularly recommended for students interested in embedded systems, IoT, wireless communications, or VLSI, where EXTC-specific knowledge gives a clear edge over pure CS graduates.
Ques. Does VESIT have a hostel facility? What are the approximate hostel charges?
Ans. VESIT itself does not operate a hostel on campus. However, the VES (Vivekanand Education Society) group operates a separate hostel facility - VES Hostel - which students can opt for independently. The hostel is not mandatory and is managed separately from the college. Hostel fees are not included in the college fee structure. Students interested in hostel accommodation should contact the VES Hostel directly or visit ves.ac.in/ves-hostel for details and current charges. Many students also opt for private PGs and accommodations in the Chembur area, which is well-connected by road and rail.
Ques. What is the fee structure for B.E. EXTC at VESIT for OBC/SC/ST category students?
Ans. The fee structure at VESIT varies significantly by category. For OBC/EBC/SEBC category students (Maharashtra Board), the tuition fee is Rs. 65,652 per year, making the total annual fee approximately Rs. 87,729. For SC/ST category students, the tuition fee is Rs. 0, and the total annual fee is only Rs. 2,381 (Maharashtra Board), covering only development fees and other minor charges. Female students from EBC/OBC/SEBC/EWS categories admitted through CAP get 100% tuition fee waiver, paying only Rs. 22,077 per year (development and other charges). These concessions are applicable only to students admitted through the Maharashtra CAP process and require submission of relevant category certificates at the time of admission.
Ques. What is the difference between B.E. EXTC and B.E. Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at VESIT? Which should I choose?
Ans. Both EXTC and ECS are electronics-based branches at VESIT, but they differ in their secondary focus. B.E. EXTC (Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering) has a stronger emphasis on communication systems, signal processing, antenna theory, wireless and optical communications, and telecom networks alongside core electronics. B.E. ECS (Electronics and Computer Science) has a stronger emphasis on computer science subjects like data structures, algorithms, operating systems, and databases alongside core electronics. If you are interested in telecom, wireless communications, signal processing, or defence/aerospace electronics, EXTC is the better choice. If you are more inclined towards software development, embedded computing, or want a stronger CS foundation with electronics, ECS would suit you better. Both branches have similar fee structures and placement opportunities at VESIT.
