Which is better, 'KJ Somaiya - Electronics engineering' OR 'Vivekanand - Electronics and Telecommunication engineering'?

Having known some people studying in these colleges, I can tell you that both colleges are really good in their own ways. But, you should consider the following before you make any decision: KJ Somaiya has slowly improved over the years and now is considered much better than Mumbai University (MU). Vivekanand is known to keep track of attendance which is not the case with KJ Somaiya. If you are considering doing Electronics, you should know that Electronics and Telecommunications has an upper edge. The exams at KJ Somaiya are tougher than MU. This is because MU repeats a lot of previous years’ questions. You will get a 5 day holiday in MU before a semester paper. At KJ, you will only get a day or two. Therefore, at KJ, your exams will be hectic. The semesters end pretty quickly at KJ as opposed to MU. MU students only get one month’s leave after a semester ends. For KJ, this leave is for 2 months. You can utilize this time to look for internships and other activities that will help strengthen your resume. Electronics has a few subjects like digital communication which might overlap with telecommunications.

It will finally depend on where your interests lie and what you would like to do. Find out if you are more interested in telecommunications or just core electronics, then choose accordingly. Electronics will teach you more about electronic components, circuits and other basic ideas that might be required in general electronics. Telecommunications will only give you a deeper understanding of communication technologies.

The VESIT experience

The total fee on average for all 4 years per year would be around Rs.1,18,000 which seems pretty affordable however they offer 50% EWS relaxation at the college In my final year, we had a project on campus where I got to work with research students and understand industry-level software like Cadence

VESIT - A blend of all experiences

The fees for general student is around 1.2-1.4 Lakhs per year. The students of other categories have comparatively less amount as their annual fees. The eligible students can take a scholarship from MAHADBT site and we have a scholarship team which notifies the students about the date of application, documents needed, etc. through emails and WhatsApp messages. There aren't any campus employment available while you are a student at the campus but once students graduate, they can secure a good salary job through the campus placements.

All about VESIT

There have been cases where paper checking was done incorrectly on purpose to extort rechecking fees from the students.

The total fees for a male general student would go around 6 lakhs as yearly it is around 1 lakh 25 thousand. But there are ample scholarships provided by the college to reserved caste studentss and for the general, theres the ebc scholarship available too.
