KJSCE is a decent college and offers ample opportunities to excel academically. After becoming autonomous, the college has introduced dual degree and student exchange programs. Along with your engineering major, you can do a minor in another branch of engineering or in Marketing, Banking, Finance, Industrial Psychology, Languages, etc.
The faculties are cooperative and friendly. Placements are decent. CSE and IT branches receive better placement opportunities compared to the other branches. KJSCE B.Tech placements 2022 reports an average CTC of INR 7.15 LPA and the highest CTC of INR 13.66 LPA.
You may have confused SPIT (Sardar Patel Institute of Technology) with SPCE (Sardar Patel College of Engineering). SPIT is not an autonomous institute. The courses offered in SPIT are Computers, IT, Electronics, and Electronics and Telecom.
Deciding Factors:
If you are looking for any particular program, then you should narrow down your choice of college based on courses. If you are more college-driven then you should go through the following points to make the right decision.
VJTI:
Considering all the factors, VJTI is the best option.
The placement statistics of recent years at VJTI are as follows.
Average CTC |
6.8 LPA |
Highest CTC |
27 LPA |
Academics and co-curricular do not depend on the institute only. It is what you make of it. VJTI is the best choice as it provides a good network and exposure.
Preference Order:
The preference order of the institutes other than VJTI is as follows.
If you get admission to VJTI you should definitely opt for it. You should consider what course you are choosing and research about the facilities and placements. For example, CS at SPIT has better placement than ME at VJTI or any of the other colleges mentioned here.
Also, autonomous colleges have better administration in MU. They have a better examination schedule, quick result release and you will have higher chances of securing a good CGPA.
I have a few friends from KJ Somiya and they gave me some information regarding the required cutoff at the institute.
It is best that you keep patience until the last counseling round, which is, CAP-3. If you are a general category student then you won’t get selected in CAP-1, you need to wait till the last round or the spot round. Alternatively, you can also go for autonomous colleges instead of university colleges.
While choosing an institute the first thing you need to consider is the distance between the institute and your home. Except for this consideration, the overall rankings of these two colleges are quite close to each other But, if you don’t have any issues with traveling daily or staying in the hostel, then consider the following factors in order to choose the right institute.

Sports:
There is no comparison of KJSCE with VESIT, as the previous one has an extraordinary football turf. This institute also has a good badminton court and a running track.
Campus: Except for the campus of IITB, KJSCE probably has the biggest campus in Mumbai.
Both of these are pretty good options so choose according to your convenience.
While both colleges are reputed, you should compare a few parameters before making a choice. Here are some of them to help you decide.
Teaching:
Every college has good and bad faculties.
Don’t expect world-class teaching from either of these colleges. You will also need to figure out a lot of things on your own. You will also be able to figure out a lot of the study material by yourself. It will be better if you find someone, preferably a faculty to clear your doubts.

KJS offers Mechanical Engineering, which VESIT does not. So, if you want to pursue Mechanical, KJS is a clear choice. The environment at VESIT is more suitable for technical things as compared to KJS. So, choose the institute based on what you expect out of your degree.
KJSCE is an amazing institution in terms of academics, placements, and college life. The autonomous status of the college allows it to have a better curriculum as compared to Mumbai University and makes it comparable to the curriculum of the likes of VJTI. Some of the advantages that you might experience here are:
You will thoroughly enjoy the 4 years of your graduation and meet some amazing people and make great friends over here.
Yes, KJSCE is a good college for IT. You can also consider taking CSE here. Since the syllabus for these two branches differs by a few subjects.
Overall, KJSCE for IT is a good option. You will have a number of opportunities open for you to develop your career here.
IMI Delhi is the best option among the mentioned institute. It offers good academics and placement opportunities. IMI Delhi placements 2022 had an average CTC of INR 15.23 LPA and the highest CTC was INR 32 LPA.
The rest of the institutes are almost at par in terms of opportunities. KJ Somiya offers better campus life and peer learning opportunities, comparably.
In terms of placements, LBSIM and FORE are almost the same. However, FORE changes around 30-40% more than LBSIM.
Going by the statistics, your preference order should be - IMI Delhi > KJ Somaiya > FORE ~ LBSIM.
A few years back, one of my friends took admission at KJ Somaiya via the ILS quota in the department of Mechanical Engineering. There were around 12 seats available. The fee was the same for everyone, irrespective of the quota.
He filled up a form on the college’s website and a merit list came out based on their CET marks. My friend’s merit number was in the 70s. If you want admission, you will have to be physically present on the day of counseling along with the fee. They were called for admission based on their merit number. The number of seats available was displayed on an LCD for all the branches. As people took admission, it got updated. When your number is called, you will have to go to the table and select your branch.
This was the process followed a few years back. However, I do not think that there has been any change in the process.
KJ Somaiya College of Engineering is simply amazing, with the best campus and faculty. Excellent football field, badminton court, table tennis, carrom, and so on. Simple to reach. The canteen is reasonably priced and serves delicious food. Every event over there will be enjoyable for you.
Because your branch is mechanical, the crowd may differ, but all of the students there come from good families. Because of the cutoff, the Mechanical crowd is generally smarter than other branches.
There are many things you can do with your studies, such as joining a team that builds something. Orion Racing creates race cars, Redshift Racing creates ATVs, Onyx creates aircraft, and Team Eta creates fuel-efficient vehicles. You can also create your own project if you don't want to join anything.
