Yusuf Thanawala's Review On Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute - [VJTI], Mumbai

One of the best in civil engineering. Proximity to my city & moreover faculty & placement of this college. Only colleges in this category were SPCE & COEP for the Civil Branch. I was having doubts as to whether should I go for Mechanical or Civil but then I decided Civil was a good option. However, I feel Civil Engg nowadays has less scope for budding Enggs. Placememt wise VJTI is top ranked. You can expect 10 lpa for a non core job(finance related). But Jobs in Core branches is very limited. For CS/IT VjTI is the best option in Maharashtra because of its ability to attract large no. of companies (Being in Mumbai, oldest college, great alumni network, Great TPO for CS/IT etc.)

Being an autonomous institute, it has the latest possible syllabus for its student. Industrial exoerts regularly visit our campus as alumni or by invitation. Faculty wise core subjects are unbeatable like Prof KK Sangle from the Structural Department. Also, Prof Vivek B. Deshmukh from Geotechnical Department is a renowned consultant in the field of Geotechnical Engg. Other Faculty for Hydrology (Prof Pravin Chaudhari) & from Geospatial ( Prof Mhaske) are to one extent very helpful and supportive. However I wouldn't say 'the best'for any other faculty i e for lab & theory courses of concrete Technology or for Construction Materials.

Many Maharashtrian politicians are vjti diploma holders. Alumni network for jobs is excellent because many of the graduates are internationally placed in MNCs. Placement process is very smooth in regards to formalities. There are also courses to improve your confidence during interviews. Mock Aptitude test are conducted for technical rounds. Best placement for branches like CS, IT, Extc and Tronics students. However core jobs in Btech level are bit scarce.

Technovanza is annual Technical festival of Vjti having crowds of 10000+ people. Enthusia is sports festival with 500+ people and Pratimb is cultural fest of vjti with 500+ people. College has funds allocated for all 3 festivals and even encouraged to participate during break hours.

Infrastructure is the only area where VJTI severly lacks. Interior are slowly renovated each year by year. But exterior is a bit lacking because of its age( founded in 1800s). However, campus is huge and greeny and the neighborhood is quite upscale because it is in Central Bombay.
