MTech MECHANICAL (K.J SOMAIYA)

I would say, it's upto you as to how you make the most out of the opportunities you get at the college.Personally I felt the experience to be rewarding, made great connections and experienced beautiful moments during all those 4 years of Engineering.KJSCE has a well maintained beautiful campus, surely amongst the best in Mumbai. Good sports amenities and facilities. Good engineering crowd, many gujjus because of the minority quota, so you will have to deal with hearing Gujarati, a LOT. Though I don't know about other departments, but the Mechanical engineering department indeed had smart students. The Mechanical Engineering department boasts the best Formula Student team in India (at least when I graduated it was). They even had many other teams which participated in BAJA, Shell Eco Marathon, Robocon etc. However, the one thing common across all the departments is that you can find the alumni in top colleges like Purdue, Georgia Tech, UMich Ann Arbor, NYU, CMU, Cornell etc. pursuing their Masters.A few cons are that there's no cutting edge research going on for the geeky types, won't get funding for projects easily, shit placements. Being in the heart of Mumbai, if a college can't bring in top companies, it's a shame. There's a lot of talent but they aren't given great placement opportunities. Majority of the students find it on their own through their connections. (Accenture, TCS & Infosys aren't considered great opportunities by me).The college has become autonomous and thus I hope it takes some lessons from Universities like BITS and IITs so as to introduce a much more diversified learning exposure, internships, student exchange programs with top universities, etc. It's important that students are exposed to subjects that matter in the real world along with the core engineering curriculum. Introducing a good curriculum can attract consulting and finance companies too for placements.Anyways if you get admitted here, you won't regret it.

Infrastructure-Average, Class Infrastructure-Average, Lab infra- Good you will get very good instruments to use like DSO Spectrum anlyzer.and stuffFaculty- Good,Most of them are phd holders but you will have to show intrests yourself to get Knowledge out of them.Sports-Very good good playground Batminton court TT tables,Carrom and cricket ground also good for atheletes as it has a nice running course arround the ground.Beleive it or not Farhan Akhtar used to practice here while shooting for Bhag milkha bhag.Extra curricular Activites-Very good,Good for Social activites too a seperate council is present for social activitesTechnical Events-Every department will have its own technical event every year.Participates in ROBOCON and Orion events which makes a racing car every year.As now it has become autonomous internship options are also getting betterPLACEMENTS-Good mostly many companies come every year ,but also depands on the market scenario that year mostly IT jobs.Core Companies do come but again it depends if you are lucky.Assignment wise you will surely get less of assignments here than any other Engineering colleges in mumbai.I was very much impressed by this.you will get good amount ot time to pursue your independant research or participate in many other activites you would like as you will be less burdened with assignments.Overall Experience for me was very good made lot of good friends and enjoyed to keeping the rapo and balancing the study.It all depends on how you want to use the freedom and resources that are available, But lastly i will say I am VERY PROUD TO BE A K.J.SOMAIYATE.

Yes the college itself provides internships to PG students however all details of different Summer and Winter internships are mailed to students on a regular basis. They provioide so much internships in mails that even a complete class would be provided with internships.

Best place to get placed. As it is one of highly reputed and best college in MUMBAI, all best and good package providing reputed companies visit the campus for placements. the highest package would range over 12 LPA but the lowest wont be lesser than 5-6 LPA.

The fee structure is a little harsh but if one belongs to EBC category then he gets half fees back as per governments policy. Also if u cracked an exam like GATE then the college itself provides you a scholarship of 50% waiver of its annual fees. The fees are almost double of what they are incurring than other colleges but the quality and the campus you get in return for it would literally make you believe that the fees is worth ity or even you would think that they are charging less for it

KJSCE has numerous co-curricular and extracurricular activities throughout the year and 3 major festivals, namely, Abhiyantriki, Skream, and Symphony.The crowd at KJSCE is amazing.There are many opportunities to grow as an individual and the infrastructure is appreciable too.Cannot completely express my views here but it is one of the best colleges in Mumbai. Apart from academics , it has various extra curricular opportunities too. The labs are well equipped. Numerous sports facilities available, huge campus, and number of other things. Staff wise mechanical engineering is great, don'know about other departments. There are a very few cons too but they are minor and all colleges have those to some extent. Overall a great college.

The college conducts its own Entrance test for admission to UG as well as PG courses. Also for PG courses there are two interviews a student has to crack for admission purpose. The syllabus of the test is on the previous studies you have done, for eg. for PG in Mechanical Engineering the syllabus is almost same as that of GATE and the theory subjects one has studied in his bachelors and interviews are based upon the course you have opted for in this college. However the difficulty level is quite low for the test as well as the interview and even average students can crack them.
