KJ Somaiya Institute of Engineering and Information Technology - [KJSIEIT]: 12 answered questions

Should I Join Kj Somaiya College for Computer or take a drop and Aim for VJTI?

Mallika Bose

05 Apr 21

Between KJ Somaiya and VJTI, the latter is definitely better. Whether or not you should take a year drop that depends on you and how important is this year to you.

Comparison:

If you compare KJ Somaiya and VJTI, in terms of placement and higher education you will see that the best students from KJ Somaiya do get similar opportunities as VJTI students. One of my friends attended VJTI and got placed in a company that was one of the best to visit KJ Somaiya too. So, he has 4-6 colleagues from KJ Somaiya.

As long as brand value goes, after 5 years of the compilation of your course, no one will care where are you from VJTI or KJ Somaiya.

People will care if you are from IIT though because IIT brand-name sticks.

A word of advice, dropping a year to join VJTI may not be worth it. If you are going to drop a year, try to get into an IIT or IIIT.

Which college has better placements for CSE, KJ Somaiya or Thadomal Shahani?

Sushant Choudhary

22 Apr 21

Both of these institutions would definitely be on the list if you are planning your engineering from one of the many colleges in Mumbai.

Placement - KJ Somaiya:

It is one of the top management colleges in India. In the placement drive for the year 2020-21, it was observed that the highest CTC offered stood at INR 28.5 LPA while the average placement was around INR 10-11 LPA. More than 150 recruiters visited the campus. Some of the companies visiting the campus for placements are-

Amazon
Google

Ernst & Young
Deloitte
HSBC
SAP

Both of these colleges are among the best management colleges in Mumbai. You should take note, talk with the recent pass-out students to know the current placement situation. This will help in making the right choice.

Which is better for marketing, FORE, TAPMI, or KJ Somaiya?

Akriti Banerjee

17 Apr 23

FORE does not offer an MBA course, they offer a PGDM course. Also comparing them in particular one stream is a tough task as they do not publish a separate report, but below is an overall comparison table.

Colleges	Fees	Highest Package	Average Package
TAPMI	INR 16 Lakhs	INR 22.3 LPA	INR 15.7 LPA
KJ SOMAIYA	INR 19.18 Lakhs	INR 22.5 LPA	INR 12.28 LPA
FORE	INR 17 Lakhs	INR 30 LPA	INR 14.50 LPA

What material do we require for engineering drawing in KJ Somaiya?

Ishita Ghose

06 Jul 21

KJ Somaiya is autonomous. So the exams, i.e. test 1, test 2, and semesters will be carried out on AutoCad. Make sure you install Auto Cad on your desktop and start practicing immediately. This will help you get acquainted and speed up with the commands. Speed is important in examinations.

You will just need a compass, tractor, scale of the roller, and 0,5 mm pencil because the assignments are paper-based. Also during lectures, you should keep a roller scale and geometric compass.

For reference, you can read N.H Dubey or N.D Bhatt. N.D Bhatt is considered as the Bibel for Engineering Drawing and most faculties will recommend you to follow this book.

What should I prefer, IT from KJ Somaiya or CS from Vivekanand?

Ajay Patel

07 Apr 22

IT from KJ Somaiya is the better option. Since it is an autonomous college, you will get several benefits like -

At KJ Somaiya, some electives and inter-disciplinary courses are introduced from the 3rd year onwards. So, you can easily get a grip on the subjects. You won’t find much difference between the IT syllabus of KJ Somaiya and the CS syllabus of Vivekanand.
KJ Somaiya has its own start-up incubation cell. It is known as RiiDL. If you have a great project or startup idea, and you can manage to convince RiiDL, of the potential of your idea, you can get ample funding and resources. The institute also has an entrepreneurship-promoting body, BloomBox. If you have any start-up ideas, you can get their help regarding contacts and resources.
KJ Somaiya placements are biased towards IT and COMPS. Around 90% of students get placed in IT and CSE courses each year with an average CTC of INR 6 LPA.

These are the reasons that make KJ Somaiya a better option.

Which is better, EXTC in KJ Somaiya or IT in Vivekanand (considering I like both branches)?

Anupam Roy

25 Jun 21

Both EXTC in KJ Somaiya and IT in Vivekanand are very good courses to pursue, but let's look at some factors before making a decision.

Location :

The place where KJ Somaiya is located is a very good area.
There are two nearby railway stations Tilaknagar and Vidyavihar. So transportation is easier.
But Vivekanand is far away from Chembur and Kurla and it will take you much time to reach the college unless you get a monorail, but it is not available every time.
So, here KJ Somaiya will be a better choice.

Autonomous :

Autonomous universities provide the opportunity of taking up an internship or a full time job even before completing your 8th semester.

Campus :

The campus of KJ Somaiya is very beautiful and big in area with all the modern facilities.
They also encourage extracurricular activities.

Placements :

The placement of both the colleges are very good.
But students from EXTC in KJ Somaiya will have an advantage as they will be eligible to sit for both IT companies as well as core EXTC companies.

Categories	EXTC in KJ Somaiya	IT in Vivekanand
Course Fee	13.50 lakh	3.28 - 4.52 lakh
Highest CTC	12-25 LPA	8-10 LPA
Average CTC	8-10 LPA	6 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Reliance, L&T, Amadeus Labs, HCL, etc.	TCS, Accenture, Honeywell, Toyo Engineering, etc.

Hence, choosing EXTC in KJ Somaiya will be a better choice as its campus is very beautiful with all the facilities and you will also get better placement opportunities in this college.

KJSIEIT's campus is excellent. The faculty is extremely helpful. You must maintain a high level of academic performance throughout your career. Attendance should be kept at around 75%, and if you have a genuine medical condition, it should be at least 65%. There are numerous technical committees, including IET, IEEE, IETE, CSI, and others. There are numerous cultural and sporting events.

In terms of IT in KJSIEIT, it has a separate building that is amazing in comparison to the main building, and from a job perspective, if your skills are good, you can easily get a very good package, but you must be good at coding. More than 45 companies have visited our campus.
