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.
From what I heard through my friends at VESIT, there are few faculties that struggle with simple math problems. While some faculties from KJS struggle with simple circuits despite being electronics teachers.
I also know about faculties at VESIT, who are actively engaged in research projects that are respected nationally. The same goes for KJS.
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.
Management: (Winning Institution - VESIT)
As far as management is concerned, KJS recently attained autonomy so things might be a little disorganized there. At KJS you might expect odd exam schedules and late exam starts.
VESIT does not have better management but is definitely a little more organized.
Campus Life:
VESIT does not have a very big campus. Moreover, a number of technical and non-technical events go on at VESIT, but it is not comparable with KJS.
In terms of crowd, KJS has a relatively chill vibe as compared to people from VESIT. But, clubs are much better at VESIT, e.g. CSI and IEEE. However, KJS also has a number of open events that you can participate in as well.
