₹ 11,225NIT Goa, VJTI Mumbai, and COEP Mumbai are well-known engineering colleges. The choice depends upon you. The following are the points to be considered.
All these colleges are at a similar level. So, you should choose according to your convenience. If you don’t live at any of these locations then your preference order should be COEP/ VJTI > NIT Goa. VJIT has a great placement record. The average CTC offered by the institute is 7 LPA.
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.
Comparing the mechanical branches of SPCE and VJTI, VJTI is the definite winner among the two, considering almost all factors like branding, faculty, peers, placement, etc. Mechanical Engineering is one of the best branches of VJTI.
The points below give a brief overview of VJTI and state several reasons supporting the choice.
Therefore, SPCE is in no way comparable to VJTI, the latter being a much better institute in terms of all considerable factors.
Having to know some people from both these institutions, I can say that both of these colleges are specialized in two different fields. Let me share some facts about both these colleges I gathered by interacting with them.
Categories | Project Management at NITIE | Project Management at VJTI |
Course Fee | 12.53 lakh | 1.65 lakh |
Highest CTC | 22 LPA | - |
Average CTC | 14 LPA | 5.5-6 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Deloitte, Dabur, KPMG, Marico, etc. | Bank of America, Barclays, Capgemini, Crisil, etc. |
Hence, there is no comparison between VJTI and NITIE. But one of my friends has recommended NITIE as in many aspects it manages to be better than VJTI.
For VJTI’s CS department, you are required to be in the top 150 students in CET. Alongside those, the IT cutoff as seen in a specific year was around the ranking of 325. These as mentioned are for a general female or male candidate.
The candidates who are to appear must however have scored more than 50% in 10 + 2 examinations from a recognized board of education. The Selection Criteria will be Entrance Based (MHT - CET).
As far as the closing rank of KJ Somaiya is concerned, then for CS, it was considered to be around 3500 and for IT, the closing rank was known to be somewhere ranging between and around 6500. Besides, the rank mentioned latter is for non-minority candidates.
But, if you are anyhow a Gujrati minority, then being selected in the institute is not much of a hassle. For the department of CS, the cutoff was ranged to be around the ranking of 7000, and similarly, for IT, it was around the ranking of 14000.
From sometime in a particular year, KJ Somaiya is expected to initiate its own University. And it can drastically alter the above mentioned numbers and disproportionate it in any specific manner. Besides, it also is supposed to conduct its own entrance exam in sometime or might also have initiated, the notice of which will be denoted in the college section area.
You should choose BITS Goa Chemical. You will get better placement and exposure. BITS Goa placements 2021 had an average CTC of INR 9.05 LPA. While the highest CTC stood around INR 16 LPA.
You can also opt for the dual degree program at BITS, this will give you exposure to various branches of Engineering, during the first year. If you score a good GPA in your first year, you will be able to take the engineering branch of your interest.
I have quite a few friends at VJIT Mumbai, so I can speak for the institute. After IITs, it is quite reputed among students. People from outside of Maharashtra may not be aware of VJIT but inside the state being a student of VJIT is a matter of pride.
If we make a comparison of engineering colleges nationwide, it will be IITs from tier-1, followed by few NITs, and after that colleges such as VJIT for the following tier.
VJIT is an old institute with a huge brand value. Many reputed MNCs visit the campus for the placement drive. It is less recognized but ‘underrated’ is probably is the wrong word to describe it.
The following factors are the reasons who most people are not familiar with the institute.
So, VJIT may not have national recognition but it is quite reputed inside Maharashtra.
Other than placements, VJIT offers better ROI, and start-up support. It is well-recognized in the industry. Many reputed companies offer core job opportunities in VJIT placements. The number of core job opportunities is limited at KJ Somaiya.
Being a private institute, KJ Somaiya charges higher course fees. VJIT has a more economical fee structure.
Infrastructure is the only parameter, in which KJ Somaiya has an edge over VJIT.
I have a few friends at VJTI and they are not happy with the Electrical Engineering program offered by the institute. Here are some of the things that they mentioned about the institute.
Considering the above disadvantages of VJTI, ECE at IIIT Nagpur is a much better choice for students. Here is a brief overview of the ECE course at IIIT Nagpur.
Course Fee |
9.41 LPA |
Average CTC |
7.70 LPA |
Highest CTC |

Major Recruiters |
Goldman Sachs, L&T Infotech, Bosch Ltd. |
Hope this helps.
Institute of Chemical Technology Mumbai Chemical Engineering and VJTI CS, both has good placement record.
It’s not really possible to compare Chemical industry giants like BASF to tech giants like Google or Microsoft. Since the placements are good for both options, you should choose the institute according to your branch preference.
