I am getting both ICT, Mumbai (Chemical Engineering) and VJTI CS. Which one should I opt for and why?
Posted On - Oct 30, 2020I would suggest you go with VJTI CS as it will be a better choice in the long run. Computer science is in demand with the number of job openings increasing every day in the country. VJTI’s computer science program is famous in the country and is known for its curriculum with a dedicated emphasis on practical learning. The college has a dedicated faculty pool and most of them are also engaged in research. VJTI's location also benefits it to a thriving industry ecosystem, providing students with ample opportunities for research, internships and industry collaborations.
Placement is another factor in which VJTI is better according to me. In 2024, A total of 401 BTech students were placed with the highest package secured by a BTech Computer Science student which stood at INR 57 LPA. The average package for the BTech Computer Science branch was INR 20 LPA.
Institute of Chemical Technology Mumbai Chemical Engineering and VJTI CS, both has good placement record.
- At ICT, the average for Chemical Engineering branch is 6-7 LPA. The placement average is 70%. BPCL, Exxon, Dr. Reddy are some of the major recruiters for the branch.
- VJIT CS average package is INR 10.34 LPA. The placement rate is 89%. Microsoft, JP Morgan are top recruiters.
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.
ICT Mumbai holds 18th rank among the best universities of India by NIRF ranking. Admissions for chemical engineering in ICT Mumbai are based on the rank of JEE mains followed by counselling.
Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute holds 26th rank by the week in 2019. Likewise in ICT Mumbai, the admission process for CS in this Institute is the same followed by counselling and interview.
