Why VJTI is better than KJ Somaiya?
Posted On - Apr 1, 2021While both are very good engineering colleges from Mumbai, according to me VJTI’s superiority lies in its strong industry connections, esteemed faculty and brand name. Its curriculum ensures that students are exposed to the latest developments and practical skills. VJTI also has a strong alumni network working in top companies that further enhance its reputation. Every year, many companies visit the VJTI campus and provide good packages. For 2024, A total of 401 BTech students have been placed till now with more expected to grab good offers as the campus drive continues.
Apart from placements, VJTI also offers better ROI and start-up support to students who aspire to entrepreneurial ventures. KJ Somiaya also charges much higher for its courses while VJTI being an autonomous government institute has an economic fee structure. It fosters a culture of academic excellence and innovation. VJTI faculties are also much more capable than KJ Somaiya’s, guiding students and at the same time engaging in research.
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.
At the end of the day, you either want a good, well-paid job, a research position, or a startup initiative, or if you want to go for your majors. VJTI provides you all these things.
A few years back, KJ Somaiya was performing well, but deteriorating gradually. Ultimately, the brand matters. If you get admission in an old NIT or an IIT, the tag definitely matters. As during interviews, the tag acts as a major preference.
- VJTI is definitely a very good brand. COEP is the only other real competition.
- Academics is not a very strong suit of any of the colleges but pursuing research could prove different.
- All the old government colleges support and uplift your efforts. But it also has to be your initiative. Ultimately you have to make the right decision, while teachers and seniors can only guide you.
- If you plan to go into Investment Banking or Consulting straight out of college, only one of the old IITs or BITS gets you that.
- A similar reputation is enjoyed by VJTI and COEP in different firms and types of roles.
To give a clear idea about these colleges, VJTI will only take care or help you with your academic development, KJ Somaiya will look out for your all-rounder development. So now, it’s completely your choice, what you want to choose.
