You may have confused SPIT (Sardar Patel Institute of Technology) with SPCE (Sardar Patel College of Engineering). SPIT is not an autonomous institute. The courses offered in SPIT are Computers, IT, Electronics, and Electronics and Telecom.
Deciding Factors:
If you are looking for any particular program, then you should narrow down your choice of college based on courses. If you are more college-driven then you should go through the following points to make the right decision.
VJTI:
Considering all the factors, VJTI is the best option.
The placement statistics of recent years at VJTI are as follows.

Academics and co-curricular do not depend on the institute only. It is what you make of it. VJTI is the best choice as it provides a good network and exposure.
Preference Order:
The preference order of the institutes other than VJTI is as follows.
If you get admission to VJTI you should definitely opt for it. You should consider what course you are choosing and research about the facilities and placements. For example, CS at SPIT has better placement than ME at VJTI or any of the other colleges mentioned here.
Also, autonomous colleges have better administration in MU. They have a better examination schedule, quick result release and you will have higher chances of securing a good CGPA.
Out of textile engineering from VJTI and CS from KJ Somaiya, CS from Somaiya will be a better choice. As one of my friends studied there, I am able to share some facts about it.

Choosing textile engineering from the VJTI can get a bit tricky further in your career. CSE is a much more reliable branch on which to focus your career. But if a person is interested in the textile branch and without any second thought, opt for VJTI, and if not then for KJ Somaiya.
COEP Pune is better for Computer Science and Engineering. It has good brand recognition and offers excellent placements. Each year around 90% of students get placed from the CSE branch. According to COEP placements of recent years, the average CTC for the CSE branch is around INR 6-7 LPA.
If you want to pursue higher studies after B.Tech, then COEP is a good option as well. Students of this institute are studying at CMU, Berkeley, etc.
SVNIT is certainly a better choice for Computer Engineering than local Mumbai colleges such as VJTI, DJ Sanghavi, and Somiya. Being an NIT, the institute offers way better exposure and placements. CSE branch bags the placements in the campus drive. During SVNIT placements 2022, the average CTC offered for CSE was INR 15.22 LPA. While the highest CTC stood around INR 44 LPA.
