This is really easy to choose and without any doubt, KJ Somaiya College of Engineering should be preferred to VESIT. The reasons are as follows.

• KJ Somaiya College of Engineering is an autonomous college affiliated to the Somaiya Vidyavihar University while VESIT is affiliated to the University of Mumbai and is not autonomous. Being an autonomous institute has its own advantages. Also, the University of Mumbai course curriculum is not up to the standards.
• The placements of KJ Somaiya College of Engineering are much better than VESIT. Take a look at the comparison table below.

Apart from that, KJ Somaiya College of Engineering offers one of the best campuses in the Mumbai region with amazing sports facilities which very few campuses in Mumbai can match.

Companies like ZS Associates and Morgan Stanley organize hackathons at the college which offer chances to convert internships.

All these factors make KJ Somaiya College of Engineering a much better engineering college to pursue CSE.

Yes IT and CS are both similar in nature. There is no such difference in the curriculum as well. Both the streams get equal job and placement opportunities. Even the mechanical students learn to code for getting placements.

KJ Somaiya is an autonomous institution and you will get an advantage due to this. The placements at KJ Somaiya are much better than VESIT.

The placement statistics of KJ Somaiaya is as follows:

Both the IT stream and CS streams get similar kinds of positions in the market. You should definitely go for IT from KJ Somaiya College.

According to my friends studying there, KJSCE is well equipped with infrastructural facilities, including separate hostels for boys and girls, more than 70 labs, a widespread library, classrooms and seminar halls, a spacious auditorium, sports equipment and infrastructure, and a medical centre.

Fee and Placement

KJSCE has the best mechanical engineering faculty but it has fewer placements. The placements for the Computer Science and IT branch are the highest. The majority number of students get placed from these two branches. These branches are the baggage of opportunities. Even if you are unable to crack top interviews, there are still opportunities to go with mass recruiters like Infosys, Accenture, Capgemini, and others.

To conclude, the branch branches to pursue in terms of return are CSE and IT in KJSCE, but Mechanical Engineering is the best for academic learning.

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.

• First, you should ask yourself about what do you want out of your engineering degree, whether it is academics, extracurricular, or co-curricular. 
• Also, it depends on your future goals. Whether you want good placements, seek higher education, or go for start-ups. 

VJTI:

Considering all the factors, VJTI is the best option.

• It is an autonomous college with a strong foundation. It also has a broad alumni base. 
• All these factors result in better internship opportunities, better placing companies, and a better network in education. 
• For extracurriculars, most of the engineering colleges in Mumbai offer almost the same opportunities. However, Thandomal, DJSCOE, and RAIT offer mesmerizing events. However, since extracurricular is not the sole factor of consideration, VJTI will be sufficient. 

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. 

• Placement- SPIT>DJSCOE>KJSCOE

• Reputation- SPIT>KJSCOE>DJSCOE

• Academics- SPIT>DJSCOE>KJSCOE

• Alumni- DJSCOE>KJSCOE>SPIT

• Extracurricular- DJSCOE>SPIT>KJSCOE

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.

• CSE is a trending branch and the most popular one. The best option for you will be KJ Somaiya.
• When it comes to placement at KJ Somaiya, they are decent. A total of 70 companies visited the campus for on-campus placements and offered great salary packages.
• The campus life at KJ Somaiya is amazing and is very welcoming.
• KJ Somaiya is an autonomous college and there are many advantages of being from a college with an autonomous status.

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.

KJSCE is a decent college and offers ample opportunities to excel academically. After becoming autonomous, the college has introduced dual degree and student exchange programs. Along with your engineering major, you can do a minor in another branch of engineering or in Marketing, Banking, Finance, Industrial Psychology, Languages, etc. 

The faculties are cooperative and friendly. Placements are decent. CSE and IT branches receive better placement opportunities compared to the other branches. KJSCE B.Tech placements 2022 reports an average CTC of INR 7.15 LPA and the highest CTC of INR 13.66 LPA.
