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.
SIIB, TAPMI, Narsee Monjee Bangalore, KJ Somaiya, and Goa Institute of Management are among top Indian B-schools. After two years of work experience, an MBA from one of these universities can boost your career and earnings.

As an alumnus of KJSCE, I can only tell you about my college. I do not know anything regarding VIT Pune.
Here is all you can expect from KJSCE-
KJSCE is a decent college for your engineering studies. In the end, your hard work and dedication matters the most.
GIM, FORE, KJ Somaiya, and SIBM Bangalore offer 100% placement support to the students. It is a bit grim to figure out the lowest packages as they do not provide exact information. In fact, none of the colleges could guarantee a job from their side; instead, they could assure plenty of opportunities. The aptitude, capacity, and performance in the interview play a chief role.
Let us have a deeper look at SIBM Bangalore-
Many giant recruiters approach the college every year, and most of the applicants get placement in the first half of the academic year. The technological advancement in the classrooms, student-centric learning process, skilled and capable scholars, strong alumni network, and international links make SIBM one of the leading management institutes in Bangalore.
Based on these facts, you can choose SIBM Bangalore. Whatever decision you make, choose wisely.
There are two schools of thought on the same. The proponents would say that it matters a lot since the older your institute gets the more your alumni base spreads across the industry and in today’s corporate world connections are everything. Hiring managers ask for recommendations. Every college has its reputation in the market that has been built over a period of time by its students, faculty, and staff. But we also have people who dont believe in this concept and would like you to believe that only matters to an extent. Well that might be true for some but it takes a lot of effort to not be seen as a part of your institution
The decision to join a particular B-school ultimately depends on your individual career goals, personal preferences, any constraints you might have, and the specific offerings of each institution.
Here are some key factors to consider when comparing new and baby IIMs with other B-schools such as TAPMI or KJ Somaiya. But if you ask me, if you have calls from any of the IIMs, just join them without a doubt. New and baby IIMs have been established relatively recently and may not have the same level of brand recognition and industry connections as older and more established B-schools but the IIM tag matters a lot in the industry.
TAPMI and KJ Somaiya are well-established B-schools with a strong reputation for academic rigor and industry connections. They have a well-developed curriculum over a long history of the institute, faculty with extensive industry experience, and a large network of alumni who can help with job placements and career opportunities.
If you are deciding between these institutions, you should consider factors such as location,cost, faculty, industry connections, and curriculum. Consider your own career goals and whether each institution can help you achieve them.
To choose between, KJ Somaiya Institute of Engineering and Information Technology and Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering depends entirely on which course you choose. For courses like Computer Science, Information Technology and Production, CRCE is the better option.
