Questions Asked On VESIT, Mumbai

Having known some people studying in these colleges, I can tell you that both colleges are really good in their own ways. But, you should consider the following before you make any decision:

• KJ Somaiya has slowly improved over the years and now is considered much better than Mumbai University (MU).
• Vivekanand is known to keep track of attendance which is not the case with KJ Somaiya.
• If you are considering doing Electronics, you should know that Electronics and Telecommunications has an upper edge.
• The exams at KJ Somaiya are tougher than MU. This is because MU repeats a lot of previous years’ questions.
• You will get a 5 day holiday in MU before a semester paper. At KJ, you will only get a day or two. Therefore, at KJ, your exams will be hectic.
• The semesters end pretty quickly at KJ as opposed to MU. 
• MU students only get one month’s leave after a semester ends. For KJ, this leave is for 2 months. 
• You can utilize this time to look for internships and other activities that will help strengthen your resume.

• Electronics has a few subjects like digital communication which might overlap with telecommunications.

Both the colleges are even. It will finally depend on where your interests lie and what you would like to do. Find out if you are more interested in telecommunications or just core electronics, then choose accordingly. 

Electronics will teach you more about electronic components, circuits and other basic ideas that might be required in general electronics. Telecommunications will only give you a deeper understanding of communication technologies.

While both colleges are reputed, you should compare a few parameters before making a choice. Here are some of them to help you decide.

Teaching: 

Every college has good and bad faculties. 

• From what I heard through my friends at VESIT, there are few faculties that struggle with simple math problems. While some faculties from KJS struggle with simple circuits despite being electronics teachers. 
• I also know about faculties at VESIT, who are actively engaged in research projects that are respected nationally. The same goes for KJS. 

Don’t expect world-class teaching from either of these colleges. You will also need to figure out a lot of things on your own. You will also be able to figure out a lot of the study material by yourself. It will be better if you find someone, preferably a faculty to clear your doubts. 

Management: (Winning Institution - VESIT)

• As far as management is concerned, KJS recently attained autonomy so things might be a little disorganized there. At KJS you might expect odd exam schedules and late exam starts.
• VESIT does not have better management but is definitely a little more organized.

Campus Life:

• VESIT does not have a very big campus. Moreover, a number of technical and non-technical events go on at VESIT, but it is not comparable with KJS.
• In terms of crowd, KJS has a relatively chill vibe as compared to people from VESIT. But, clubs are much better at VESIT, e.g. CSI and IEEE. However, KJS also has a number of open events that you can participate in as well.

Placement:(VESIT ~ KJS)

For placements, both the institutes are almost on the same page. Here is a peek into the recent placement highlights of the institutes. 

KJS offers Mechanical Engineering, which VESIT does not. So, if you want to pursue Mechanical, KJS is a clear choice. The environment at VESIT is more suitable for technical things as compared to KJS. So, choose the institute based on what you expect out of your degree.

While choosing an institute the first thing you need to consider is the distance between the institute and your home. Except for this consideration, the overall rankings of these two colleges are quite close to each other But, if you don’t have any issues with traveling daily or staying in the hostel, then consider the following factors in order to choose the right institute.

Infrastructure:

• You can visit the official websites of these two institutes to understand what type of infrastructural facilities are provided.

Placement:

In this case, your resume matters a lot to get placed in the on-campus recruitment process for both of these institutes. Here is the highlight of recent placement statistics for these two institutes. 

University:

• KJSCE is an autonomous institute, but VESIT is under Mumbai University so the former has an upper hand.
• This autonomous identity of Kjsce helps to better design academics. Additionally, it allows the college administration to control the entire exam procedure, which is much better than Mumbai University.
• Besides, the students also get an opportunity to do internships in the reputed MNCs, with a longer vacation. It looks good on the resume.

Sports:

There is no comparison of KJSCE with VESIT, as the previous one has an extraordinary football turf. This institute also has a good badminton court and a running track.

Campus: Except for the campus of IITB, KJSCE probably has the biggest campus in Mumbai.

Both of these are pretty good options so choose according to your convenience.
