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.

Some of the facts are listed below to help you understand which one is better in taking admission.

1. SGSITS has its brand name. No one even knows about the institute about IET-DAVV; generally, the students who are staying outside of Madhya Pradesh.
2. There are not enough differences in the syllabus of these two institutes. And for this reason, you have to study yourself to perform better.
3. If you want to pursue higher studies, then seats are limited in the good colleges for instrumentation. For this reason, the candidate number is also less. Thus, you have a preference to alter your stream for higher studies. One of my friends has told me that many people studied very hard and appeared in GATE although they have studied opted EI in B.Tech.
4. If you are looking for placement, then DAVV is the best. This institute always has better placement statistics than the other one that is SGSITS. My friend also told me that in DAVV, most of the students from E&TC, despite EI, are preferred by the recruitment companies.

In the following, the placement statistics of these two institutes are highlighted.

If you have not so many ideas about the stream and do not aware of the institutional tag; then it is better to choose E&TC in DAVV. Besides, if you are considering these two institutes, then both are quite similar in terms of academics. However, E&TC also has many other fields in the future, so that the job opportunity might be expanded. Hence, it will be best to go for E&TC over EI.

Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering is a decent choice to pursue in IET DAVV if you are looking forward to cracking GATE. This branch has a decent placement record too. The faculty of the department is quite good and will guide you with your GATE preparation.

However, if you expect core electronics recruiters, you will be disappointed. In campus placement drive, students of ETC branch mostly get recruited in IT companies or mass recruiters. Here are the recent placement highlights of the ETC branch.

Hope this gives you an idea about the placements for the ETC branch.

A few of my friends graduated from both IET DAVV and JEC. They say that the choice mostly varies according to your interests and the plans you have for your future.

• If you are planning for GATE then ET will not be a good choice. But if you are thinking of campus placements then IET has better records of placements than JEC.
• There is no more chance of growth in ET compared to CS. You will get better placements with CSE but for exposure and environment, IET is the better one.
• You will find good seniors and quite a supportive faculty.
• Talking of the colleges’ locations, Indore is better than Jabalpur not only fits your plans but also an important parameter while choosing a college.

Finally, IET is a better college compared to JEC but the ET course at IET is mediocre while the CS branch has a great scope. However, the final decision is up to you. Choose wisely.

Opt for any of these branches only if you are really interested in either of these branches or if you have plans of pursuing post-graduation in either of the subjects.

The reason behind this lies in whether you will be treating your technical graduation degree just as a simple graduation degree or are you really looking for it. If it is just going to be a simple graduation degree just like in campus placements, government job preparations, MBA entrance preparations, GRE preparations, etc., then it is not worth going for, because there is too much work in these branches.

If this is the case, choose any of the branches from CSE, IT, EI, and Civil Engineering. It will help you in saving a lot of time and hence, prepare well for entrances. Also, you can fully enjoy your college life.

CSE will be a better choice than Telecommunication Engineering because there is a constant demand for computer engineers in today’s rapidly growing corporate industry. CSE is the most in demand engineering course. Due to its scope and popularity it is better to choose CSE for moving your career ahead. But students interested in pursuing Telecommunication Engineering can always go for that.
