All three are affiliated to the University of Mumbai, AICTE-approved, and admitted through MHT CET via DTE Maharashtra CAP.
| Parameter | TSEC Bandra | SPIT Andheri | DJSCE Vile Parle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Established | 1945 | 1957 | 1994 |
| Location | Bandra West | Andheri West | Vile Parle West |
| Affiliation | University of Mumbai (Autonomous) | University of Mumbai (Autonomous) | University of Mumbai (Autonomous) |
| NIRF West Region 2025 | 11 | Check NIRF portal | Check NIRF portal |
| BE Tech Branch Fees (4 yrs) | INR 14.39 Lakhs | INR 13.00 to 15.00 Lakhs | INR 13.00 to 15.00 Lakhs |
| Highest Package 2024-25 | INR 24.13 LPA | See official website | See official website |
All three colleges serve the same MHT CET applicant pool and have similar fee structures. TSEC’s advantage is its 1945-vintage alumni network and strong Mumbai-based BFSI and IT placement record. SPIT Andheri is located in proximity to Andheri’s corporate belt. DJSCE is younger but competitive for CSE and IT placements. Branch-wise closing percentiles at all three are broadly similar, with CS/IT at 95+ percentile range.
