Review from a Second Year student in VJTI !

The curriculum is new and modern. Everything from the basics is taught. The teachers are always able to finish the syllabus. All the knowledge essential for our course is provided. Hands on practical experience is given to understand theoretical topics in greater depth

The internship drive starts in the 4th semester around the months of August-September and mant students get internships. Some of the companies are software based, some are banking related and we also get core companies like Viraj. Roles such as software engineer, developer, designer, etc. are expected from the companies.

Students become eligible for placements from the 7th semester itself. The highest is around 62lpa and the average revolves around 14-15 which is a great ROI. Almost 100% of students get placed every year. My plans are to grab a good placement after the degree, most preferably in a good company on campus.

The fees is extremely low and the return on investment is really high. The fee doesn't increment by 8% per annum like other colleges. There are many scholarship opportunities for backward classes, women, and people from humble backgrounds.

Pratibimb, Technovanza, Nexus, Enthusia are some of the festivals organised. Typically held in winters (dec-feb). Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar library has a vast book collection, including the old as well as newest books. The classrooms are facilitated with windows, benches, fans, Air conditioning, Smart board with smart pen, projector, screen and so on. Sports such as basketball, football, cricket, chess, carrom, table tennis are played.

The college is very transparent regarding its placement percentage, internship opportunities and so on. Other colleges try not to release official data. Many colleges publish placement brochures, not reports, it is easy to lie on them. VJTI provides accurate placement reports. The alumni network is really strong, they have thousands of past graduates. The admission process is mainly through MHTCET. The overall admission procedure is fairly smooth. The cutoffs are really high. They are also increasing year be year as standards rise. If you are a GOPENS like me, aim for 99.9+ percentile for CE/IT and 99+ percentile for lower branches.

Majority of the faculty members are permanent and PhD doctorate holders. They have several years of experience in VJTI kr other colleges. Many graduates from IITs are also teaching here. 20% weightage is for teachers' assessment, 30% for mid semester examinations and 50% for end semester examinations. Students are graded based on relative grading and a 10 pointer system is followed.

There were no group discussions, interviews or written tests specifically for the admission process. An exam MHTCET was conducted and admissions were done on the basis of score in that exam secured by the students.

The Gymkhana has several indoor games like chess, carrom and table tennis to play. The cafeteria has great Indian and Chinese food options. Generally students are expected to come to hostels by 10pm. Sometimes they are allowed to arrive later if they are out due to some emergency. Famous hangout places near campus include Five Gardens, Shivaji Park, Juhu beach, Marine drive, etc.
