KJSCE, Bachelors of Engineering

Reviewed on Sep 27, 2019

Remarks

Overall its a thumbs up for college KJSCE. Its has best infrastructure, good facilities, well equipped laboratories and industry relevant curriculum. Placements are not 100% but college is striving hard to achieve it.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course Curriculum is updated every year to accommodate upcoming trends. Since KJSCE has private autonomy status, it can design its own curriculum as per industry requirement. Also, the best part is feedback from all students is taken every semester and course is updated based on feedback.

Internships Opportunities

College does provide internship but there are less positions available against number of students. But faculties are trying their best to get new projects. If can get internships through your personal contact, college will easily provide approval letter. I got internship with a manufacturing company in Mumbai. It was a great learning experience. Had experience on shop floor working on CNC machines and part making.

Placement Experience

3.5

Placements are good for computers and IT branch. Mechanical branch suffers the most in placements to get placed in core branch. My year 54/135 got core job offers and rest either opted for masters or secured IT job offer.Few were unplaced. But things are improving with time.

College Events

4.5

Cultural fest Symphony- Symphony is the annual cultural festival of K.J. Somaiya College of Engineering and has grown in leaps and bounds ever since its initiation as Jamboree in 1987.

Technical fest Abhiyantriki is the annual technical festival of K.J. Somaiya College of Engineering. Previously, organizations like DRDO, BARC, ISRO, DAE have participated in the fest along with prominent personalities such as the late Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, R Chidambaram, Abhas Mitra etc. It is a culmination of the brightest young minds coming in to compete in the various technical activities that take place during the two day long celebration.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fees is a bit expensive 1.5 lakhs a year. But many scholarship options are available like sir JRD tata scolarship, Ratan tata scholarship. State government minority scholarship and merit based scholarships are also taken by students.

Fees and Financial Aid

JRD tata scolarship, Ratan tata scholarship are available for meritorious students. State government minority scholarship also taken by students. Educational Loan is also easily available in any of the banks at nominal interest rate.

Campus Life

Somaiya campus which is spread across 60 acres has all facilities like gymkhana, football, cricket grounds, lawn tennis, badminton court, chess area. Swimming pool coming soon. So its great learning experience with awesome infrastucture. Sports committee organizes annual events for sports. Also there are many other student projects like Orion, ETA, BAJA, onyx taken by students in college. Orion Team India builds sports cars and participates every year in competition held in Germany. Currently it is best race car team in India beating even IITs.

Hostel Facilities

Infrastructure and facilities wise Somaiya is the best college in Mumbai. Well equipped labs, gymkhana, football, cricket grounds, lawn tennis, badminton court and many more facilities are available in college.

External Expense: Rs.7000 - Rs.10000

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni of Somaiya are very well connected with college. Many past students have set up their engineering firms are come to recruit or provide internships to students in college. Alumni cell is working great to connect students with alumni helping them make better career decisions.

Exam Structure

KJSCE has private autonomy status, it can design its own exam timetable. There are two semester exams in a year and each subject exam has vivas, 2 unit tests, practical and final exam. Final scoring is CGPI based. Overall exams are challenging but most of students manage exams with few days of efforts.

Admission

Follow these steps: 1. Give MHT-CET MHT-CET is an engineering entrance exam held in May focusing on PCM knowlegde of candidate. Best part- NO Negative Marking. 2. DTE-CAP rounds Based on MHT-CET score ranks will be given to each candidate based on marks you score in exam. Then fill the form on DTE website with your personal and educational details and submit your preferences for college. Based on your merit rank college with be allotted. For KJSCE target high MHT-CET score for getting good merit rank. 3. Pay Fees and secure admission Fees for engineering in KJSCE is approx 1.5 lakhs/year. Once you get the college in DTE process verify documents at collge and secure your seat by paying fees.

Faculty

Faculty is decent on a whole. Some are very good at teaching while some lack teaching skills to a bit. But all faculties are atleast Mtech from top Engineering colleges of India and many of them are pursing PHD. So faculty have good knowledge about subjects they teach.

Proud to be a part of claras college

Likes

The faculty members are highly qualified, approachable, and always willing to help with academic or research projects.
The campus infrastructure is excellent, featuring modern labs, a well-stocked library, and great sports facilities.
Placement opportunities are robust, with many top-tier companies visiting the campus for recruitment every year.

Dislikes

The hostel mess food lacks variety and quality, which is a frequent concern among resident students.
The placement department needs improvement as more core internship and job opportunities could be provided for undergraduate finance and BMS students
There is a lack of student-accessible Wi-Fi facilities across the campus premises, which makes online research difficult during college hours.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose the BMS (Bachelor of Management Studies) course primarily due to its highly comprehensive coverage of core business aspects specially human resources. The curriculum is well-structured to offer a deep understanding of corporate administration and strategic management, which strongly influenced my decision to enroll. Regarding the examination structure, semester exams are conducted systematically every six months, with internal assessments, assignments, and class presentations spread across the term. The timing is generally manageable, and the difficulty level ranges from moderate to high, effectively testing a student's analytical thinking and problem-solving capabilities rather than just memory recall.

Excellent college for diplomawith supportive faculty

Likes

teachers are helpful and you can ask them your doubts without any problem. most of them are quite supportive
there are technical events, sports and cultural programs during the year, so college is not only about studies
i liked the practical sessions and labs because we actually got to work on things instead of only learning the thoery

Dislikes

Placements opportunities could be better and i feel the college can bring more companies for students
Sometimes the academics workload can fell a bit much, espically when assignments, practicals and exams come around together
Using mobile in the collge is strictly not allowed and if used our mobile is taken and given after 6 to 7 days .

Placement Experience:

Placements at VES Polyetchnic are decent for a diploma college. students generally become eligible for placements in the final year.Pacages depend on the company and branch, with some offer going above 4 LPA. the placement cell also helps with interviews and internships. after diploma, many students also choose to continue with higher studies

Likes

The campus of the college is vast with a natural environment
Many facilities like library, sophisticated labs, and classrooms are provided by the college
The Teachers cover each and every point of the syllabus and guide the students.

Dislikes

The syllabus is a little bit outdated, that is some points in the syllabus may seems boring and not applicable in the real world.
The Teachers should use the right techniques for teaching which makes the students more engaging in the class.
The menu of the canteen must contain some health option in a budget friendly way.

Placement Experience:

The campus placement is decent in the college as compare to other colleges of the city . many companies visited the college every year to hire the skillful engineers from the college and offer them a good amount of package. The option of the offcampus palcement is also there for the students of the other colleges.

College campus, it is big, not much conjusted, good nature friendly
Freedom upto some level, no uniforms, no ID compulsion unless it is an exam

Dislikes

Faculty is not much well qualified or well trained I would say
Hectic curriculum, boring schedules and quite unlivable
Labs and classrooms are too old, infrastructure is very old

Placement Experience:

Yes there is placement cell of STES which is no different than other tier 3 engineering colleges offering a tier 3 average package depending on who is the recruiter. Students become eligible for campus from 3rd year of their degree. Highest package is something around 55 lakhs offered to a computer engineering student,and average is just like I said for a tier 3 college 5-6 lakhs(above or below). Almost everyone gets placed in the company but some might not.

Really it is best college. Which gives us best curriculum during our academic year. The curriculum of college teaches me how to become a good lawyer. The arguing skills etc. There should be no suggestions from my side just to imrove the course curriculum as it is overall good. The timings and scheduled are fixed by college and university. Generally the exam is in two shifts 10:00 to 1.00 and 2.00 to 5.00pm.

The Students section not really tends to help ,as i saw many financially weak students facing the problem of 1 time payment fees and their request for part payments option is always rejected

Remarks:

Laxminarayan Institute of Technology is a reputed institute, when it comes to the field of Chemical Engineering. The placement at LIT for M.Tech students is also decent. In my batch, 50% of the students were placed on Campus, which is better than many NITs for Chemical Engineers doing M.Tech. The admission fees of 27,000 per year is also less in comparison with other institutes. The Teachers at LIT are also vastly experienced. Also the Institute was in my hometown, which made my decision even more easier.

I would say, it's upto you as to how you make the most out of the opportunities you get at the college.Personally I felt the experience to be rewarding, made great connections and experienced beautiful moments during all those 4 years of Engineering.KJSCE has a well maintained beautiful campus, surely amongst the best in Mumbai. Good sports amenities and facilities. Good engineering crowd, many gujjus because of the minority quota, so you will have to deal with hearing Gujarati, a LOT. Though I don't know about other departments, but the Mechanical engineering department indeed had smart students. The Mechanical Engineering department boasts the best Formula Student team in India (at least when I graduated it was). They even had many other teams which participated in BAJA, Shell Eco Marathon, Robocon etc. However, the one thing common across all the departments is that you can find the alumni in top colleges like Purdue, Georgia Tech, UMich Ann Arbor, NYU, CMU, Cornell etc. pursuing their Masters.A few cons are that there's no cutting edge research going on for the geeky types, won't get funding for projects easily, shit placements. Being in the heart of Mumbai, if a college can't bring in top companies, it's a shame. There's a lot of talent but they aren't given great placement opportunities. Majority of the students find it on their own through their connections. (Accenture, TCS & Infosys aren't considered great opportunities by me).The college has become autonomous and thus I hope it takes some lessons from Universities like BITS and IITs so as to introduce a much more diversified learning exposure, internships, student exchange programs with top universities, etc. It's important that students are exposed to subjects that matter in the real world along with the core engineering curriculum. Introducing a good curriculum can attract consulting and finance companies too for placements.Anyways if you get admitted here, you won't regret it....Read More
