| HOW YOU GET IN |
| Admission route for K J Somaiya College of Engineering (KJSCE), Mumbai: Own university admission (MHT-CET / JEE / CUET / PERA / SAT). Always confirm the current cycle's dates, eligibility and seat matrix on the official portal before you file. |
| TWO THINGS MOVING RIGHT NOW |
| 1. The trend is not helping: median ₹8.88 lakh in 2023, ₹7.60 lakh in 2024, ₹7.50 lakh in 2025, and the average fell 8.67% in a year. Meanwhile the highest package moved ₹25 lakh to ₹58 lakh to ₹51.72 lakh — noise, not a trend. |
| 2. One source claims a 100% placement rate against 364 students placed. That is not reconcilable with a stated cohort size and should not be repeated. |
| THE HONEST READ |
| The campus, the 60-acre site and the Mumbai address are real — this is a lifestyle and location purchase. Name it as one rather than dressing it up as a return play. |
| A Rs 22.68 L degree with a Rs 7.50 L median - a payback of three years. The campus and the Mumbai brand are real; the return is the weakest in the Mumbai group. Say that plainly. |
| BEFORE YOU PAY THE FIRST INSTALMENT |
| 1. Ask for the branch-wise median — the institute figure hides the branch you are actually joining. |
| 2. Ask for the placed-versus-eligible count, not the percentage. A count is evidence; a percentage is a claim. |
| 3. Ask which quota or fee category the quote refers to. In this college the same seat can carry two or three different prices. |
| 4. Diarise the counselling round you are planning for, and the refund deadline that follows it. |
| TALK TO SOMEONE WHO HAS ACTUALLY DONE IT |
| Talk 1:1 with final-year students of the exact course and college you are considering. Ask them what the brochure will never tell you — how the teaching actually works, which branches get real recruiter attention, what the hostel and mess cost in year three, and what the final bill looked like. Then decide, with the full picture in front of you. We also handle end-to-end guidance on engineering form filling, counselling rounds, seat allotment, campus visits and travel. |
