| VJTI Mumbai: CSE Average ₹16.35 L on a ₹3.34 L Degree — and a 99.94 Percentile Door |
| Exams covered: MHT-CET · JEE Main · CAP | State: Maharashtra | Fee band: ~Rs 85,000/yr |
| A CSE average of ₹16.35 lakh on a degree that costs about ₹3.34 lakh. VJTI is the highest-return engineering purchase in Mumbai, and the only thing standing between a student and it is a 99.94 percentile cutoff. |
| THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER |
| Total four-year fee | ~Rs 85,000/yr → Rs 3.3-3.4 L (Rs 2.30 L and Rs 6.71 L also quoted) |
| Yearly (average) | About Rs 0.82 lakh a year |
| Median package | Rs 11.20 L (NIRF 2026) |
| Average package | Rs 9.93 LPA overall |
| Placement rate | 83% (562 of 674) |
| Ranking | 101-150 band (Engineering) |
| HOW YOU GET IN |
| Admission route for Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI), Mumbai: MHT-CET + CAP / JEE Main. Always confirm the current cycle's dates, eligibility and seat matrix on the official portal before you file. |
| TWO THINGS MOVING RIGHT NOW |
| 1. 2024-25: 562 of 674 placed, a median of ₹11.20 lakh per NIRF 2026, and a highest of ₹54 lakh. IT averages ₹15 lakh, E&TC ₹11 lakh — and Civil ₹6 lakh. A 2.7x branch spread, the largest here. |
| 2. The asymmetry worth knowing: a JEE Main All-India rank inside roughly the top 20,000 reaches the same 15% All-India quota seat. For a strong out-of-state student, the JEE route can be easier than the state percentile. |
| THE HONEST READ |
| Mumbai's cheapest serious engineering degree, so long as the rank is there. If it is not, do not sell a core branch on the CSE number. |
| Mumbai's cheapest serious engineering degree and its CSE average is Rs 16.35 L. The catch is the cutoff: 99.94 percentile. Above 99.9 or not in the conversation. |
| 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. |
