Why is K.J. Somaiya so famous in Mumbai when I can’t see any mechanical placement there?
The first thing you need to understand is that a college's worth does not depend on its placements. It’s much more than that. Even if you don’t land a high package you might learn better skills than at any other college. The same is the case with KJ Somaiya, it offers the following advantages which overlook its average placement statistics
- Comprehensive curriculum: The curriculum here is vast as it covers versatile audit courses like Entrepreneurship, Business Analytics, Sales, History of Mumbai.
- No minimum attendance rule: The lack of a minimum attendance rule makes it possible for the students to engage more in extracurricular activities and thus leads to overall development.
- Incubation center: KJ Somaiya’s incubation center Ridll has given birth to many entrepreneurs.
- Experienced faculty: KJ Somaiya mechanical's department is as old as VJTI in terms of experience.
Also, the placement here is quite similar to other engineering colleges in Mumbai.
Is attendance compulsory at the KJ Somaiya College of Engineering? What is the regular class timing?
No, there are not any strict rules regarding attendance and it is not compulsory at KJ Somaiya College of Engineering. But if you bunk or miss any practical or tutorial, you will have to attend the extra classes on Saturday to cover it up.
The regular class timing of this college is from 9:30 AM to 5:15 PM, but sometimes the classes begin at around 10:30 AM and they end in between 3-4 PM. The rule regarding attendance varies from department to department, but try to maintain at least 75% attendance in your first year to avoid any trouble.
How much percentage of marks is needed to get a 9+ CGPA in KJ Somaiya College of Engineering (Since it has become autonomous)?
KJ Somaiya does not follow a relative grading system.
Before answering your question let's discuss how to calculate the grade of a particular subject. Every subject has its own credits which are preassigned (1,2,3 etc.). For example
-
- If you scored 90 in math 1, then you'll get a 10 grade point ( anything above 85 gives you 10 grade points).
- The next step is to multiply the grade point and credits (ie. 10*4=40).
- Next add up the results for all the subjects.
- Calculation of CGPA= Added result of all subjects/maximum possible grade point*credit total.
So we can say that securing a 9+ pointer is fairly easy in the First Year at KJ Somaiya. All you need is an average of around 80-85% in semesters and you'll be above the 9-pointer mark.

Is the electronics branch at KJ Somaiya good in regards to placements as well as faculty wise?
As you may be aware, KJ Somaiya is autonomous, so the curriculum and coursework are both flexible. Furthermore, the exams will end earlier, resulting in longer vacations that can be used effectively for internships or summer courses. Because of its autonomous status, a large number of companies come to recruit.
If you score 50% overall, you are eligible to apply to all companies. Whatever your field, the same set of companies will come, and if you aren't eligible, you can apply from elsewhere.
Between KJ Somaiya EXTC and Swami CS, which is better?
You must ask yourself what interests you. Choose a branch that is only allowed by your marks and cutoffs. That is the most serious error you can make. Without a doubt, the college from which you graduate is significant. What matters more is what academic records and experiences you leave with. If your grades allow you to choose between SC and ST in Swami, you will be eligible for many more colleges and branches. Even in KJSCE for EXTC. Yes, both colleges are excellent. You should pursue CS in Swami, but don't just enroll in colleges and branches because your grades and cut-offs allow you to.
Allow yourself plenty of time. Make a decision that will benefit you and your interests in the long run. Don't get your seat confirmed anywhere until the last round of admission and vacancy until you get one of those you want to be in. the cutoffs for vacancy seats fall like anything at the end of admission rounds. students with scores of 170 and 120 have been seen in the same class.
