Both EXTC in KJ Somaiya and IT in Vivekanand are very good courses to pursue, but let's look at some factors before making a decision.

Location :

• The place where KJ Somaiya is located is a very good area.
• There are two nearby railway stations Tilaknagar and Vidyavihar. So transportation is easier.
• But Vivekanand is far away from Chembur and Kurla and it will take you much time to reach the college unless you get a monorail, but it is not available every time.
• So, here KJ Somaiya will be a better choice.

Autonomous :

• Autonomous universities provide the opportunity of taking up an internship or a full time job even before completing your 8th semester.

Campus :

• The campus of KJ Somaiya is very beautiful and big in area with all the modern facilities.
• They also encourage extracurricular activities.

Placements :

• The placement of both the colleges are very good.
• But students from EXTC in KJ Somaiya will have an advantage as they will be eligible to sit for both IT companies as well as core EXTC companies.

Hence, choosing EXTC in KJ Somaiya will be a better choice as its campus is very beautiful with all the facilities and you will also get better placement opportunities in this college.

If in case, you want to focus on your GPAs, then Vidyalankar Institute of Technology can be a good choice because you will have all the required study materials. Some of them include GQs, EQs, and others. Mainly, the professors go around to encourage you in scoring particularly well in your semesters.

There is another factor you need to understand. If you are planning to go for acquiring a good knowledge base, then you will also have access to certain topics such as Stack Overflow, Instructables, Hackster, arXiv.org, Ieee Xplore, and several others.

You might not receive the knowledge base in either of the institutes, but you can still have a slight edge at Vidyalankar Institute of Technology if you go for a good GPA.

Besides, the faculty is supportive and more importantly, encouraging. The labs are well maintained and particularly well equipped as well.
