K. J. Somaiya College of Engineering - [KJSCE], Mumbai - Placement Details and Companies Visiting

My sister studied at KJSCE and grabbed an offer to work with TCS. So you should not concern yourself about placements because it is excellent. It's an autonomous institute, so more companies are visiting now.

If you're joining KJSCE because your goal is MBA then keep in mind that even if you amass good work experience, it matters from where you have gained that experience from. For example, having experience in the mechanical field won't get you the IT job you aspire to. So choose the branch that interests you because you'll have to spend 4 precious years in that. 

Who knows, even after 4 years of engineering with 3 years of work experience making it a total of 7 years, you might notice huge changes in your thought process. And even after its completion, when you go for placements, your field of study in UG will matter. Let’s say you are appearing for a managerial post in an IT firm, then you will definitely have a better preference if you did your UG in IT or CSE. 

It’s good to think ahead but don’t just choose a branch based on the placement. 

KJ Somaiya has a great bunch of professors and well-equipped laboratories. They have pretty amazing placement records. Electronics and Telecommunication engineering placements are as good as that of CSE and IT branches at KJSCE.

The following table gives a brief overview of the institute:

The placement scenario at KJ Somaiya College of Engineering is pretty good and surely is promising. More than eighty industry giants recruit every year from the EXTC branch alone. EXTC students are allowed to sit in placement rounds of both core and IT industries.

The college offers a package ranging from 3 LPA to 12 LPA. The placement process starts at the beginning of the 7th semester till the middle of the 8th semester. 

Some companies are categorized as dream and non-dream companies by the students themselves. The companies which offer a package of 5 LPA or above are termed as the dream company and the one that offers a package of less than 5 LPA are termed as the non-dream companies. Companies offering a dream package for CSE and IT are aplenty.

Furthermore, if you end up being the lucky one among all the students and get selected in any of the dream companies in the first attempt itself, then you cannot sit for any other company and will have to take up that job. But if you are selected in two non-dream companies, you are no more eligible to sit for the placement process any further. You have to select any one of the two companies you have been selected for.

To get a good, impressive package, you need to maintain a good CGPA which is 6.0-7.5 and above. All the ATKTs must be clear, only then you would be able to see the various opportunities that would come your way.
