Hello sir, my son has scored a 99.375 in MHTCET general category. What are his chances of getting into VJTI and which branch if he does. Also if not VJTI then between SPIT and DJ Sanghvi which is a better college for CSE in terms of placement and package

Ans: With a 99.375 percentile in MHT-CET under the general category, your son stands well above last year’s closing percentiles at VJTI, where Computer Engineering closed at 99.9 and Information Technology at 99.85 for General-Home State candidates. He is virtually assured admission to VJTI’s Computer Engineering or Information Technology branches, with preference given to Computer Engineering given its slightly higher closing percentile.

Should VJTI not materialise or if seat availability shifts, comparing private options:
Sardar Patel Institute of Technology delivers near-100% placement consistency, an average CSE package of ?17.32 LPA and a median of ?14.17 LPA, drawing recruiters like Microsoft, Google and PhonePe across tech domains. Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering achieves a 96% CSE placement rate, with an average package around ?9–11 LPA, supported by top recruiters such as JP Morgan Chase and Infosys and a dedicated placement cell ensuring internships and soft-skills training. Both institutes feature NBA-aligned curricula, PhD-qualified faculty, modern AI/ML labs and robust industry tie-ups.


Secure Computer Engineering at VJTI for its unmatched brand prestige and top-tier placement edge. If VJTI opts out, recommendation is SPIT Mumbai CSE for superior average and median packages. DJ Sanghvi CSE is a worthy fallback for strong core recruitment and holistic student support. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
