K.J. Somaiya Institute of Engineering and Information Technology (KJSIEIT), located in Mumbai, Maharashtra, offers a structured admissions process primarily governed by the Maharashtra State Common Admission Process (CAP) for its B.Tech, M.Tech, and Ph.D. programs, making it accessible for aspiring engineering students.
Admissions at KJSIEIT follow guidelines from the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Maharashtra, through the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) managed by the State CET Cell. Candidates register online via the official CAP portal (likely cetcell.mahacet.org for 2026), select KJSIEIT as a preference, and participate in multiple CAP rounds based on MHT-CET or JEE Main scores for B.Tech; GATE or MAH-MPG CET for M.Tech; and PET for Ph.D. After CAP rounds conclude, institute-level seats (CAP-MI vacancies) open for direct applications via the college website (kjsit.somaiya.edu.in), where candidates submit forms, merit lists are released, and seats are allotted on a first-come, first-served basis for remaining vacancies.
For direct second-year B.E. lateral entry, eligibility includes a diploma with 45% marks (40% for reserved categories), and applications are handled similarly post-CAP.
B.Tech aspirants need to pass Class 12 (HSC) with Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry/Biology/Biotechnology/Technical Vocational subject, securing at least 45% aggregate marks (40% for reserved categories like SC/ST/OBC from Maharashtra). Valid scores in MHT-CET (for Maharashtra candidates) or JEE Main (All India quota) are mandatory; 2024 JEE Main cutoffs ranged from 53,793 to 77,095 for general category.
M.Tech requires a B.E./B.Tech degree with 50% marks (45% for reserved) and GATE/MAH-MPG CET qualification. Ph.D. eligibility mandates a postgraduate degree with 55% marks and clearance of the PET exam.
While exact 2026 dates await official DTE announcement, the process typically mirrors prior years with CAP starting post-MHT-CET/JEE Main results (around May-July). Recent vacancy rounds for 2025-26 provide indicative timelines; expect similar for 2026-27 post-CAP.
The application processing fee is INR 1,000 for online submissions via the college portal or CAP; this is non-refundable and payable during form submission. B.Tech first-year fees are approximately INR 1.9 Lakh; M.Tech INR 1.17 Lakh; Ph.D. INR 50,000 (first year, subject to 2026 FRA updates).
Candidates must upload/ submit originals during CAP verification or institute admission:
Class 10 & 12 mark sheets and passing certificates.
MHT-CET/JEE Main/GATE scorecard.
Domicile certificate (for Maharashtra quota).
Caste validity/income certificate (for reserved/EBC categories).
Gap certificate (if applicable).
Two passport-size photos.
Aadhaar card/PAN.
Diploma mark sheets (for lateral entry).
For institute-level seats post-CAP, visit the campus or apply online with these documents; merit is based on entrance scores. Always check kjsit.somaiya.edu.in for 2026 updates, as processes emphasize merit and state quotas.
