DJ Sanghvi Mumbai Overview: An SVKM Autonomous College
Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering (DJSCE), Mumbai is a private autonomous engineering college run by the Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal (SVKM) — the well-known education trust behind NMIMS and Mithibai. Established in 1994, it sits on the SVKM campus at Vile Parle (West) in Mumbai’s western suburbs.
DJSCE is affiliated to the University of Mumbai with academic autonomy, approved by AICTE, and accredited NAAC ‘A’ with a CGPA of 3.18. Its portfolio leans heavily toward computing and artificial intelligence, and it is consistently rated among Mumbai’s leading private engineering colleges, with strong placements and a prime western-suburbs location.
For applicants, the SVKM backing is a practical advantage: a large, well-funded trust with deep corporate relationships (through NMIMS and its business networks), a recognisable brand, and a campus ecosystem that supports internships, guest lectures and placements. Combined with autonomy — which keeps the computing and AI curriculum current with industry tooling — that is a big part of why DJSCE sits among the most sought-after private engineering seats in Mumbai.
DJ Sanghvi vs NMIMS vs Mithibai (the SVKM Trio)
The SVKM trust runs several well-known institutions in Vile Parle, which can confuse applicants. For B.Tech engineering, DJSCE is the one you want:
📌 In one line: side-by-side comparison — cutoffs, fees & outcomes.
| Institution | What it offers |
|---|---|
| DJSCE — DJ Sanghvi College of Engineering (this page) | B.Tech engineering (Computer, IT, AI, EXTC, Mech, Chemical) |
| NMIMS | Deemed-to-be university — management, engineering (MPSTME), pharmacy & more |
| Mithibai College | Arts, science & commerce |
If you mean the autonomous engineering college at Vile Parle admitting via MHT-CET / JEE through CAP, that is DJSCE — the college described throughout this guide. NMIMS and Mithibai are separate SVKM institutions with their own admission processes.
Accreditation & Recognition (2025-26)
- Autonomous college affiliated to the University of Mumbai; AICTE-approved.
- NAAC ‘A’ Grade (CGPA 3.18 / 4).
- NBA accreditation for eligible engineering programmes.
- Run by the Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal (SVKM), the NMIMS / Mithibai group.
Among Mumbai’s private engineering colleges, DJSCE’s autonomy, NAAC A grade, SVKM backing, computing/AI focus and strong placements make it a consistent top shortlist, particularly for high-percentile candidates targeting Computer, IT and the AI branches.
B.Tech Branches at DJ Sanghvi Mumbai
DJSCE offers a broad, computing-and-AI-heavy eight-branch portfolio. Note that in the Maharashtra CAP seat matrix the computing intake is split into additional allotment codes — CSE (Data Science) and CSE (IoT, Cyber Security & Blockchain) — which appear as separate rows in the official cutoff list below:
📌 In one line: branch-wise seats & options at a glance.
| B.Tech branch | Demand level |
|---|---|
| Computer Engineering / Information Technology (IT) | Highest — most opted |
| AI & Data Science / AI & Machine Learning | Very high — emerging-tech |
| Electronics & Computer Science / EXTC | High |
| Mechanical / Chemical Engineering | Moderate / core |
The Computer, IT and AI branches close at the best percentiles and record the strongest placements. The AI & Data Science and AI & Machine Learning branches are designed around current industry tooling, which is part of why they are in such high demand. DJSCE also runs M.Tech programmes.
Because demand concentrates on computing and AI, students choosing the core branches (Mechanical, Chemical) should plan extra projects, internships and coding skills if they want to compete for the software roles that lift the campus high packages — a pattern across Mumbai colleges. That said, the Chemical and Mechanical streams open distinct process-industry, manufacturing and core-engineering paths, and DJSCE’s location and brand help across those sectors too.
How to Get B.Tech Admission to DJ Sanghvi (2026)
- MHT-CET (Maharashtra CAP): the main route — appear for MHT-CET, then choose DJSCE’s branch codes in the DTE CAP rounds.
- JEE Main: the All-India seats are filled on the basis of JEE Main scores within the CAP framework.
- Management / institute quota: a share of seats filled directly by the college at the approved quota fee.
Core eligibility: a pass in Class 12 (10+2) with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and at least 60% aggregate (relaxed for reserved categories), and a valid MHT-CET or JEE Main score. Diploma holders can seek direct second year B.Tech (DSY / lateral entry) at DJSCE through the separate DSE CAP process — the direct second year cutoff list is published separately from the first-year CAP cutoffs, so check the DSE allotment lists for your year; see our Direct Second Year B.Tech guide.
DJ Sanghvi 2026 Admission Process: Steps & Documents
For the CAP route, the 2026-27 journey typically looks like this:
- Appear for MHT-CET (or hold a valid JEE Main score) and obtain your scorecard.
- Register for Maharashtra CAP on the DTE / CET Cell portal and complete document verification.
- Option-filling & seat allotment: list DJSCE’s branch codes in priority order; Computer, IT and AI close at the best percentiles.
- Report & confirm the allotted seat, or approach the college for the institute/management quota.

Documents to keep ready: your MHT-CET / JEE Main scorecard and admit card, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, the CAP allotment letter, a domicile certificate, Aadhaar and nationality proof, passport-size photographs, and (for reserved categories) caste, caste-validity and non-creamy-layer / EWS certificates. Carry originals plus photocopies. Reconfirm the current schedule on the official DTE Maharashtra and DJSCE portals — or let FindUrCollege track it for you.
DJ Sanghvi Mumbai B.Tech Fee Structure 2026
DJSCE’s B.Tech tuition is around ₹2.21 Lakh per year, so the total fees for 4 years of B.Tech come to roughly ₹8.84 Lakh on the regular CAP route; the institute/management quota is charged higher. There is no single published management quota fee for the full 4-year B.Tech — the institute-level seat fee follows the approved (FRA) structure and is confirmed by the college at admission time, so budget above the ~₹8.84 Lakh regular total and get the exact 4-year quota figure in writing from the DJSCE admission cell (or ask FindUrCollege) before committing.
📌 In one line: fee structure — confirm the current-year official circular before payment.
| Route | Indicative fee |
|---|---|
| CAP / regular (MHT-CET / JEE) | ~₹2.21 Lakh / year (~₹8.84 Lakh total) |
| Management / institute quota | Higher (per approved fee) |
Eligible reserved-category and economically-weaker students can claim Government of Maharashtra schemes — EBC, the Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj scholarship, SC/ST/OBC/VJNT freeships, TFWS and minority scholarships — subject to income and category criteria. Accommodation, mess and other charges are billed separately. Always confirm the exact current fee on the official DJSCE / FRA-approved fee structure before paying.
DJ Sanghvi Mumbai MHT-CET Cutoffs 2025 (Official)
MHT-CET CAP 2026 status (16 July 2026): CAP registration has closed and the final merit list is expected around 20 July 2026, with option filling to follow — so the DJ Sanghvi MHT-CET cutoff for 2026 is not out yet and will emerge only after the CAP Round-1 allotment. Until then, use the official 2025 Round-1 closings below as your choice-filling reference.
The table below shows the official MHT-CET CAP 2025 Round-1 closing percentiles for the General / Other-than-Home-University Open category (GOPEN) at DJSCE, as published by the Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell (cetcell.mahacet.org). These are the toughest (Round-1) closing marks — later CAP rounds and the Institute-Level (management) quota typically close lower, so a slightly lower percentile can still secure a seat.
📌 In one line: official closing data — year/category labeled; verify the current round on the official portal.
| B.Tech branch | MHT-CET 2025 CAP R1 closing %ile — Open (GOPEN) |
|---|---|

Source: Maharashtra State CET Cell official CAP 2025 cutoffs, cetcell.mahacet.org (General Open, Other-than-Home-University). DJSCE’s published CAP 2025 cutoffs cover the Open category; reserved-category (OBC/SC/ST/EWS) closing percentiles are typically lower and vary by round — check the CET Cell portal for your category. Chemical Engineering and Electronics & Computer Science had no separate Open-category CAP 2025 row in the CET Cell data.
Across branches, DJSCE’s official MHT-CET CAP 2025 Round-1 Open closing percentiles span roughly 95.9 to 99.4 percentile, with Computer, IT and the AI branches the most competitive (~99+ percentile) and Mechanical the most accessible. On the JEE Main channel, closing ranks have ranged from about 23,468 to 1,06,021. If you need the DJ Sanghvi MHT-CET cutoff for the SC category (or ST / OBC / EWS), note that the published CAP 2025 list above covers the Open category only — reserved-category closing percentiles are lower and vary by round, so pull your category’s closing from the CET Cell round-wise allotment lists. Exact cut-offs change every year, round and category, so always verify on the official MHT-CET CAP portal before locking your choices.
If you are targeting the computing or AI branches you will need a top-end MHT-CET (or JEE) percentile; later CAP rounds, the core branches and the management / institute quota (which close lower than the Round-1 figures above) provide alternative routes. The prime Vile Parle location, NAAC A grade and strong placements explain why DJSCE’s computing seats are so sought-after.
DJ Sanghvi Mumbai Placements
DJSCE has a strong, well-established placement record — a highest package of around ₹32 LPA and an average near ₹11.1 LPA, with recruiters including HDFC, Accolite, Directi, Atos, Bank of America, JSW and BrowserStack, among others. The highest offers typically go to Computer, IT, AI&DS and AI&ML students.
