(1) MHT CET 96.47 percentile and JEE Mains 89.10 percentile – can you get admission in KJ Somaiya College of Engineering (KJSCE)?
Yes, with 96.47 percentile in MHT CET and 89.10 percentile in JEE Mains, your chances of getting admission in KJSCE are good, especially in branches like IT, E&TC, Mechanical, etc. For CSE, cutoff might go slightly higher, but you still have a fair chance depending on the branch preferences and category.

(2) You submitted your form for all specializations – is your admission possible?
Yes. Since you have applied for all branches through KJSCE’s institutional quota form (from their own website), you are already in their admission process. If your merit rank fits in their cutoff during rounds, you can get admission.

(3) What is the difference between KJSCE and KJSIT? Which one is better?
KJSCE: K. J. Somaiya College of Engineering
KJSIT: K. J. Somaiya Institute of Technology

Both are part of Somaiya group but KJSCE is autonomous and located at Vidyavihar, while KJSIT is at Sion and comes under Mumbai University.

KJSCE is considered better in terms of ranking, placements, teaching quality, and student crowd. It is the more preferred option.

(4) You applied for KJSCE from their website. Does KJSIT also need separate registration?
Yes. KJSIT admissions are done through the CAP round (MHT CET CAP). If you have already participated in CAP, you can get KJSIT through the CAP itself.
But KJSIT also sometimes opens its own institute level admission, for which you may need to register separately if you want to try that.

KJ Somaiya is a highly reputable engineering college, and while the competition for Computer Science is fierce, your percentile is well above the average cutoff. However, the final decision will depend on the exact cut-off released by the college, which can vary based on factors like the number of applicants and the difficulty level of the exam.

To increase your chances:

• Participate actively in the admission process: Ensure you complete all necessary documents and attend counseling sessions as scheduled.
• Research the college: Familiarize yourself with KJ Somaiya's admission criteria, fee structure, and placement records.
• Explore other options: While KJ Somaiya is a great choice, consider exploring other top engineering colleges in Maharashtra to have a wider range of options.

Remember, the final decision will depend on the cut-off released by the college.

there are hardly any colleges that award admission on the basis of diploma marks. it is advisable that you answer a national entrance and take admission, there is a scheme of lateral entry that allows you to directly join 2nd year but that is only possible if you are pursuing 1st year in engineering in that college
