Detailed VESIT admission routes
VESIT admits through Maharashtra State CAP on MHT-CET merit, an All-India route via JEE Main, and a dedicated Minority quota for Sindhi-community candidates.
Vivekanand Education Society's Institute of Technology (institute code 03185) is an Un-Aided, Autonomous engineering institute in Chembur, Mumbai, affiliated to the University of Mumbai. It is registered with the State CET Cell as a Sindhi Linguistic Minority institution. Admission runs through the Maharashtra State Centralised Admission Process (CAP) on MHT-CET merit, with a confirmed All-India seat share filled via JEE Main, and a separate Minority quota reserved for Sindhi-community candidates.
| Admission route | Accepted exam / selection basis | What the applicant must verify |
|---|---|---|
| Maharashtra State CAP | MHT-CET merit through State CET Cell CAP (State-Level Open and other state categories) | Category, seat type, branch choice code, round and reporting deadline |
| Minority quota | MHT-CET merit within the CAP process, reserved for Sindhi-community candidates | Eligible community proof and the specific minority-quota merit list, separate from the State-Level list |
| All-India CAP | JEE Main score, allotted through the same CAP process | Confirm the current year's All-India seat count per branch in the official seat matrix |
The Sindhi linguistic minority quota, explained
VESIT's minority quota is a separate, often larger seat pool reserved for Sindhi-community candidates, running its own merit list within the same CAP process.
VESIT's status as a Sindhi Linguistic Minority institution is not a marketing label — it is a constitutional minority-institution designation that changes how a real share of seats is filled. In the CAP Round I 2026-27 allotment for Computer Engineering, for example, the branch carried 75 State-Level seats and 92 Minority seats — the minority pool was larger than the general CAP pool for that branch.
Minority-quota seats are filled from a separate merit list of eligible Sindhi-community candidates, allotted alongside — not instead of — the State-Level and All-India lists. A candidate who does not belong to the eligible community competes only for State-Level and All-India seats; a candidate who does can also be considered for the minority pool, which in several VESIT branches extends much further down the percentile range than the State-Level list, because it draws from a smaller applicant pool.
| Branch | State-Level seats | Minority seats | All-India seats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer Engineering | 75 | 92 | 13 |
| Information Technology | 75 | 92 | 13 |
| Electronics and Telecommunication Engg | 50 | 61 | 9 |
| Electronics and Computer Science | 25 | 31 | 4 |
| Automation and Robotics | 25 | 31 | 4 |
| Artificial Intelligence and Data Science | 50 | 61 | 9 |
What this means for a preference list: a Sindhi-community candidate should check both the State-Level closing merit and the (typically less competitive) minority-list closing merit for their target branch before assuming they need the tighter State-Level cutoff to gain admission. A candidate outside the eligible community should plan only against the State-Level and All-India figures.
Fees (2026-27)
VESIT's own AY2026-27 fee table states the Open-category First Year total as ₹1,55,000, and its own tuition and development figures sum exactly to that total.
| Category | Tuition Fee | Development Fee | Other Fees | Grand Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | ₹1,34,783 | ₹20,217 | ₹0 | ₹1,55,000 |
| OBC / EBC / SEBC | ₹67,392 | ₹20,217 | ₹0 | ₹87,609 |
| VJ / NT / SBC / TFWS | ₹0 | ₹20,217 | ₹0 | ₹20,217 |
| SC / ST | ₹0 | ₹0 | ₹1 | ₹1 |
| Female students (EBC/OBC/SEBC/EWS) | ₹0 | ₹20,217 | ₹0 | ₹20,217 |
| J&K / GOI / NEUT | ₹15,000 | ₹5,000 | ₹3,500 | ₹23,500 |
| PMSSS | ₹0 | ₹0 | ₹1 | ₹1 |
This table checks itself. The Open-category row's own tuition and development figures (₹1,34,783 + ₹20,217) sum exactly to the stated grand total (₹1,55,000) — the same self-verification pattern this site prefers wherever the source document allows it.
Additional charges, per the same official document: a refundable Caution Money deposit of ₹5,000 is collected after all admission rounds are complete; an optional Yuvaraksha Insurance fee of ₹125 applies only to students who choose to opt in. Against-CAP vacant seats (ACAP) are charged at the Open-category rate of ₹1,55,000 regardless of the candidate's actual category.
Seats and intake 2026-27
VESIT offers six B.Tech branches for 2026-27, with sanctioned intake ranging from 60 to 180 seats.
| Branch | Choice code | Sanctioned intake |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Engineering | 0318524510 | 180 |
| Information Technology | 0318524610 | 180 |
| Electronics and Telecommunication Engg | 0318537210 | 120 |
| Electronics and Computer Science | 0318590010 | 60 |
| Automation and Robotics | 0318591610 | 60 |
| Artificial Intelligence and Data Science | 0318599510 | 120 |
| Total (regular) | — | 720 |
Each branch also carries a small TFWS (Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme) supplementary intake — for example, 9 additional seats for Computer Engineering and Information Technology, 6 for Electronics and Telecommunication Engg, and 3 each for Electronics and Computer Science and Automation and Robotics — filled from a separate TFWS-only merit list within the same CAP round.
CAP cutoff 2026-27
CAP Round I 2026-27 State-Level Open closing figures are held for all six branches — this page states one year, not a multi-year trend.
| Branch | Closing merit · percentile |
|---|---|
| Computer Engineering | 8360 · 98.0655851 |
| Information Technology | 10746 · 97.4745389 |
| Artificial Intelligence and Data Science | 10625 · 97.5152589 |
| Electronics and Computer Science | 11997 · 97.1923599 |
| Electronics and Telecommunication Engg | 12534 · 97.0771560 |
| Automation and Robotics | 15467 · 96.3893250 |
Each cell reads "closing merit number · closing percentile" for the last plain State-Level Open allotment in that branch's CAP Round I list. Lower merit number and higher percentile both mean a tighter cutoff.
An honest scope limit, stated rather than hidden: this page holds CAP Round I 2026-27 figures only. Unlike the VJTI, Cummins College and PES Modern College pages on this site, no prior-year (2023-25) cutoff data has been sourced yet for VESIT, so no multi-year trend is shown here.
State-Level cutoff is not the whole picture at VESIT. Because a large minority-quota seat pool runs alongside these State-Level seats (see the quota section above), a Sindhi-community candidate whose percentile falls short of the State-Level figures above should still check the separate, typically less competitive minority-list closing merit for the same branch.
Placements
VESIT's own placement statistics page states an aggregate placed/offers/recruiters/highest-package figure for the 2025-26 cycle (marked preliminary) — no average, median or recruiter names are published, and none is estimated here.
VESIT's own placement statistics page publishes aggregate figures for the ongoing 2025-26 placement cycle, marked as preliminary at the time of capture:
| Metric | Figure |
|---|---|
| Students placed | 543 |
| Total offers | 589 |
| Recruiters | 140 |
| Highest package | ₹15 LPA |
What this page does not state, and will not invent: an average or median package, or the names of recruiting companies. The official statistics page does not publish either. An earlier draft of this page named specific recruiters (including major investment banks) and cited a highest package of ₹14.5 LPA with a specific 393-placed/408-offer count for "2024-25" — none of those figures could be verified against VESIT's own published statistics and have been removed rather than carried forward.
If a branch-wise breakdown, an average or median package, or a recruiter list matters to your decision, ask VESIT's Training and Placement Cell directly — this page will not estimate one from unverifiable figures.
Admission and payment safeguards
No consultant can replace CET Cell merit, minority-community eligibility proof, or VESIT's own payment instructions.
| Checkpoint | Verify from | Do not proceed when |
|---|---|---|
| Application route | State CET Cell CAP portal | The form is hosted only on an agent's link or personal account |
| Merit list / allotment | Official CAP allotment notice, correct list (State-Level, Minority, or All-India) | A seat is promised without a published merit or allotment process |
| Minority-quota eligibility | VESIT's own published minority-community eligibility criteria | Eligibility is assumed rather than confirmed against the institute's documented criteria |
| Fee demand | VESIT's own payment instructions and the fee table on this page | Cash, personal UPI or a third-party bank account is requested |
| Reporting | Current CET Cell notice, required originals and receipt | The deadline, document list or acknowledgement is missing |
Future Career Guidance can help a student read the route, compare options and prepare documents. It cannot override CAP merit, create a seat, or replace VESIT's own admission office and payment systems.
Common mistakes that cost VESIT applicants a seat
Most errors at VESIT come from misreading the minority quota, or treating a single headline placement figure as more than it states.
| The mistake | Why it misleads | What to read instead |
|---|---|---|
| Assuming the State-Level cutoff is the only relevant figure | Minority-quota seats (92 of 180 in Computer Engineering) run a separate, often less competitive merit list for eligible Sindhi-community candidates. | The minority-quota section above and the current year's minority-list closing merit |
| Treating VESIT's ₹15 LPA highest package as an average outcome | This is a single highest-package figure from a preliminary 2025-26 statistics page, not an average or median. | Ask the Training and Placement Cell for a branch-wise average or median directly |
| Assuming ACAP (Against-CAP vacant) seats carry a category-based fee | The official fee circular states ACAP seats are charged at the flat Open-category rate (₹1,55,000) regardless of the candidate's actual category. | The Fees section above |
| Assuming this page's cutoff table reflects a multi-year trend | Only 2026-27 data has been sourced for this institute so far — a single year cannot show direction. | Confirm the current year's cutoff directly with VESIT or the CET Cell before relying on a historical assumption |

Frequently asked questions
What is the VESIT institute code and admission route for 2026-27?
VESIT uses institute code 03185 and admits through Maharashtra State CAP on MHT-CET merit (State-Level Open and other state categories), a confirmed All-India route via JEE Main, and a dedicated Minority quota for Sindhi-community candidates, all within the same CAP process.
What is the official VESIT B.Tech fee for 2026-27?
VESIT's own AY2026-27 fee table states the Open-category First Year total as ₹1,55,000 (Tuition ₹1,34,783 + Development ₹20,217). SC/ST candidates pay a nominal ₹1; other reserved categories are shown separately, plus a refundable ₹5,000 caution deposit collected after admission rounds.
What is VESIT's Sindhi minority quota, and does it apply to me?
VESIT is registered as a Sindhi Linguistic Minority institution. A share of seats in every branch — often larger than the general State-Level pool — is reserved for eligible Sindhi-community candidates and filled from a separate, typically less competitive merit list within the same CAP process. It applies only to candidates who meet the institute's documented community-eligibility criteria.
Is the VESIT 2026 cutoff available?
Yes — this page holds CAP Round I State-Level Open closing figures for 2026-27 across all six branches. Computer Engineering closed tightest at merit 8,360 (98.07 percentile); Automation and Robotics closed loosest at merit 15,467 (96.39 percentile). Only one year is held so far, not a multi-year trend.
What do VESIT's own placement figures show?
VESIT's own placement statistics page states 543 students placed, 589 offers, 140 recruiters and a highest package of ₹15 LPA for the 2025-26 cycle (marked preliminary at capture). No average, median or recruiter names are published, and this page does not estimate any.
Does VESIT offer on-campus hostel accommodation?
This page has not located hostel information on the official VESIT website. VESIT is a day college in Chembur, Mumbai — if hostel accommodation matters to your decision, confirm directly with the institute.
Can a consultant or outside agent guarantee VESIT admission?
No. Admission runs entirely through the State CET Cell's CAP merit and allotment process, including the minority quota. A counsellor can explain eligibility, documents and preference strategy, but cannot override merit, create a seat, or replace VESIT's own or the CET Cell's official processes.
Is VESIT autonomous?
Yes. The State CET Cell's own institute records list VESIT (institute code 03185) as Un-Aided and Autonomous, with Sindhi Linguistic Minority status, affiliated to the University of Mumbai.
Extended admission FAQs
How are VESIT's 2026-27 seats divided by branch?
Computer Engineering and Information Technology are the largest branches at 180 seats each, followed by Electronics and Telecommunication Engg and Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at 120 each, and Electronics and Computer Science and Automation and Robotics at 60 each. Each branch also carries a small TFWS supplementary intake.
What does the VESIT CAP cutoff table represent?
The figures shown are CAP Round I State-Level Open closing merit numbers and percentiles for 2026-27, read directly from the State CET Cell's own allotment list PDF for institute code 03185. They describe where this specific round's general seats closed, not a standard VESIT sets in advance, and they do not account for the separate minority-quota list.
Why does this page not show an average or median placement package for VESIT?
Because VESIT's own placement statistics page does not publish one — it states only aggregate placed, offers, recruiters and highest-package figures for the 2025-26 cycle, marked preliminary. This page follows the same rule applied across this site: no figure is estimated or invented where the primary source does not state one.
How do I apply for a VESIT fee scholarship?
EBC/OBC/SEBC/EWS scholarship benefits are applicable to all branches for candidates allotted seats through CAP, provided the correct caste category is selected on the Pre-Admission form. Confirm the current process directly with VESIT before assuming automatic reimbursement.
How should I place VESIT branches in my preference order?
Order only branches you would genuinely join, and check both the State-Level and (if eligible) minority-quota closing merit for each branch rather than assuming a single cutoff applies to your application.
What documents should I prepare for VESIT CAP reporting?
Use the current CET Cell brochure and reporting notice. The standard set includes your MHT-CET or JEE Main scorecard, Class 10 and 12 records, leaving certificate, identity and nationality proof, allotment and payment receipts, plus domicile, category, minority-community, income, gap or migration documents where applicable.
Does VESIT have an All-India quota?
Yes — the CAP allotment documents for institute 03185 show a confirmed All-India seat share (4 to 13 seats per branch, depending on branch size) filled via JEE Main scores within the same CAP process.
What happened to the earlier version of this page?
An earlier draft of this page carried unsourced superlative language and specific recruiter/package figures that could not be verified against VESIT's own published placement statistics. It has been fully replaced with data read directly from the State CET Cell's CAP allotment lists and VESIT's own fee and placement pages, with gaps (hostel information, an average or median placement figure) stated honestly rather than estimated.
