You can take this college if you have a good financial background, as facilities are good.

Placements: My batch is 2028 B.Tech Computer Engineering. The placements at Somaiya are decent. The highest package is 51 LPA, and around 75–85% of students get placed. Top companies visit the campus. The most helpful thing is that the college offers a semester-long internship. It means in the final year you can do a 6-month internship without coming to college or attending exams. You are graded based on your internship.

Dissatisfied with the placements this year, good campus and hostels, good exposure .

Placements: The placements are pretty decent for computer and IT branch. But for EXTC and other branches it is very hard for them to be placed. If you are from computer and IT, you can expect a package of 9-10 LPA, if you perform well and have the skills. Many companies that are in Fintech come to hire. But the placement percentage is decreasing year by year, don't know if it is due to recession or not.
