B.E. in Mechanical Engineering 

at St. Francis Institute of Technology, Borivali West

To get admission into Francis Institute of Technology (SFIT), follow these  steps:

1. Give MHT-CET or JEE Main exam: For admission into SFIT, you need a score of MHT-CET or JEE Main.

2. Apply through cAP Round: Fill your choices for SFIT under the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) run by the state government of Maharashtra.

3. Document Verification and Submit Fees: Once you get the seat, complete the required document verification and submit the college fees.

St. Francis Institute of Technology is an Tier 2 engineering college. This one boasts quality and infrastructure in education. However, it definitely does not come anywhere close to the IITs or the NITs, which are as good as it gets. SFIT is an excellent place to learn if one values quality education within the frame work of infrastructure and industry relationships. For students hailing from Mumbai, it is a good option. However, it usually does not offer the same national profiles or cut-offs as the best institutions, which classifies it in the Tier 2 category. 

After JEE session 2 is completed, only those candidates who are aiming for IITs need to start preparing for JEE Advanced after clearing JEE Main. Those who are above the 98th percentile should start preparing for JEE Advanced as soon as possible. Those below this, between the 95th and 98th percentile, should focus on attempting more mock tests and previous year question papers so that they have a better chance of clearing JEE Advanced

The best course at St. Francis Institute of Technology (SFIT) is basically according to the student's interest. Among all these, Computer Engineering and IT are the most competitive as well as sought after courses. These branches have a good placement record, too, with top companies like TCS, Capgemini, and Cognizant recruiting students graduating from here. Students from these departments receive more attractive packages than others. In addition to this, the industry is highly in need of IT professionals, so these courses are in demand. But the course is also quite good for Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (EXTC) because it provides them with proper technical exposure.

St. Francis Institute of Technology accepts the GATE score for its M.Tech courses. GATE is the entrance exam applied to judge the candidates in different engineering disciplines for the majority of M.Tech courses at SFIT. Unless and until a candidate has a valid GATE score, they are not eligible for counseling and allotment of seats. Besides the score, the candidates with valid GATE scores get priority in admission. However, some institutes also screen their admissions based on the merit acquired in academics for specific M.Tech specializations.

St. Francis Institute of Technology, SFIT, has managed to earn a position among the good engineering colleges in Mumbai for quality teaching, infrastructure and placement opportunities for students. It may not be on top at all times, but the institution is always good enough in terms of student satisfaction as well as campus recruitments. SFIT is basically an institute with engineering orientation and most of them prefer it for internship programs for students afterwards being placed in industries. However, whether this is the best depends upon individual preference, as there are other top colleges like IIT Bombay, VJTI, and Sardar Patel Institute of Technology, which also hold high regard in Mumbai.
