Mumbai has more than 90 BTech colleges, including government institutes, autonomous engineering colleges, deemed universities, and private institutions. The city’s engineering education system is led by institutions such as IIT Bombay, Institute of Chemical Technology Mumbai, Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute, Sardar Patel Institute of Technology, and K. J. Somaiya College of Engineering. Admissions in most Mumbai engineering colleges are conducted through MHT CET and Maharashtra CAP counselling, while IIT Bombay admits students through JEE Advanced and JoSAA.
Fee structures vary widely across colleges. Government institutions such as VJTI and ICT Mumbai have comparatively lower BTech fees, generally between INR 2–4 lakhs for the full programme. IIT Bombay’s total BTech fee is around INR 9.2 lakhs. Private colleges such as SPIT, DJSCE, and KJSCE typically have total BTech fees ranging from INR 4–10 lakhs depending on the branch and category.
Placement data also differs by institution and specialisation. IIT Bombay reported an average BTech package of around INR 23.5 LPA, with technology, consulting, and finance companies among the largest recruiters. VJTI Mumbai reported average engineering packages near INR 12 LPA, while SPIT Mumbai recorded average packages around INR 14.5 LPA. KJSCE reported packages crossing INR 1 crore internationally in recent placement cycles. ICT Mumbai continues to remain focused on chemical, polymer, and pharmaceutical engineering placements, with recruiters from sectors such as oil & gas, FMCG, and speciality chemicals.

Students looking for BTech colleges in Mumbai can also explore engineering institutes located in Pune, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Nagpur, Nashik, and Aurangabad. These cities host IITs, state government engineering colleges, autonomous institutes, deemed universities, and private engineering colleges offering programmes in CSE, AI & ML, IT, ECE, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Data Science, and other specialisations.
Mumbai is India's most distinctive BTech city: it has IIT Bombay (#3 NIRF nationally) and ICT Mumbai (#41 Engineering) — two of India's top 45 engineering institutions — alongside a deep network of private autonomous colleges (SPIT, KJSCE, DJSCE, TSEC, Fr. CRCE) that consistently deliver placement packages of INR 12–20+ LPA. No other Indian city has this combination of an IIT, a specialised national institute, and multiple top-performing private engineering colleges within the same metro.

VJTI Mumbai (Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute, est. 1887) is the oldest engineering institution in Mumbai — predating IIT Bombay (1958) by 71 years. Established under the reign of Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad of Baroda in 1887, VJTI is one of India's oldest continuously operating technical institutions. Its MHT CET Computer Engineering cutoff of rank 112 (percentile 99.961) reflects the calibre of students it attracts — comparable to top NIT cutoffs nationally. VJTI's avg INR 12 LPA at INR 3.37 L total fee gives a 359% ROI — the highest of any Mumbai government BTech college.
| College | Total BTech Fee | Admission |
|---|---|---|
| IIT Bombay | INR 9.2 L total | JEE Advanced + JoSAA (josaa.nic.in) |
| ICT Mumbai — Institute of Chemical Technology | INR 2 L total | MHT CET / JEE Main → Maharashtra CAP (dtemaharashtra.gov.in; NOT JoSAA) |
| VJTI Mumbai | INR 3.37 L total | MHT CET / JEE Main → Maharashtra CAP (NOT JoSAA) |
| SPCE Mumbai — Sardar Patel College of Engineering | INR 2–3 L total | MHT CET → Maharashtra CAP |
| DJSCE Mumbai — Dwarkadas J Sanghvi College | INR 4–6 L total | MHT CET → Maharashtra CAP |
VJTI and ICT Mumbai both use CAPAI (Centralised Process to Autonomous Institutes) within the Maharashtra CAP framework — a specific sub-process for autonomous institutions. Students targeting VJTI or ICT Mumbai should verify registration requirements at dtemaharashtra.gov.in during the counselling window, as CAPAI has a slightly different documentation process than the general CAP for SPPU-affiliated colleges.

Mumbai's private BTech landscape is dominated by SPPU autonomous colleges in the western suburbs (Andheri, Vile Parle, Bandra) and a few private universities (NMIMS, Somaiya Vidyavihar). SPIT, KJSCE, DJSCE, Fr. CRCE, and TSEC are among Mumbai's most consistently sought-after private engineering colleges with MHT CET cutoffs above 99.5 percentile for CSE.
| College | BTech Fee (Total) | Avg / Highest Package | Admission |

VJTI Mumbai (Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute, est. 1887) is the cheapest quality BTech college in Mumbai at approximately INR 3.37 Lakhs total (INR 84,275/year) — combining the lowest fee with avg INR 12 LPA placement among Mumbai government engineering colleges. ICT Mumbai at approximately INR 2 Lakhs total is cheaper but offers only chemical/polymer/pharma engineering specialisations.
IIT Bombay is the best BTech CSE college in Mumbai (and #3 nationally) — CSE 258/277 placed (93%+), avg IIT Bombay UG INR 23.50 LPA, highest INR 1.68 Cr. For MHT CET students: VJTI's Computer Engineering (MHT CET rank 112 / 99.961 percentile) is the next best, followed by SPIT (99.5+), KJSCE (avg INR 20 LPA), DJSCE, and Fr. CRCE.
| College | Admission Route | Total Fee |

VJTI's Computer Engineering cutoff (rank 112 / percentile 99.961) reflects that only approximately the top 112 students in Maharashtra's MHT CET rank list can access VJTI Computer Engineering. This is the equivalent of NIT-level competition intensity for a Maharashtra state counselling seat. The MHT CET students who score this high typically have JEE Main scores in the 98th–99.5th percentile range nationally — meaning VJTI Computer Engineering attracts a peer cohort comparable to lower-ranked NIT CSE branches.
Mumbai's top BTech colleges (VJTI, SPIT, KJSCE) are among the most competitive MHT CET destinations in Maharashtra — requiring 99.5–99.961 percentile for Computer Engineering. The 2025 confirmed VJTI cutoff data shows precisely how selective these institutions are.
| College | Branch | MHT CET Cutoff (Open, 2025) |
|---|---|---|
| VJTI Mumbai | Computer Engineering | 99.961 percentile |
| VJTI Mumbai | Information Technology | 99.919 percentile |
| VJTI Mumbai | Civil Engineering | 98.42 percentile |
| SPIT Mumbai | Computer Engineering | 99.5+ percentile |
| KJSCE Mumbai | Computer Engineering | 99.0–99.5 percentile |
| DJSCE / Fr. CRCE / TSEC | Computer Engineering | 99.0–99.5 percentile |
| ICT Mumbai | Chemical Engineering | 98.0–99.5 percentile |
| SPCE Mumbai | Computer Engineering | 96–98 percentile |
| Mid-tier private (TSEC/VCET etc.) | Computer Engineering | 85–96 percentile |
Mumbai BTech admission has two entirely separate systems. Only IIT Bombay uses JEE Advanced + JoSAA. Every other Mumbai BTech college uses MHT CET + Maharashtra CAP. This is the most critical planning point for Mumbai BTech applicants.
| Exam / System | Who Applies | Mumbai Colleges Covered |
|---|---|---|
| JEE Advanced + JoSAA | All-India; 75%+ Class 12 + JEE Main qualified; top ~2.5 lakh qualifiers | IIT Bombay ONLY. No other Mumbai BTech college participates in JoSAA. IIT Bombay CS AI closing rank: top 60–100 Gen AI (most competitive CSE in India). |
| MHT CET + Maharashtra CAP | Maharashtra + All-India (15%); 45%+ PCM; any board | ALL other Mumbai BTech colleges: ICT Mumbai, VJTI, SPCE, SPIT, DJSCE, Fr. CRCE, TSEC, KJSCE, BVCoE, and 80+ others. 85% Maharashtra seats; 15% All-India. VJTI/ICT accept JEE Main through DTE Maharashtra (NOT JoSAA). |
| JEE Main (via DTE Maharashtra, NOT JoSAA) | All-India; 75%+ Class 12; JEE Main score | VJTI Mumbai, ICT Mumbai, SPCE, SPIT and other SPPU/Mumbai autonomous colleges accept JEE Main through DTE Maharashtra state counselling. NOT through josaa.nic.in. Separate DTE registration required. |
| NMIMS Own Entrance / JEE Main | All-India; 60%+ PCM; NMIMS-specific | NMIMS Mumbai (MPSTME) — Vile Parle. Accepts JEE Main alongside NMIMS own test. |
