No, KJ Somaiya College of Engineering (KJSCE), Mumbai does not offer government quota seats for the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) branch or any other program. Since August 2019, the college has been a constituent of Somaiya Vidyavihar University, which is a self-financed private university approved by the UGC. This means all admissions are conducted independently by the university and are not routed through the Maharashtra CAP (Centralized Admission Process) or any government counselling authority.

Admission to CSE at KJSCE is based on scores from JEE Main, MHT-CET, SAT, CUET, or PERA-CET, and students apply directly through the university's portal. While there are merit-based scholarships available, they do not equate to government quota seats.

If you're specifically looking for government quota options, you might want to explore state-run engineering colleges like VJTI Mumbai, COEP Pune, or SGGS Nanded, which participate in the CAP counselling process.

Both of the universities, Sanjay Godawat and Shivaji, are located in Kolhapur and offer BA courses in different specialisation. The eligibility requirements to get admission into these universities are almost similar, in that candidates are required to complete their Class 12 from a recognised board of education with decent scores, and the selection process is based on merit. However, the major difference that makes the admission process hard or easier is that Shivaji University is a public university. Whereas Sanjay Godawat University is a private university. Therefore, getting admission into Shivaji University can be slightly tougher than Sanjay Godawat University. 

The application process for BSc admission at MAHGU is currently ongoing. As of now, the university has not yet specified the application deadline. However, aspirants must not wait till the last date to apply. This is because the university offers a limited number of seats under BSc. Candidates who have completed Class 12 from a recognised board or are currently awaiting their Class 12 results must apply soon. They can do so in online or offline mode. The seat allocation process is expected to be held once the Class 12 results of various boards have been released, which is usually in May/ June. Interested candidates can directly contact the university to learn about the exact admission dates.

The total tuition fee for BA courses at Sanjay Godawat University ranged from INR 1.3 Lacs to INR 1.4 lakh. On the other hand, the total tuition fee for BA courses at Bharati Vidyapeeth ranges from INR 11,100 to INR 13.2 lakh. Hence, it clearly can be seen that Sanjay Godawat University is more affordable than Bharati Vidyapeeth for BA courses. However, the fee structure can be only one component that candidates consider while comparing institutes, but several factors can be taken into account while choosing the best university/college, such as placement packages, seats, ranking of that particular institute, affiliation, accreditation, etc.
