BTech Colleges in Pune Through MHT-CET 2026

COEP MHT-CET 2026 cutoff (expected, Open category): Computer Engineering: 99.5+ percentile, Mechanical: 97+, Civil: 94+, Electronics: 96+. These are closing percentiles from Round 1. Cutoffs drop 1–3 percentile in subsequent rounds. Reserved category cutoffs are 15–25 percentile lower.

All 50+ SPPU-affiliated engineering colleges in Pune accept MHT-CET through DTE Maharashtra's CAP process. This includes COEP, PICT, VIT Pune, MIT-WPU (also own test), SIT Pune (also SET), PCCOE, DYPCOE, AISSMS, Bharati Vidyapeeth, Sinhgad group, JSPM group, and all government-aided and private unaided engineering colleges.

DTE Maharashtra's CAP (Centralized Admission Process) allots BTech seats based on MHT-CET percentile, category, domicile, and college-branch preferences filled by the student. Three CAP rounds are conducted (July–August). Cutoffs are determined by the lowest percentile admitted in each round. Students can float to higher-preference allotments in subsequent rounds.

MHT-CET PCM (for BTech) 2026 pattern: 150 questions, 180 minutes. Physics: 50 questions (100 marks), Chemistry: 50 questions (100 marks), Mathematics: 50 questions (200 marks — 4 marks each). Difficulty level: 60% NCERT, 40% Maharashtra state board. No negative marking.

Yes. If you get a seat in CAP Round 1 but were allotted a lower-preference college/branch, you can participate in Round 2 and 3 with your original preferences intact. This is called 'floating.' In Round 2 and 3, if a better preference opens up, you'll be upgraded. Your Round 1 seat is cancelled only if you get a better allotment.
