Cummins College Pune Cut Off in Percentile 2026 — Branch-Wise MHT-CET Closing

Cummins College of Engineering for Women in Karvenagar is a women-only engineering college, and that single fact is what makes its cutoff table behave differently from every other college in the Pune order. The seat matrix draws from the women candidate pool rather than the full state pool, so the closing percentiles are not directly comparable to a co-educational college of similar standing — reading them side by side without accounting for that will mislead you in both directions. Within its own pool, Cummins is genuinely contested. It is a government-aided, autonomous institution affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University, admitting through MHT-CET CAP, with state-regulated fees in the aided band rather than the deemed-university band. That combination — aided fees, autonomous curriculum, an established placement record, and a city campus — keeps demand high, and Computer Science and IT close well above the college average every year. As everywhere in Maharashtra, a percentile figure only means something with its qualifiers attached: which CAP round, which category, and whether the seat is Home University or Other Than Home University. And as everywhere, Round I closing percentiles are the highest of the cycle and fall through Rounds II and III. The official State CET Cell round-wise PDFs are the only authoritative source; anything on this page is orientation for reading them, not a substitute.

⚡ Quick Answer

Cummins College of Engineering for Women, Karvenagar, is a women-only, government-aided, autonomous college admitting through MHT-CET CAP with state-regulated fees. Its closing percentiles are drawn from the women candidate pool, so they are not directly comparable to co-educational colleges of similar standing. CSE and IT close highest. Every figure needs its CAP round, category and Home University qualifiers — verify on the official State CET Cell round-wise PDFs.

Why the Women-Only Intake Changes the Reading

The seat matrix at Cummins is filled from women candidates only, which means the closing percentile reflects competition within that pool rather than across the entire MHT-CET cohort. Two consequences follow. First, comparing a Cummins closing percentile directly against a co-educational college's number tells you very little about relative selectivity — the denominators are different. Second, for a woman candidate the practical question is simply whether her percentile clears the Cummins closing figure for her branch and category, which is a straightforward comparison once she is reading the right table. The comparison that does work is Cummins against itself across years, and Cummins branch against Cummins branch.

How to Check Your Own Chances

  1. 1.Download the official State CET Cell round-wise cutoff PDFs for the last three years and locate Cummins by its official college code.
  2. 2.Filter to your branch, your category and your Home University status before comparing anything.
  3. 3.Read the three-year trend rather than a single year — one anomalous cycle is not a pattern.
  4. 4.Place Cummins in the correct band for you: reach if its closing percentile is 2–4 points above yours, realistic if within 2, safe if 5+ below.
  5. 5.Build the option form with all three bands represented and enough safe options that you cannot end unallotted.
  6. 6.Decide your freeze, float and confirm response before Round I allotment is published.

What Aided Status Is Worth Here

  • •Fees are state-regulated and sit in the aided band, not the deemed-university band — the four-year cost difference against a deemed seat is substantial.
  • •MahaDBT, EBC and TFWS scholarship routes apply to regulated fees, so the effective cost for an eligible candidate can fall well below the sticker figure.
  • •Autonomous status means the institute sets its own syllabus and examinations, which generally keeps course content closer to current practice.
  • •Admission is entirely through CAP for state-quota seats — there is no separate institute entrance to write.
  • •Verify NBA accreditation for your specific programme, since it is awarded per programme and expires.
