JSPM Pune Cut Off 2026 — College-wise MHT-CET Percentile & Placement Record

JSPM — the Jayawant Shikshan Prasarak Mandal — runs several separate engineering colleges across Pune, and they do not share a cutoff. Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering at Tathawade, Jayawantrao Sawant College of Engineering at Hadapsar, Imperial College of Engineering and Research, Bhivarabai Sawant Institute of Technology and Research, and the Narhe Technical Campus each admit separately through Maharashtra CAP with their own seat matrices, and JSPM University Pune is a further separate entity again. That matters because the spread between them is real. RSCOE is the strongest of the group on both closing percentile and placement record, holding a national NIRF engineering rank and NAAC A accreditation. The others sit progressively below it. A percentile that comfortably secures a seat at one JSPM college may not reach a preferred branch at another, and a placement figure quoted for "JSPM" without a campus attached tells you very little. Across the group JSPM sits in the accessible tier of Pune engineering rather than at the top with COEP and PICT — closing percentiles are reachable for a much wider band of candidates, and fees are state-regulated through CAP. For a student whose percentile does not reach the leading colleges, the practical question is which JSPM campus and which branch, not whether JSPM as a whole is the right choice.

⚡ Quick Answer

JSPM runs several separate engineering colleges across Pune with separate CAP seat matrices and separate cutoffs. RSCOE Tathawade is the strongest on both closing percentile and placements; the others sit below it. Identify the campus before using any figure.

These appear separately in the CAP college listing with distinct college codes. During option filling it is worth checking the code and campus rather than selecting on the JSPM name alone — the campuses are spread right across the city and the daily commute differs enormously between them.

How the Cutoff Is Set

  • •The closing percentile is an outcome of CAP round mechanics, not a threshold the college publishes in advance.
  • •It is the percentile of the last candidate admitted to a given college, branch, category and round.
  • •Computer Engineering and IT close highest at every JSPM campus, as everywhere in Pune.
  • •Mechanical, Civil and Electrical close materially lower, sometimes by several percentile points.
  • •Later rounds close below Round 1 as unconfirmed seats are released.

Placements Across the Group

Placement records differ by campus and by branch, and the group-level figures circulated online blend colleges that place quite differently. RSCOE reports the strongest record of the JSPM colleges. Ask each campus for its branch-level placement percentage and median for the most recent completed season rather than working from a trust-wide average or from a single headline highest package, which at any large group is one exceptional offer.

Building Your CAP Preference List

  1. 1.List specific college-and-branch combinations, using college codes rather than names.
  2. 2.Order them by genuine preference — CAP allots your highest achievable option, so strategic ranking gains nothing.
  3. 3.Check the campus location for each; the JSPM colleges are far apart and the commute is a real factor over four years.
  4. 4.Include options above and below your expected percentile.
  5. 5.Stay in the process through the later rounds rather than withdrawing after Round 1.

Where to Confirm

  • •State CET Cell round-wise cutoff PDFs, filtered by college code, branch and category.
  • •The individual college website for placement reports and admission notices.
  • •The Fee Regulating Authority Maharashtra site for the approved fee at each campus.
