COEP Course Admission 2026: Dates, Fees, Eligibility, Application Process, Selection Criteria

Admission to the B.Tech program in Computer Science and Information Technology at the College of Engineering, Pune (COEP) is based on entrance exams—MHT CET and JEE Main. Applicants must have passed Class 12 with a minimum of 50% in PCM, but a 60% threshold is also referenced. Cutoffs are high due to the college's reputation; for general category, the MHT CET cutoff is around 99 percentile and 95 percentile for JEE Main.

Admission through MHT CET accounts for 85% of seats, with the remaining 15% through JEE Main. Reserved categories such as SC, ST, OBC, and EWS benefit from lower cutoffs and reservation quotas, including special quotas for defense, orphans, and regional candidates. No management seats are available as the admission is solely merit-based. Prospective students undergo Centralized Admission Process (CAP) rounds for college allocation. The MHT CET is considered a moderately difficult exam with a single annual session.

The process involves an online application and document submission, followed by an offline confirmation at the college. Timelines for entrance exams and counseling are announced on the college's official website. Domicile candidates have a competitive edge due to reservations, while those in the general category require high scores to secure a seat.
