Entrance Exams

Admission to the B.E. / B.Tech programs is primarily entrance exam-based. The institute accepts scores from the Maharashtra Health and Technical Common Entrance Test (MHT CET), which is mandatory for Maharashtra State candidates, and Joint Entrance Examination Main (JEE Main) for candidates from all India or Jammu & Kashmir migrant categories. Postgraduate engineering programs (M.E. / M.Tech) require candidates to appear for MHTCET MTech or the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). For the MBA program, admission is based on national-level management entrance exams such as MAT, XAT, CMAT, or other accepted tests. Qualifying these exams with suitable scores is essential for progressing to the counselling and selection phases.

Selection Criteria

Candidates are shortlisted for admission based on their performance in the respective entrance exams and merit lists prepared by the common counselling authority for Maharashtra Technical Education or JEE Main counselling boards. The institute adheres to the regulatory admission norms and reservation policies applicable at the state and national levels. Selection is merit-driven with seat allotment conducted through a centralized counselling process where candidates list their college and course preferences. Candidates must participate in counselling rounds and confirm their admission by paying fees and submitting documents before deadlines. Additionally, lateral entry admissions for diploma holders and certain reserved category seats may have separate selection processes.

Admission Timeline

The admission timeline aligns with the schedules published by the MHT CET cell, JEE Main authorities, and state counselling bodies. Typically, the application process opens between December and February each year for entrance exams scheduled in April to June. Results and merit lists are published by late May to July. Counselling sessions for seat allotment commonly start in July and extend up to September, with multiple rounds conducted based on seat availability and candidate preferences. It is crucial for applicants to regularly monitor official notifications and adhere to deadlines for registration, document submission, seat confirmation, and fee payment to avoid forfeiture of admission.
