College of Engineering Pune Shivaji Nagar Answered Questions

Direct admission in second year is called lateral entry. The Percentage actually might differ from university to university. In-fact all universities might not accept it. Could you please be more specific if there is any particular university that you prefer admission in, so that I can guide you better?

For NRI the admission procedure is purely based on your 12th standard marks. They only take the percentage of physics, chemistry and maths. Then a list of students is prepared whoever has applied in the order of their percentage. If your merit number is in the beginning then you will mostly get the branch of your choice (1st option in your preference list). Even if your name is not in the 1st round, you do have a chance in round 2 because some students change their mind. Round 2 takes place at the spot and its the final round. There are 3 seats reserved for Gulf and 9 for NRI for all branches except mechanical which is 6-Gulf, and 12-NRI.
Good luck!

In India, one needs to pass or qualify the UGC NET in the said subject to become an assistant professor. However, there has also been a rule that a first division post graduate can also be made the faculty of engineering. UGC NET is, of course, the all accepted eligibility criteria for assistant professor selection.

There are two factors that you should consider while deciding where to take admission: the stream
and institution.
If you are not very particular about the stream that you want, then go for better institution i.e. COEP. But if your interest lies strongly in mechanical and you are not getting mechanical at COEP, then you may join WEC.
All the best!
