College of Engineering Pune Shivaji Nagar Answered Questions

According to my knowledge with a score of 150 out of 200 in the MHT CET, you have a strong chance of securing admission to COEP Technological University in Pune, especially in certain engineering branches, maybe not for top branch. Top branches like Computer or IT are highly competitive, so admission there isn't guaranteed. You'll likely get other core branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical depending on cutoffs. If you wish for Computer Engineering you need a percentile of 99.8+.

For the academic year 2023, COEP's B.Tech programme application date has already passed. Applications for the following year (2024) would probably open in the spring or early summer, as the academic year normally starts in July or August. 

To get into COEP for B.Tech, you need to pass 10+2 with PCM and qualify through MHT CET or JEE Main.The admission process is via Maharashtra CAP counseling.Total fees are around INR 2.8 to 6.5 lakhs for the full course depending on category and hostel preferences.

The admission process for BTech course at both colleges, VJTI Mumbai and COEP Pune is almost similar, in which candidates are required to complete their Class 12 from Science stream with an aggregate of 45% Moreover, candidates are selected for COEP BTech admission and VJTI Mumbai BTech admission based on their performance in national-level exams such as JEE Main or MHT-CET. Moreover, the NIRF ranking for COEP Pune in Engineering category is 77, and VJTI Mumbai lies between the ranks of 101 and 150. If we consider the factor of seating capacity, then COEP Pune offers 758 seats over 10 specializations, and VJTI Mumbai offers 540 seats over nine specializations. Conclusively, it is really hard to compare which institution it is easier to get admissions into for BTech courses. Therefore, candidates can choose any of the colleges according to their budget, career goals, and location preference. However, an important thing to note is COEP Pune has a better NIRF ranking than VJTI Mumbai. 

With an 80th percentile in JEE Mains 2025 and being an SC category student with home state quota, you have a reasonable chance of getting into COEP (College of Engineering Pune) for Electrical Engineering, but it's not a guarantee. While an 80th percentile with SC category and home state quota is a good starting point, you need to perform well in the entrance exams (JEE Main and MHT-CET) and actively participate in the counselling process to maximize your chances of getting into COEP for Electrical Engineering.

It is bit difficult to get admission for someone in COEP with a rank of 146k in JEE Mains. For OBC candidates, the rank should be below 40k to get admission in COEP but other reserved candidates can get the admission with 146k rank. Other engineering schools with higher cutoffs can be worth.
