- Obtained at least 40% marks in the above subjects taken together for reserved category students.
Alternatively, admission can also be through lateral entry for students who have passed a minimum three-year Diploma examination in a relevant branch of Engineering and Technology with at least 40% marks for reserved category students.

B.Tech. in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering at College of Engineering can be chosen for its good career opportunities, consistently good placement record, and holistic development of students. The curriculum is designed to develop technical and interpersonal skills, offering a wide choice for every learner. The programme also provides opportunities for higher studies and acquiring industry-relevant competencies in core telecommunication disciplines and emerging fields.

Admission criteria for B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering at College of Engineering:
* Duration: 4 years
* Qualifying Examination: Passed 10+2 examination with Physics/ Mathematics/ Chemistry/ Computer Science/ Electronics/ Information Technology/ Biology/ Informatics Practices/ Biotechnology/ Technical Vocational subject/ Agriculture/ Engineering Graphics/ Business Studies/ Entrepreneurship
* Obtained at least 45% marks (40% marks in case of candidates belonging to reserved category) in the above subjects taken together.
* Lateral Entry: * Duration - 3 years* The Candidate should be an Indian National;* Passed minimum three years or two years (Lateral Entry) Diploma Course in Engineering and Technology with at least 45% marks (40% marks in case of Candidates of Backward Class categories, Economically Weaker Section and Persons with Disability category belonging to Maharashtra State) in any branch of Engineering and technology from an All India Council for Technical Education or Central or State Government approved Institution or its equivalent.

To get lateral entry into B.Tech CSE at COEP Tech in 2025, you must have completed a Diploma in engineering with at least 45% marks (40% for reserved categories) and studied Maths. Admission is done through Maharashtra's CAP counselling based on Diploma marks. Only 10% of total seats are for lateral entry, so aim for a strong Diploma score.

The cutoff percentage for the OBC category in the College of Engineering Pune (COEP) for direct second-year admission in Computer Engineering typically ranges between 55% to 65% in the Diploma program. This cutoff may fluctuate each year depending on the number of applicants and available seats. It's best to check the latest admission guidelines from COEP for the exact figures.

Once I look at your information—50.83% in 12th grade and scores below average in MHT CET—it is likely that admission to B.Tech in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence at COEP would be almost impossible. Here's why:Eligibility CriteriaAccording to COEP, those applying in Open category must have a minimum aggregate of 45% in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM) in their 10+2 qualification. For reserved categories, 40% of the posts are needed. Being trained in the subjects of Physics, Chemistry and Biology, you do not qualify for the PCM admission requirement stated by COEP. MHT CET and JEE Main exams are the main ways to be accepted into the institute.The cutoff trends for B.Tech Robotics and AI in COEP five years agoThe final percentile for the General Open (GOPENS) group in 2024 was almost 99.53. The JEE Main Cutoff for the same program was up to a closing rank of 7,717 in the All India category.

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.
