Computer Science

Numerous entry-level positions in the IT sector become available to those who complete a Diploma in computer Science engineering. You can work as a data entry operator, network technician web developer, junior software developer, or IT support engineer. Many Diploma holders go on to work as system administrators, hardware engineers, or in software testing and quality assurance.

Depending on your location and skill set starting earnings for IT professionals range between 2-4 LPA which guarantees stable work prospects. Upskilling is crucial; you can improve your employment prospects by learning computer languages like Python, Java or C+ or by acquiring certificates in fields like cybersecurity, cloud computing or networking (CCNA). A B.Tech (lateral entrance) or other higher education can increase employment prospects and income possibilities.

Having a percentile of 76 in MHT CET will give you admission opportunities in Maharashtra mid-tier engineering colleges to pursue a B.Tech in Computer Science. Though the cutoffs change year-after-year, here are certain colleges you might look into :-

Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT), Pune - Lower branches may come into play should the cutoff remain marginally high for CSE.
MIT Academy of Engineering, Pune - Pretty good chances for branches that have Computer Science in them.
Dr. D.Y. Patil Institute of Technology, Pune - Good amenities and placements offered.
Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering (PCCOE), Pune - Quite competitive but still achievable.
Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology (RGIT), Mumbai - Good within Mumbai.
JSPM Group of Institutions, Pune - Pretty great quality education though.
Spot rounds and management quota can also be looked at in case of better options.

If you're planning to join a B.E. in Computer Science programme this year, the first step is to check whether admissions are still open at colleges of your choice. Many institutions offer admissions based on entrance exam scores like JEE Main, state-level exams, or their own entrance tests. You'll need to meet the eligibility criteria, which typically includes a 10+2 qualification with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

If entrance-based admissions are closed, you can explore colleges that offer management quota or direct admissions. Make sure to research the college's accreditation, faculty, placements, and facilities before making a decision.
