JEE Main

Prospective candidates aiming to pursue a BTech course need to meet the established criteria set by the colleges. Those who fulfill the eligibility conditions are eligible to apply for the course. Below are the common eligibility requirements for admission to BTech colleges in India:

1. Applicants should have successfully completed Class 12 with a minimum aggregate of 60% from a recognised board, with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as core subjects. (Note: The pass percentage may vary among different colleges.)

2. Candidates are required to have taken the JEE Main exam and obtained a valid score. It's important to note that colleges may have specific minimum score requirements, so it's advisable to check the cutoff scores for the colleges to which you are applying.

The admission process typically involves online counseling, where students are allocated seats based on their score/rank in the exam, through which the institute extends offers of admission. Some institutes may also incorporate additional selection processes, such as group discussions or personal interviews.

The selection process for B.Tech at College of Engineering - Pune (COEP) involves both entrance exams and counselling:

Entrance Exams:

• Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET): 80% of B.Tech seats at COEP are filled based on MHT-CET scores. This is the primary entrance exam for engineering colleges in Maharashtra.
• JEE Main: The remaining 20% of seats are filled based on JEE Main scores. While not mandatory,  scoring well in JEE Main can increase your chances of getting into COEP,  especially if you're not from Maharashtra.

Counselling:

• Candidates who score above the cut-off marks in either MHT-CET or JEE Main are eligible for counselling.
• Candidates need to register for counselling and fill in their preferred specializations and colleges.
• Based on their rank and seat availability,  candidates are allotted seats in different rounds of counselling.
• After seat allocation,  candidates need to report to COEP for document verification and fee payment to confirm their admission.

Minimum JEE Main Percentile:

There's no fixed minimum percentile required for JEE Main to get into COEP as it depends on various factors like:

• Category: Cut-off percentiles are usually lower for reserved categories like OBC,  SC,  and ST compared to the General category.
• Specialization: Some specializations at COEP might have higher cut-off percentiles due to higher demand.
• Overall number of applicants: The competition level in a particular year can also affect the cut-off percentiles.

However, to give you a rough idea, the percentile required for getting into COEP through JEE Main can range from 95th to 99th percentile for the General category, depending on the factors mentioned above.
