Hello,

Certainly, gaining admission to an engineering college in Pune for Computer Science without any donation is achievable, particularly if you possess a good MHT CET or JEE Main score and submit your application through the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) organized by the Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell. Pune is home to numerous esteemed private colleges, such as Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering (PCCOE), Dr. D. Y. Patil Institute of Technology, MIT-WPU, Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT Pune), and Sinhgad Institutes, which provide B.Tech in Computer Science and admit students solely based on merit.

Although certain colleges might charge more, numerous institutions provide full 4-year CSE programs within a budget of 7–8 lakh (not including hostel and other costs), particularly if you belong to the state quota or a reserved category. Checking the fee structure, availability of scholarships, and whether each college is assisted or unassisted is crucial.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hello,

If you are assigned a seat in INI-CET round 2 and decide not to accept or enroll in the designated college, then there is a chance that you might incur a penalty, based on the regulations set by AIIMS and the INI-CET counselling authorities for that specific year.

Typically, once a seat is assigned in any round, particularly from round 2 onward, if the candidate does not report or enroll in the college, they might be disqualified from subsequent counselling rounds and may also lose the security deposit. Moreover, certain institutions might levy monetary fines or hold onto a segment of the paid fees.

Reading the official counselling brochure and guidelines carefully before engaging in the counselling rounds is essential to ensure you understand the financial and procedural consequences of not accepting a designated seat.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hey, that’s an awesome TNR – 330 in Stream 1 is seriously impressive! Based on past trends at SASTRA University, you’re in a really strong position for admission into top branches.

With that rank, getting B.Tech CSE is almost guaranteed. SASTRA fills its seats in Stream 1 mostly through JEE Main score combined with board marks, and ranks under 500 typically get the most in-demand courses, especially in the first round itself.

As for CSE (Specialization) – like CSE with Data Science or AI – it’s usually just a bit more competitive than core CSE, but you’re comfortably within range for that too. These specializations are in high demand, but they don’t usually close before rank 400–500, so you're safe.

B.Tech IT is even more accessible with your rank, so if for any reason you wanted that as a backup, it's definitely going to be available. But with your TNR, you should be aiming right at CSE or CSE with specialization.
