COEP Pune Alumni

Hello Bhakti,

First of all, Congrats on scoring 85 percentile in JEE Mains ! Now, coming to the question of whether you can get admission into COEP with that percentile honestly, it’s a bit difficult especially if you belong to general category.

COEP is one of the top engineering colleges in Maharashtra and is now even an autonomous university (COEP Tech). Because of its reputation, the cutoffs for branches like Computer Science, IT, and Mechanical are usually very high often above 97–98 percentile for open category students. Even for reserved categories like SC, ST, or OBC, the cutoffs remain in the high 80s to mid-90s range depending on the branch. You can still explore the later CAP rounds, where cutoffs sometimes drop a little, and also look into other colleges under the same state technical education system, like:

VJTI Mumbai , Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli or Pune Institute of Computer Technology.

If you're from a reserved category, your chances improve significantly. Also, if you’re flexible with branches like Civil or Production, it might be worth trying.

Hope you will find it helpful!

good afternoon ,the top Engineering Colleges in Pune ( after COEP, MIT-WPU, VIT) are :

PICT (Pune Institute of Computer Technology)    Known for CSE & IT, excellent coding culture, strong alumni network

AIT (Army Institute of Technology)    Great placements, especially in CS/IT; only for wards of army personnel

CCOEW (Cummins College of Engineering for Women)    Women-only college, strong in CS & ECE, good ROI

PCCOE (Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering)    Decent placements, good industry exposure

DY Patil College of Engineering    Popular private college, good infra, moderate placements

AISSMS College of Engineering    NAAC A+ accredited, decent placement, central location

IIIT Pune    Government-backed, strong in CS & ECE, high ROI

IIIT (International Institute of Information Technology)    Focused on IT & CS, good ROI

If you're targeting Computer Science or IT, PICT, IIIT Pune, and Cummins are excellent.

For ROI, GCOEARA (Govt. College of Engineering & Research, Avasari) is unbeatable with low fees and decent placements.

If you're looking for campus life + academics, MIT-WPU and VIT still lead, but AIT and PCCOE offer good balance
