Your score in MHT CET PCM is 88 percentile, and as such, you may not be able to secure Computer Science in the best government colleges in Pune as they would be expected to take at least a 90 percentile.

But still better private colleges in Pune will have your score with seat of Computer Science like MIT Pune, Vishwakarma Institute or Sinhgad Institutes where cutoffs may be lower.

Hello aspirant,

The majority of top government-funded B.Tech institutions that offer computer science courses are IITs and NITs.  IIT Madras, IIT Delhi, and IIT Bombay are the three most prestigious IITs.  NIT Trichy, NIT Karnataka, and NIT Rourkela are the three most prestigious NITs.  For B.Tech Computer Science programs at IITs, the first-year tuition costs range from INR 2,000,000 to INR 2,50,000.

With 90% in your diploma in Computer Science, you have strong potential for lateral entry (direct into the 2nd year) of B.Tech in Computer Engineering from polytechnic at many top colleges in Mumbai.

To be eligible for lateral entry you usually need at least 50% in diploma (45% for reserved categories), so your 90% is well above that.

Here are some good colleges in Mumbai offering lateral B.Tech in Computer Engineering:

VJTI (Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute)
SPIT (Sardar Patel Institute of Technology)
TCET (Thakur College of Engineering & Technology)
PVPP (Padmashree Vasantdada Patil Polytechnic)
KJ Somaiya School of Engineering
Fr. CRCE (Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering)

In top colleges like VJTI, closing merit for computer engineering is often in the 90+ percentile range, but your marks are competitive.

For mid-tier colleges like SPIT or TCET, closing percentiles range from 90 to 96 percentile. With your high diploma marks, you have a good chance, especially in the direct second-year DSE (Diploma to Second Year Engineering) admission process.

The Maharashtra CAP counseling portal (for 2nd-year admissions) will open later this year. During counseling you can list these colleges in your choices based on your preference. After seat allotment, you’ll need to verify documents and pay the fees.

So yes, 90% in diploma makes you eligible and competitive for good and popular B.Tech Computer Engineering colleges in Mumbai. Just apply during lateral entry counselling and list your preferred colleges.

With 90% in Computer Science Engineering (Diploma), you are well qualified to get admission into B.Tech Computer Engineering through lateral entry (Direct Second Year Engineering) in good colleges in Mumbai.

Here are some well-known colleges in Mumbai where you can apply:

1. Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI) – One of the top government colleges. Very competitive, but with your marks, you have a fair chance.

2. Sardar Patel Institute of Technology (SPIT), Andheri – Good faculty and placement.

3. Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering (Fr. CRCE), Bandra – Well-known private college with decent placements.

4. KJ Somaiya Institute of Technology – A reputed private college offering lateral entry.

5. Thakur College of Engineering and Technology (TCET), Kandivali – Good for placements in CSE/IT.

6. Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, Wadala – Good labs and placement for Computer Engineering.

7. Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering (DJ Sanghvi), Vile Parle – If eligible, it is highly preferred.

How to apply:

You will need to apply through the CAP (Centralized Admission Process) conducted by the State CET Cell, Maharashtra, for Direct Second Year Engineering (DSE). Admission is mostly based on your diploma percentage, and 90% is a strong score.

Hello,

Based on your scores — 92 percentile in MHT CET (PCM) and 83.33 percentile in JEE Main — you can get some good colleges in Maharashtra for BTech in Computer Science Engineering . Here are some options you can consider:

Through MHT CET (92 percentile):

You have a better chance with MHT CET score. Some good colleges you can try for:

• Pune Institute of Computer Technology (PICT), Pune

• Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT), Pune

• MIT-WPU (School of Engineering), Pune

• Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli

• Shri Ramdeobaba College of Engineering and Management (RCOEM), Nagpur

• Government College of Engineering, Aurangabad

• KJ Somaiya College of Engineering, Mumbai (May be tough, but try)

• SPIT Mumbai (Sardar Patel Institute of Technology) (Low chance, but still fill for counselling)

Through JEE Main (83.33 percentile):

Your JEE score is a bit low for top NITs. But still, you can try:

• IIIT Nagpur (May be borderline, depends on category and home state)

• Some private universities in Maharashtra or nearby states that accept JEE scores.

Hope it helps !

Hey! So for the first year of BSc Computer Science, the fees really depend on what kind of college you’re applying to. If it’s a government college, the fees are usually pretty low—somewhere around ten thousand to maybe fifty thousand per year. It’s super affordable and a great option if you’re looking to save on costs.

Now if you're going for a state university or semi-government college, the fees can go a bit higher, like maybe around twenty to seventy thousand per year. These colleges are usually a nice balance between cost and quality.

But if it’s a private college, then the fees are definitely higher. It could be around fifty thousand to even one and a half lakh a year, depending on how popular or established the college is. Some big-name private colleges might even go a little beyond that.

Hello Maruthi,

Yes, you have a decent possibility of securing a seat in Computer Science Engineering with a KCET rank of 77,100 under the ST category in some government or private colleges in Karnataka - especially the rural and newer institutions. This is under the assumption that you would likely not get into the top tier of colleges with such a rank. Using the KCET option entry portal and practicing mock allotments will allow you to be more strategic. KCET College Predictor 2025

You may not get CSE in top colleges, but you can get it in mid- or lower-tier private colleges . For better options, also consider Information Science or AI & ML streams in similar colleges.
