• For government quota seats, TS POLYCET is mandatory .

• For non-government seats , you can explore management or spot admissions .

With an 81.6 percentile in MHT CET (OBC) , your estimated rank is around 19,000–32,000 , placing you in a middle bracket, not the very top, but still strong. Here are the top Pune engineering colleges where you are realistically in contention for Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering

• Top Choice: PCCOE - strong placement prospects and good brand value

• Second Tier: AISSMS – aim for Mechanical or Electrical

• Safe Picks: SCOE and SAE – reliable backup options

• Avoid COEP as admission is out of reach at this percentile

Hello Aspirant,

If you are choosing between CIT Kundrathur and SRM Kattankulathur (KTR) for Mechanical Engineering, your decision should depend on your priorities. SRM KTR is a reputed, NAAC A++ and NIRF-ranked university with excellent infrastructure, flexible curriculum, and better brand value. It offers greater exposure through internships, events, and international collaborations. However, for the Mechanical branch, core placements at SRM are moderate, and many companies are IT-based. On the other hand, CIT Kundrathur is gaining recognition for its focus on core engineering, skill development, and affordable fee structure. It provides strong support for core placements and industrial exposure, though it may lack the brand value and infrastructure of SRM. So, if your goal is campus life, brand name, and varied opportunities, SRM KTR is the better choice. But if you are focused on core mechanical engineering with a better return on investment, then CIT Kundrathur is a practical and smart option.

All the best for your career.

hi,

Yes, with 4406 rank in SASTRA University under Stream 2 and being from Andhra Pradesh, you have a good chance to get Mechanical Engineering. In Stream 2, students usually get Mechanical seats up to higher ranks, and your rank is in a safe range. attend the counselling on time and keep Mechanical Engineering as your first option.

Hi there! If you're considering Mechanical Engineering at GIET University, Gunupur in 2025, here’s something that might help you plan better.

Based on previous year trends, the expected cutoff through JEE Main for Mechanical Engineering could fall between 8.5 to 10.5 lakh rank under the All India Quota. For students applying through OJEE, ranks between 7 to 9 lakh have usually been enough to get a seat in this branch. These numbers can vary each year depending on the number of applicants, seat availability, and counselling rounds.

GIET Gunupur has a solid reputation when it comes to core branches like Mechanical Engineering. The college offers good academic support, practical exposure through workshops and labs, and a decent placement record in industries related to manufacturing, design, and automation. For home-state students applying through OJEE, the chances are even better as cutoffs tend to be slightly more relaxed.

If your rank is somewhere close to the expected range, don’t lose hope. Many students get in during the later counselling or mop-up rounds. Keep a close eye on the official counselling schedule, fill as many choices as possible, and make sure to attend all rounds to improve your chances.

Wishing you all the best for your admission journey!

With a 72 percentile, that is, around 120 to 130 marks in MHT CET for Mechanical, top-tier Mumbai colleges are out of reach, but certain Pune institutes like Dr. D.Y. Patil and Sinhgad remain within an attainable range.
