With a JEE Main rank of 35,000 under the EWS quota, securing admission to COEP Technological University (COEP Tech) or Walchand College of Engineering (WCE) Sangli in Maharashtra is highly unlikely through the All India Quota.

COEP Tech, Pune – EWS Quota Cutoffs

COEP Tech is among the top engineering colleges in Maharashtra, and its EWS quota cutoffs are quite competitive. For instance, in 2024, the closing ranks for various branches under the EWS quota were:

  • Computer Science and Engineering : 395

  • Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering : 1,165

  • Mechanical Engineering : 5,631

  • Manufacturing Science and Engineering : 11,142

  • Metallurgy and Material Technology : 18,989

These figures indicate that even the least competitive branches had closing ranks well below 35,000.

JEE Main 2025 rank of approximately 35,000 under the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) quota, securing admission to the College of Engineering Pune (COEP) or Walchand College of Engineering (WCE), Sangli, through the All India Quota is highly unlikely.

Alternative Options:

Given the competitive nature of COEP and WCE admissions, you might consider the following alternatives:

  • State-Level Engineering Colleges : Explore engineering colleges in Odisha or other states where the cutoff ranks are more accommodating.

  • Private Engineering Institutions : Institutes like VIT (Vellore Institute of Technology), SRM Institute of Science and Technology, and Amity University often have more flexible admission criteria.

  • State Entrance Exams : Consider appearing for state-level entrance exams like OJEE (Odisha Joint Entrance Examination) to increase your chances of securing a seat in a reputable college.

Hey there! With a JEE Main rank of 35,000 under the EWS quota, your chances of securing admission to COEP ( College of Engineering Pune) or WCE ( Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli) are limited, especially for the more sought-after branches. As both the colleges are reputed in Maharastra, its cutoff ranks are quite competitive.  For COEP, given your rank of 35,000 securing a seat in CSE or EEE is unlikely. However, there might be a slim chance for Mechanical or Civil Engineering, depending, on the specific cutoffs for the EWS category in the current year.

For WCE Sangli,  with your rank admission to CSE might be challenging, but Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering or Robotics and Automation could be within reach, especially considering the EWS reservation.

So, here's what you can do participate in the counseling process and consider applying to other reputable engineering colleges where your rank aligns better within cutoff trends.

If you need assistance in exploring other colleges or understanding the counselling process, Feel free to ask. All the best!

hi,

With a JEE Main rank of around 35,000 in the EWS category, getting admission into COEP (College of Engineering Pune) or WCE (Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli) for Computer Science is quite difficult. These colleges usually have much better ranks for CSE seats — for example, last year the cutoff rank for EWS at COEP was below 6,000, and at WCE it was even lower.

However, you can still try for other branches like Electronics or IT where the cutoff might be higher. Also, keep an eye on the counselling rounds because sometimes cutoffs go down if seats remain vacant. It’s a good idea to look at other good colleges too, where your rank stands a better chance.
