To be eligible, you should have completed a diploma in engineering or technology with at least 45% marks (40% for reserved categories from Maharashtra) from an AICTE or government-approved institution.

Admissions are conducted through the Direct Second Year Engineering (DSE) process managed by the State CET Cell, Maharashtra. You need to apply through their official website and participate in the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) .

Hope it helps !
