BVUCOE Pune Admission Process 2026

The admission process at BVUCOE Pune follows a fixed sequence. The route identified in Step 1 determines every subsequent step. The steps below apply to all programs.

  • Step 1 – Identify your admission route: B.Tech aspirants choose between MHT-CET state quota, JEE Main All India quota, or BVP CET management/institutional quota. M.Tech aspirants confirm whether they hold a valid GATE, BVP CET, or MAH M.Tech CET score, as this also determines the applicable fee structure.
  • Step 2 – Register on the correct portal: MHT-CET registration is completed at cetcell.mahacet.org. BVP CET and direct admissions are handled at bvducet.bharatividyapeeth.edu or bvuniversity.edu.in. JEE Main applicants must have registered through jeemain.nta.nic.in before the respective session deadline.
  • Step 3 – Upload academic documents: B.Tech applicants upload Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets, community certificate (if applicable), and transfer certificate. Lateral entry candidates additionally submit Diploma mark sheets for all semesters. M.Tech applicants submit their undergraduate degree or provisional certificate, all semester mark sheets, and entrance exam scorecard.
  • Step 4 – Fill college and branch preferences: During MHT-CET CAP counselling, candidates enter BVUCOE Pune along with their preferred branch order. BVP CET qualified candidates attend counselling at the Pune-Satara Road campus. Preference order should reflect both branch interest and realistic rank/score expectations.
  • Step 5 – Accept seat allotment and report to the college: On allotment release, candidates report to BVUCOE Pune within the specified window (typically 2 to 4 days) carrying all original documents for in-person verification. This step is mandatory; no seat is confirmed remotely.
