BE Seat Allocation and Selection

  • For the 65% State Quota, applicants enter their college and branch choices on the CAP portal. DTE Maharashtra uses MHT CET percentiles to allocate seats by merit in successive rounds.
  • The 15% All India Quota uses JEE Main scores. Applicants must register on the DTE Maharashtra CAP portal to take part.
  • SCOE handles the 20% Institute Level Quota itself. Selection depends on MHT CET or JEE Main scores, and applicants approach the college directly. There is no separate interview.
  • When CAP applicants have equal percentiles, higher Mathematics marks receive priority. Physics marks decide the order if the tie continues.
  • Maharashtra domicile applicants receive preference for State Quota seats. Those from other states can use the All India Quota or apply through the Institute Level Quota.

For an Institute Level Quota seat, a valid MHT CET or JEE Main score is compulsory, and admission remains merit-based. Ask the SCOE admissions office through www.sinhgad.edu about vacancies and the application procedure for 2026-27.

Applicants with a lower MHT CET percentile can also consider the college-managed quota. This route may suit students from outside Maharashtra and those whose JEE Main performance is stronger than their MHT CET performance. The SCOE admissions office handles enquiries and applications for these seats.

BE Cutoff Requirements

Computer Engineering generally calls for an MHT CET percentile of 82 or above for General category applicants under the State Quota. Mechanical and Civil Engineering have lower thresholds. Each CAP round can have a different cutoff because the number of available seats and the applicant pool change.

BE Application Procedure

  • Step 1: Complete MHT CET 2026 registration at mahacet.org and take the PCM examination.
  • Step 2: Once results are available, submit a CAP registration through dtemaharashtra.gov.in. Upload the required documents and pay the registration charge.
  • Step 3: Enter your preferred colleges and branches. Select Sinhgad College of Engineering, Pune, at Vadgaon Budruk among your choices.
  • Step 4: After receiving an allotment, confirm the seat, pay the fees and visit SCOE with your original documents.
  • For Institute Level Quota admission, apply through the SCOE admissions office at www.sinhgad.edu. Submit your MHT CET scorecard and Class 12 marksheet.

Student feedback highlights the campus infrastructure and the college's strong alumni links with Pune's IT and manufacturing companies. Computer Engineering and IT are frequently identified as the most popular branches. Students also describe the hostels as well maintained, with annual charges of INR 86,000.
