GECA BE Selection Process

GECA does not hold a separate entrance examination, group discussion, or personal interview for BE seats. DTE Maharashtra prepares the merit position and completes allotment using the following rules:

  • For most applicants, the MHT CET percentile is the main basis for shortlisting.
  • A JEE Main percentile is also valid. DTE Maharashtra converts JEE Main marks into a normalised score so that these applicants can be compared with MHT CET applicants.
  • The college and branch preferences entered during CAP choice filling decide which available seat may be allotted.
  • Maharashtra reservation rules cover SC, ST, VJ/DT (NT-A), NT-B, NT-C, NT-D, OBC, SBC, EWS, and Minority categories.
  • Home University preference is applied according to the domicile and local-area rules set by DTE Maharashtra.

Direct Admission at GECA: No direct route is offered for government-aided BE seats. Every applicant must take part in DTE Maharashtra CAP with an MHT CET or JEE Main rank. Seat-allotment questions may be directed to DTE Maharashtra at dtemaharashtra.gov.in.
