COEP B.Tech Selection Criteria 2026

Maharashtra CAP prepares separate inter-se merit lists for the MHT-CET and JEE Main admission tracks. Seats are allotted only by entrance exam score and category within the relevant quota. COEP does not conduct a personal interview or group discussion for this process.

  • State quota merit rank is decided by MHT-CET percentile.
  • All India quota merit rank is decided by JEE Main percentile.
  • Maharashtra reservation rules apply, including SC (13%), ST (7%), OBC (19%), EWS (10%), VJ (3%), NT categories, and PwD (5% horizontal).
  • For MHT-CET ties, Mathematics marks at the 10+2 level are used to break the tie in merit rank.

Key Insight: COEP Computer Science Engineering needs very competitive MHT-CET ranks. Mechanical and E&TC are comparatively more reachable. For many students with JEE Main scores below 99 percentile, the MHT-CET state quota can be a steadier route to COEP CSE. Branch-wise closing ranks should be checked in the official CAP round-wise allotment lists at cetcell.mahacet.org.
