How BE/B.Tech Seats Are Allotted

TCET does not hold its own entrance test or interview for BE/B.Tech selection.

Students must choose the correct General or Minority pool when entering TCET preferences.

Steps to Apply for BE/B.Tech

  • Take MHT-CET 2026 or JEE Main 2026 and obtain a valid scorecard.
  • Create an application on the DTE Maharashtra CAP portal and upload the required documents and scorecard.
  • Enter TCET in the preference list under the applicable General or Minority pool.

  • At reporting, pay the non-refundable processing charge of INR 1,000.
  • To seek an Institute-Level seat, complete the separate pre-admission form at admission.tcetmumbai.in. TCET processes these seats directly after CAP rounds.

MCA and ME Admission Process

MCA applicants enter the DTE Maharashtra CAP process using MAH-MCA-CET scores, while ME applicants use GATE scores. Final-year students may apply for MCA, but TCET must receive proof of degree completion before confirming admission.

ME admissions also carry the 51% Hindi Minority reservation. GATE applicants whose mother tongue is Hindi may gain admission with lower scores than applicants in the open DTE CAP pool. Most Mumbai engineering colleges fill their ME seats entirely through open CAP, making this reservation less common.
