  • BE

AI-Generated Summary based on 186 Reviews

To gain admission into the Bachelor of Engineering [BE] in Computer Engineering at Pune Institute of Computer Technology (PICT), candidates must qualify either the MHT-CET or JEE Mains entrance exams. The admission process predominantly occurs through the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) rounds as mandated by the government norms. The general category cutoff for MHT-CET ranges from 99 to 99.75 percentile, while for JEE Mains, it is above 96 percentile. Reserved categories benefit from scholarships and have lower cutoff requirements, with percentile ranges between 68 and 99 depending on the category.

Applicants who opt for the spot round cannot benefit from reservations. For Diploma students entering directly into the second year, the cutoff is between 93-94 percentile in board exams. Post-exam, students participate in counseling by listing their preferred colleges online through CAP rounds. The admission cycle commences shortly after the announcement of MHT-CET results. PICT does not offer management quota admissions. The college is renowned for its excellent placement records and technical events, deeming it a popular choice among students.

High cutoff scores underscore its prestige, making it a challenging yet rewarding pursuit for engineering aspirants.

Admission:

The only reason why I chose this college over the others was beacuse my parents forced me to do so. I had also got the option of taking ENTC Branch in VJTI Mumbai and COEP Pune but my parents insisted I chose this college because I got Computer ENGINEERING branch in this College. The other colleges I applied to include IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi but I couldnt make it there as I didnt qualify for the JEE Advanced Exam.

Admission:

I applied and got admitted into Vishwakarma Institute of Technology - B.Tech in Computer Science. I chose PICT over VIT because of many factors : placements and internship opportunities, coding culture, campus life and overall studies. PICT is better in almost every aspect than VIT except some college life and syllabus strictness. Yes, I applied to COEP and VJTI but didn't get expected branch due to less marks in my JEE Mains. I also got rejected by IIST, IITs, RGIPT, BITS because I got less than 75% in my boards which didn't satisfy the eligibility criteria. I got into PICT by JEE Mains. The last cutoff for JEE Mains is 97.5 %ile to get ENTC in PICT. You require 99%ile+ in MHT-CET to get into PICT.

This college has very good placements that's why I choose it over a local university i got addmission into. The addmission procedure is very smooth as you just need to score good in mht-cet and apply for counselling to get addmission here. The minimum cutoff here is around 98-99%ile for general and goes lower for reserved classes .
