🔍 How we source the numbers on this page. Every fee, cutoff, seat and placement figure below is taken from a named primary document — the Maharashtra State CET Cell CAP-I allotment records (institute 06175), the Fees Regulating Authority of Maharashtra’s approved fee for A.Y. 2026-27 (institute code EN6175), the signed PCCOE hostel-rent notice (ref PCCOE/HF/2026-27) and PCCOE’s own Training & Placement data. Aggregator estimates are not used.
Evidence note. Check the academic year printed beside every changing figure — fees, cut-offs and seat counts are reissued each cycle, and a number from last year reads exactly like this year’s. Nothing on this page should be multiplied to reach a multi-year total; PCCOE publishes one year at a time and does not state that the same amount repeats. A published seat or hostel capacity is what exists, not what you are assured of — publication of capacity does not guarantee allotment. Found an error? Tell us.

PCCOE Pune — Key Facts
Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering (PCCOE), established in 1999 and run by PCET, is a NAAC A-grade autonomous institute affiliated to SPPU, located in the Pimpri-Chinchwad industrial belt. It admits students via MHT-CET and JEE Main and is known for strong industry-linked placements.
- Location: Akurdi, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune, Maharashtra
- Top programmes: Computer Engineering, IT, AI & Data Science, Mechanical, E&TC, Civil
- Intake: ~900 B.Tech seats (Computer Engineering 240, IT 120, AI & Data Science 120, E&TC 180, Mechanical 180, Civil 60 — official CAP-I 2025 sanctioned-intake figures, institute 06175); DTE code 6175
- Entrance: MHT-CET (CE 98.93 percentile, 2025 CAP R1 Open — official cetcell.mahacet.org) and JEE Main (AIR under ~15,000–20,000); merit-based institutional quota; NRI/OCI quota
- Fees (A.Y. 2026-27): Open (CAP merit) total ₹1,94,746/yr — the FRA-approved ₹1,93,000 (tuition ₹1,67,833 + development ₹25,167, approved 27 April 2026) plus ₹1,746 of other charges the FRA total does not cover; OBC/EBC/EWS ₹1,10,830; SC/ST ₹1,746.

PCCOE Pune B.Tech Fee Structure 2026 (CAP Merit & Institutional Quota)
Fees at PCCOE are moderate compared to other premium private colleges in Bangalore or Chennai.
📌 In one line: the FRA approved ₹1,93,000 a year for PCCOE on 27 April 2026; the Open payable total is ₹1,94,746, because ₹1,746 of other charges sits outside the approved figure.
| Category — MHT-CET CAP/ACAP merit seat (FY B.Tech) | Annual Tuition Fee | Development & Other Fees | Total Annual Fee (2026-27) | Reading note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open (Maharashtra) | ₹1,67,833 | ₹26,913 | ₹1,94,746 | FRA-approved 27 April 2026: tuition ₹1,67,833 + development ₹25,167 = ₹1,93,000. The remaining ₹1,746 is other charges, outside the FRA-approved total. |
| Open — Outside Maharashtra | ₹1,67,833 | ₹27,413 | ₹1,95,246 | The same FRA-approved ₹1,93,000, and ₹500 more than the Maharashtra Open total. |
| OBC / EBC / EWS / SEBC | ₹83,917 | ₹26,913 | ₹1,10,830 | Concession band — half the tuition met by the state scheme, on a CAP seat with valid category and income documents. Confirm your eligibility and the exact payable amount with the college before payment. |
| OBC/EWS (Girls) · SBC/VJ/NT · TFWS | ₹0 — tuition fully waived | ₹26,913 | ₹26,913 | Concession band — tuition waived, but development ₹25,167 and other charges ₹1,746 stay payable. TFWS applies only on a TFWS seat allotted through CAP. |
| SC / ST | ₹0 — tuition fully waived | ₹1,746 | ₹1,746 | Concession band — tuition and development both met by the post-matric scholarship. What remains is exactly the ₹1,746 of other charges every category pays. |
Official source: Fees Regulating Authority, Maharashtra — Fee Approved for Academic Year 2026-27, Online Fee Approval Proposal Portal (ay26-27.mahafraportal.org/ssi_prp_25/outer.php?q=fee_search_report), captured 20 August 2026. Institute code EN6175, status Approved, FRA meeting 27 April 2026: tuition ₹1,67,833 + development ₹25,167 = ₹1,93,000 a year.
Why ₹1,93,000 and ₹1,94,746 both appear: they are not two versions of one total. ₹1,93,000 is what the FRA approved PCCOE to charge as tuition plus development for 2026-27. ₹1,94,746 is what an Open-category Maharashtra candidate actually pays, because ₹1,746 of other charges sits on top of the approved figure. If you see ₹1.93 lakh quoted in one place and ₹1.95 lakh in another, that ₹1,746 is the whole difference — not a contradiction.
Reading note. Every figure above is the fee for one year of B.Tech in A.Y. 2026-27, on an FRA-regulated CAP seat. It excludes hostel, mess, examination and university fees, and it is not the NRI or institutional-quota figure. The FRA approves one fee per institute and does not publish a category-wise split; the concession rows are that same approved fee with Maharashtra’s tuition-fee concession and post-matric scholarship applied, plus the ₹1,746 every category pays.
Statutory note. Under section 14(4) of the Maharashtra Unaided Private Professional Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admissions and Fees) Act, 2015, an unaided institution must display its FRA-approved course-wise fee on its notice board and website. Where a college’s own page shows a different tuition-plus-development figure, the FRA-approved figure is the approved one.
4-Year Fee Total & Institute-Level / NRI Quota
| Category | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 4 | Total (4 Yrs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| State Merit / Open (MHT-CET CAP) | ₹1,94,746 | ₹1,94,746 | ₹1,94,746 | ₹1,94,746 | ₹7,78,984 |
| OBC / EBC / EWS | ₹1,10,830 | ₹1,10,830 | ₹1,10,830 | ₹1,10,830 | ₹4,43,320 |
| SC / ST | ₹1,746 | ₹1,746 | ₹1,746 | ₹1,746 | ₹6,984 |
| Institute-Level (management) quota | Not listed — the FRA regulates CAP seats, so no institute-level figure appears in the approved 2026-27 list. Confirm the amount directly with the PCCOE admission office. | ||||
| NRI / Foreign quota | Not listed — the FRA-approved fee is not the NRI figure, and no NRI amount is published in the approved 2026-27 list. Confirm it directly with the PCCOE admission office. | ||||
Anti-inference note. The four-year totals above are the 2026-27 fee multiplied by four. That is arithmetic, not a projection of future fee revisions — the FRA approves one academic year at a time, and years 2 to 4 are each approved separately.
PCCOE fees are regulated by the Maharashtra Fees Regulating Authority (FRA) — even as an autonomous institute, PCCOE cannot charge more than the FRA-approved tuition and development fee on a CAP state-merit seat. The approved ₹1,93,000 covers tuition and development only; examination and university fees, hostel and mess are billed separately.

JEE Main & MHT-CET 2026 Cutoffs & Closing Percentiles
PCCOE is one of the most competitive autonomous colleges in Maharashtra for Computer Engineering. Cutoffs have generally trended upward as the college's placement reputation has grown, though official 2025 Round-1 percentiles for CSE and IT closed slightly below the 2024 estimates. MHT-CET CAP 2026 Round-1 closing percentiles will be added here as soon as the CET Cell publishes the Round-1 allotment (option filling follows the 27 July 2026 final merit list).
2025 column = Official MHT-CET CAP 2025 Round-1 closing percentiles (General / Other-than-Home, Open category), sourced from the Maharashtra State CET Cell (cetcell.mahacet.org), DTE/CAP institute code 6175. 2021–2024 figures are unverified indicative trend estimates compiled from third-party sources and may differ materially from official CAP records (the large gap between the 2024 Mechanical/Civil estimates and the official 2025 figures suggests the earlier estimates understate actual closing percentiles) — verify against official CET Cell records. Later CAP rounds and Institute-Level (management) seats close a few percentile lower than Round 1.

PCCOE Akurdi vs. PCCOE&R Ravet
A common query for parents is the difference between the two campuses:
- PCCOE Akurdi: The flagship campus, older, higher cutoffs, and more established alumni network.
- PCCOE&R Ravet: A newer campus under the same trust.
PCCOE's autonomous status also allows it to incorporate industry-driven electives such as Salesforce Development, Kubernetes & Docker, and Automotive Embedded Systems directly into the curriculum without waiting for SPPU syllabus revision cycles. This keeps PCCOE graduates ahead of peers from affiliated colleges in terms of industry-ready skills.

Expert Tips — PCCOE Pimpri Admission 2026
The FindUrCollege team has helped hundreds of students secure seats at PCCOE Pimpri over the years. Here are five evidence-based tips to maximise your chances:
PCCOE CSE closed at 98.93 percentile in 2025 CAP Round 1 (official, Open category). To have a comfortable margin above this, target 98.5–99+ in MHT-CET PCM. Dedicate at least 4 months of full-time preparation post-boards. Focus heavily on Mathematics as it carries the highest weightage in MHT-CET. Use PCCOE's own previous question papers (available on the SPPU portal) for practice since PCCOE's autonomous internal exams follow similar problem patterns. Strong performance in boards (PCM 90%+) also helps in category-specific cutoff scenarios.
CAP registration windows open only for a few weeks after MHT-CET results. Missing the window means you cannot participate in any CAP round — including for management quota (which uses the same portal). Set reminders as soon as results are declared. Keep all your documents pre-scanned and ready for upload to avoid last-minute delays during the short registration window.
If CSE at PCCOE seems out of reach, IT and AI&Data Science at PCCOE have only marginally lower cutoffs but very similar placements.
PCCOE students who participate in Smart India Hackathon, KPIT Sparkle, and internal innovation challenges consistently get better PPO conversion rates. Companies like Quantiphi and KPIT actively recruit from hackathon performance rather than just GPA. Build your project portfolio early.
PCCOE participates in the centralised PCET group placement drive, which pools recruiters across all PCET campuses — giving students access to a far larger set of companies.
