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.
📌 In one line: official MHT-CET CAP closing percentiles by branch & category — source: CET Cell allotment records.
PCCOE CSE cutoffs are among the highest in Maharashtra after COEP, PICT, and Walchand College of Engineering. For JEE Main, an All India Rank under roughly 15,000-20,000 is typically needed for CSE. Students who are just below the Round-1 cutoff should target later CAP rounds or Institute-Level (management) seats at PCCOE, which close lower — contact FindUrCollege at +91 91126 50438 for current availability.

Step 1 — MHT-CET Score of 98+ Percentile (for CSE) The MHT-CET 2026 exam cycle (registration at mahacet.org) is complete and results are declared. For PCCOE CSE, a 98.50+ percentile in the PCM group gives a comfortable margin, as competition has risen steadily. Aspirants for the next cycle should prepare Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics with focus on Class 12 board topics plus the MHT-CET-specific pattern.
Step 2 — Register on DTE Maharashtra CAP Portal CAP 2026 registration on the CET Cell/DTE portal closed on 19 July 2026; the final merit list arrives on 27 July 2026, with option filling and Round-1 allotment after that. Registered candidates should track the current round schedule on the portal and keep documents ready for verification. Ensure you use the correct form for FE (First Year Engineering). Upload HSC mark sheet, domicile certificate, MHT-CET scorecard, caste certificate (if applicable), and photo/signature.
Step 3 — Document Verification at CAP Centre Attend physical document verification at the nearest CAP facilitation centre. Bring originals plus three sets of self-attested photocopies. This step generates your confirmed registration for preference filling.
Step 4 — Strategic Preference Filling PCCOE's DTE/MHT-CET CAP institute code is 6175. Add PCCOE Computer Engineering, IT, and AI&DS in preference order. Also add nearby colleges as safety options. FindUrCollege counsellors can review your preference list for free — WhatsApp us at +91 91126 50438.
Step 5 — Seat Allotment & Online Fee Payment Seat allotment results are published branch-wise. If PCCOE is allotted, log in immediately and pay the provisional seat acceptance fee online (₹5,000–₹20,000 depending on category). This freezes your seat. Do not miss the reporting deadline.
Step 6 — College Reporting & Enrolment Visit PCCOE with originals and allotment letter. Submit signed admission form, pay the first-year fee balance, collect your student ID, and register for SPPU enrolment. Hostel allocation is done on a first-come, first-served basis — apply early.

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:
Tip 1: Target 98.5+ in MHT-CET for CSE PCCOE CSE closed at 98.46 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.
Tip 2: Register Early for CAP 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.
Tip 3: Consider PCCOE IT / AI&DS as Alternatives If CSE at PCCOE seems out of reach, IT and AI&Data Science at PCCOE have only marginally lower cutoffs but very similar placements.
Tip 4: Participate in Hackathons from Day 1 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.
Tip 5: Leverage the PCET Centralised Placement Drive 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.
