Quick Answer Symbiosis Institute of Technology (SIT) Pune is a Symbiosis International (Deemed University) institute — it is not part of Maharashtra CAP counselling. It admits B.Tech via SITEEE (Symbiosis's own test), MHT-CET, or JEE Main. 2026 planning benchmarks for CSE: SITEEE ~94+, JEE Main ~90–94, MHT-CET ~92.5+ percentile; AI/ML ~92+ (SITEEE); other branches 85–90. In cutoff terms, the Symbiosis (SIT) Pune MHT-CET cutoff percentile is effectively ~92.5+ for CSE and ~88+ for E&TC — benchmark values, because SIT is outside CAP and the CET Cell publishes no official cutoff for it. Total programme fee for 2026 is approximately ₹12.0–16.0 L for the 4-year B.Tech. Class of 2025 placements: ~₹8.91 LPA average, ₹50 LPA highest (2023-24, Palo Alto Networks); the official SIT placements page lists 2025-26 (ongoing) at 94% placed, ₹27 LPA highest. Campus is at Lavale Hills, Pune.

Sourcing: SIT Pune is a deemed university (not in Maharashtra CAP) — percentile figures are admission benchmarks/estimates, not official CET Cell cutoffs; fees per the official SIT/SIU fee schedule; placements per official SIT disclosures. Verify on the official SIT admissions portal before decisions.

Note on cutoffs: SIT Pune accepts SITEEE, JEE Main and state entrance scores such as MHT-CET, but as a deemed university it is not in Maharashtra CAP and does not publish CET Cell closing cutoffs. Percentiles shown are admission benchmarks/estimates, not official CAP cutoff ranks. July 2026: MHT-CET CAP is live (final merit list 27 July 2026, option filling after) — SIT Pune stays outside CAP, so you apply directly to SIU with your MHT-CET score.

SIT Pune MHT-CET, JEE Main & SITEEE 2026 Score Benchmarks (non-CAP) (2021–2026)

SIT Pune being a deemed university uses a composite selection process. For the MHT-CET route (a non-CAP admission route — SIT sits outside Maharashtra CAP), the SIT Pune MHT-CET cutoff is an indicative benchmark percentile, not an official CET-Cell closing figure. The institute also accepts JEE Main scores and conducts its own aptitude-based selection. Below are approximate MHT-CET equivalent percentile benchmarks for SIT Pune based on admission patterns observed over 2021–2025, with 2026 expectations:

Frequently Asked Questions — SIT Pune B.Tech Admission

No. SIT Pune is a constituent institute of Symbiosis International (Deemed University) and is not part of the DTE Maharashtra Centralised Admission Process (CAP) for SPPU-affiliated colleges. Admissions to SIT Pune B.Tech are conducted directly by SIU through their own merit-based process using SET, JEE Main, or MHT-CET scores, followed by a Personal Interaction round at Lavale campus.
SIT Pune accepts Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET) Engineering scores, JEE Main scores, and MHT-CET scores for B.Tech admissions. The weightage given to each exam may vary per academic year. Candidates who have appeared in any of these exams are eligible to apply. Strong JEE Main scores (90–94 percentile) are generally competitive for CSE at SIT Pune.
SIT Pune does not have a pay-for-seat “management quota” in the state-CAP sense, but it operates a Direct Quota (DQ) for direct admission. Under DQ the first-year fee is commonly reported as roughly double the regular rate plus an additional development fee (not published on the public SIT/SET pages — confirm in writing with SIT/SIU), with years 2–4 at the regular fee — on that reported basis the indicative DQ first-year academic fee would be about ₹8.0L for CSE/AI-ML, ₹7.5L for E&TC and ₹6.0L for Civil/Mechanical/Robotics, before the development fee and the ₹20,000 refundable deposit. There is also an NRI/International category (up to 25% over and above sanctioned intake per SET 2026; USD fees). Contact FindUrCollege at +91 91126 50438 to confirm current DQ availability and the exact figures.
For the 2026-27 batch, the approximate all-in cost for a B.Tech at SIT Pune on regular (merit) seats is: tuition (4 years) ₹12–16L depending on branch, plus hostel + mess ₹2.4–2.9L/year for residential students (roughly ₹10L over four years) and a ₹20,000 refundable deposit. Total estimated cost including hostel: about ₹22–28L over four years; non-resident students save the hostel + mess component. (The Direct Quota route costs more in year 1 — see the Direct Quota section.)
SIT Pune is the flagship engineering college of Symbiosis International University. It is distinct from Symbiosis Skills and Professional University (Kiwale campus) which offers different programmes. Within the Symbiosis group, SIT Pune has the strongest engineering research and placement record. The Lavale campus location ensures students benefit from the full Symbiosis Knowledge Village ecosystem including business schools, law schools, and media institutes.
The PI round at SIT Pune is a 15–20 minute interaction with a faculty panel. It assesses communication skills, basic science/mathematics aptitude, awareness of engineering applications, and motivation for the chosen branch. It is not a highly technical interview — the focus is on evaluating academic potential, career goals, and cultural fit with the Symbiosis environment. Preparation tips: review your 12th Physics/Maths concepts, read about AI/ML or your chosen branch's latest developments, and articulate clearly why you chose engineering and SIT.
SIT Pune, being a deemed university, has limited lateral entry (direct second year) provisions. This is unlike SPPU-affiliated colleges where DTE Maharashtra conducts a formal DSE (Direct Second Year Engineering) process. Diploma holders interested in SIT Pune should contact the admissions office directly to inquire about any lateral entry provisions for the current academic year, as policies may change annually.
WhatsApp FindUrCollege at +91 91126 50438. Our counsellors provide free guidance on SIT Pune admission eligibility, SET registration, branch selection, fee comparison against peers like MIT-WPU and PCCOE, and Direct Quota (DQ) availability. We have guided 500+ students into Symbiosis institutions across Pune.
SIT Pune (Symbiosis) B.Tech 2026 total programme fee is Rs 12-16 lakh across the 4-year programme, varying by branch (CSE at the higher end). Hostel and mess fees are additional. Admission via SITEEE (Symbiosis own test) is the primary route; MHT-CET and JEE Main also accepted.
SIT Pune SITEEE 2025 benchmark percentiles: CSE around 94+ percentile, AI/ML around 92+, other branches 85-90 percentile. SITEEE is conducted by Symbiosis International University; the same admission cycle also accepts qualified JEE Main and MHT-CET scores.

Expert Tips for SIT Pune B.Tech Admission 2026

Tip 1 — Register Early for SET: The SITEEE/SET 2026 registration window (12 December 2025 – 15 April 2026) has closed and both May test phases are over. For late 2026 entry, use the JEE Main / state-score route (open until 14 Aug 2026, vacancy-based). For the 2027 cycle, registration typically opens in December — register early to access SET practice materials and avoid last-minute portal congestion.
Tip 2 — Apply with Both SET and JEE/MHT-CET: Apply to SIT Pune using both your SET score and your JEE Main or MHT-CET score. SIT considers the best qualifying score, so having multiple exam scores improves your chances of crossing the eligibility threshold for competitive branches like CSE.
Tip 3 — Prepare Thoroughly for PI: The Personal Interaction round carries significant weight in the final merit calculation. Practice answering questions about your career goals, your interest in engineering, and basic subject knowledge. Dress professionally and be articulate — Symbiosis values communication skills highly.
Tip 4 — Explore CS AI/ML Branch: SIT Pune's CSE (AI & ML) branch is a high-demand specialisation with strong industry alignment. If your SET/JEE score is competitive for regular CSE, you likely qualify for AI/ML as well. This branch has the best placement outcomes in terms of highest packages from product-based and AI-focused companies.
Tip 5 — Visit Campus Before Confirming: Lavale campus is approximately 25 km from Pune city. If you are from outside Pune, a campus visit before paying the admission fee is strongly recommended to understand the commute situation, hostel quality, and overall environment. The scenic campus is excellent for residential students but requires planning for day scholars.

SIT Pune Academic Highlights & Curriculum Structure

SIT Pune follows a Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) curriculum aligned with industry requirements. The four-year B.Tech programme is structured to progressively deepen technical expertise while building professional competencies. In the first two years, students cover core engineering sciences — Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering Drawing, Programming in C and Python, Electronics Fundamentals, and Engineering Mechanics. The third and fourth years transition to specialised branch courses, electives, and a significant project component.

A distinctive feature of SIT Pune's curriculum is the mandatory industry internship in the 6th semester (third year), where students are placed with industry partners for 4–8 weeks. This early industry exposure is credited to the degree and helps students gain practical skills before the final placement season. Additionally, SIT Pune offers open electives from other departments, allowing CSE students to take Economics or Psychology courses and vice versa — reflecting the holistic Symbiosis educational philosophy.

The fourth-year capstone project (B.Tech Project) is a major differentiator at SIT Pune. Projects are often undertaken in collaboration with industry sponsors or as part of faculty research grants. Students in the AI/ML and CSE branches have published papers at IEEE and Springer conferences based on their final-year projects. The institute funds student attendance at national and international conferences through the Symbiosis International Research Grants programme.
