VIT Pune Cutoff 2026 MHT-CET Rank & %ile by Branch

Which VIT is this? Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Bibwewadi (code 06273)

Every number on this page belongs to one specific institute: Bansilal Ramnath Agarawal Charitable Trust’s Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Bibwewadi, Pune — CAP institute code 06273, an un-aided, autonomous, non-minority engineering college in the Maharashtra CAP system. This is the college students call VIT Pune.

Two common mix-ups cost aspirants real admission mistakes every year. First, VIT Pune is not VIIT (Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology, Kondhwa) — a different Pune college run by the same trust family of institutions, with its own CAP code and its own, different cutoffs. Second, VIT Pune is not VIT Vellore, the deemed university in Tamil Nadu that admits through VITEEE, not MHT-CET. If a website shows you a “VIT cutoff” in VITEEE ranks, it is talking about Vellore, not Bibwewadi. Always match the CAP code 06273 before acting on any cutoff figure.

VIT Pune MHT-CET Cutoff 2025: Branch-wise OPENS Closing Rank & Percentile

Mini-summary: official 2025 OPENS closes for all 11 B.Tech branches, straight from VIT Pune’s own last-3-years cutoff PDF — Computer Engineering toughest at 98.95 %ile (rank 3505), Civil the most accessible at 95.06 %ile (rank 17109).

Read the spread carefully before you build a CAP preference list. Only about 3,500 MHT-CET ranks fit inside Computer Engineering, but the door widens quickly after that: IT closes roughly 1,300 ranks later, and the entire CSE/AI family — five branches — sits packed inside a narrow band from 98.44 down to 97.92 percentile, barely half a percentile wide. In rank terms that band is only about 1,900 ranks deep, which is why students at 98.1–98.3 percentile often get one AI-family branch but not the one they listed first. E&TC closes just below the AI family, making it a strong fallback for circuit-branch aspirants. Mechanical and Civil then open the campus to a much larger pool: Civil’s close at rank 17109 means a student nearly 14,000 ranks behind the Computer Engineering cutoff can still study at the same Bibwewadi campus.

How to read these numbers: OPENS category and CAP round context

OPENS means Open category, State candidature — the general, unreserved seat type for Maharashtra-domicile candidates (shown as GOPENS in CET Cell CAP allotment lists). It is the most-tracked cutoff line because it is the hardest general benchmark: reserved categories (OBC, EWS, SEBC, SC, ST, NT), TFWS seats, defence/PWD seats and ladies’ seats each close at their own, usually lower, percentiles. VIT publishes the figures above as its official last-three-years cutoff record; for round-by-round or category-wise breakups, confirm with VIT Pune admissions (vit.edu) or the CET Cell CAP lists.

CAP context matters too. MHT-CET counselling runs in multiple CAP rounds, and closing percentiles can drift between rounds as candidates float up, cancel or switch. A branch that closes at 98.2 in one round can slip a fraction in a later round — or tighten if a wave of high scorers enters. Treat the table above as your planning baseline, not a guaranteed admission line: a percentile equal to last year’s close puts you at the boundary, where seat allotment depends on that year’s applicant pool, seat matrix and your position within the tie-break rules. That is exactly why the 2026 targets below carry a buffer.

What rank and percentile to target for VIT Pune in 2026

Mini-summary: FindUrCollege guidance derived from the official 2025 OPENS closes — add a safety buffer over last year’s closing percentile because cutoffs shift with each year’s applicant pool.

📌 In one line: official closing data — year/category labeled; verify the current round on the official portal.

The “2025 OPENS close” column is official VIT Pune data; the “safe 2026 target” column is FindUrCollege counselling guidance (a buffer over the 2025 close), not an official figure.

Two practical rules when you set your own target. First, plan in percentile, not rank: the percentile a branch closes at is far more stable year to year than the rank, because rank depends on how many candidates appear for MHT-CET that session. Second, build your CAP preference list around the whole band, not one branch. If you are at 98.3 percentile, listing all five AI-family branches plus E&TC gives you six realistic shots at the same campus; listing only CSE-AIML gives you one shot at a line you sit below. Students at 96–97 percentile should anchor on Mechanical with Civil as backup, and students near 95 percentile still have a genuine OPENS route into VIT Pune through Civil Engineering.

Below the cutoff? The institute-level admission route

If your MHT-CET percentile falls short of the OPENS lines above, VIT Pune fills a separate set of seats through institute-level admission, with its own official fee structure published on vit.edu. For 2026-27, the official institute-level fees are Rs 6,24,171 per year for Computer Engineering, CSE-AI and CSE-AIML; Rs 4,18,171 for IT, AIDS, CSE-Data Science, CSE-IoT & Cyber Security, Software Engineering and E&TC; and Rs 2,12,171 for Mechanical, Civil and Instrumentation. Eligibility, seat availability and the application window for this route change every cycle, so read the full breakdown on our VIT Pune institute-level admission page and confirm current-year rules with VIT Pune admissions (vit.edu) before paying anything to any third party.

After the cutoff: what a CAP seat at VIT Pune actually costs

Clearing the cutoff is half the decision; the fee is the other half. The FRA-approved first-year B.Tech fee for 2026-27 is Rs 2,06,000, and the official CAP fee totals are Rs 2,12,171 for Open (Rs 2,12,671 for Open-OMS), Rs 1,22,606 for OBC/EBC/EWS/SEBC, Rs 33,041 for TFWS/NT/SBC/eligible girls/PWD/orphan candidates and Rs 6,171 for SC/ST — so the same allotment letter can mean very different bank transfers depending on your category.
