What the Institute Level Fee Includes?

The total is built from five heads. Only tuition and development fees change between the two slabs.

Fee Head Computer Branches Core Branches
Tuition Fee INR 5,03,499 INR 3,35,666
Development Fee INR 75,501 INR 50,334
University Fee INR 395 INR 395
Eligibility Fee (Maharashtra) INR 650 INR 650
Insurance INR 701 INR 701
Total INR 5,80,746 INR 3,87,746

How the Institute Level Fee Compares With the CAP Fee?

The gap is the single biggest number on this page. A CAP seat and an institute level seat run the same course. The fee is not the same.

Admission Route Computer Branches Core Branches
CAP, Open category INR 1,94,746 INR 1,94,746
ACAP, Open category INR 1,94,746 INR 1,94,746
Institute Level INR 5,80,746 INR 3,87,746
NRI INR 5,81,246 INR 5,81,246

ACAP seats are vacant CAP seats filled by the institute later. They carry the CAP rate, not the institute level rate. On a computer branch that saves close to INR 3.86 Lakh in year one.

Separate forms are needed for the two routes. Applying only for the institute level quota closes off the cheaper option.

Four Year Cost of a PCCOE Institute Level Seat

Years two to four drop the eligibility fee. The university fee also falls to INR 335. The totals below follow the current fee pattern. They are expected to shift, as the Fees Regulating Authority revises fees yearly.

Route and Branch Group First Year Fee Estimated Four Year Fee
CAP, Open category INR 1,94,746 About INR 7.75 Lakh
Institute Level, computer branches INR 5,80,746 About INR 23.19 Lakh
Institute Level, core branches INR 3,87,746 About INR 15.47 Lakh

Example: two students share a Computer Engineering classroom. One enters through CAP in the Open category. The other enters through the institute level quota. The second pays about INR 15.44 Lakh more over four years.

Application Fee and Caution Money at PCCOE

Two payments sit outside the fee sheet. The application processing fee of INR 1,000 is paid online by QR code. It is non-refundable and non-transferable. The payment must clear before the form is submitted.

A caution money deposit of INR 25,000 is collected separately. It falls due only after the admission is confirmed. Examination fees are notified as per norms at the time of exam form filling.

Are There Fee Concessions on PCCOE Institute Level Seats?

The institute level fee sheet lists a single fee for every candidate. It carries no category-wise column at all. The CAP and ACAP sheets are built the other way round.

Those sheets set out concession slabs by category. SC and ST candidates pay INR 1,746 in year one. OBC, EWS, EBC and SEBC candidates pay INR 1,10,830 below INR 8 Lakh income. TFWS candidates pay INR 26,913. Girls from those same categories also pay INR 26,913.

Example: an OBC candidate has family income below INR 8 Lakh. Through CAP that candidate pays INR 1,10,830 for Computer Engineering. Through the institute level quota the same branch costs INR 5,80,746. Reimbursement claims on the CAP sheet route through the MahaDBT portal.

Is Any Donation Required for PCCOE Management Quota Admission?

No. The official notification is explicit on this point. Institute level admissions are conducted after the last CAP round. Selection runs strictly on the inter-se merit of eligible candidates.

Institute level candidates pay only the fees prescribed by the Fees Regulating Authority. The notification names one extra payment. That is the INR 1,000 processing fee. Any demand beyond the published sheet has no basis in the notification.

Pune Institute of Computer Technology takes a different approach. It adds an institutional quota fee of about INR 2,00,000. This sits over and above the regular category fee. The first year outgo stays well below the PCCOE computer branch figure.
