Dhole Patil College of Engineering B.E. Fees 2026

Six branches are offered at DPCOE, all carrying the same annual fee of INR 1,17,000 under the general quota. Over the 4-year programme this totals INR 4,68,000. The uniform fee structure across all branches is a feature of the Maharashtra state fee regulation framework for unaided private engineering colleges. There is no fee premium for higher-demand branches such as Computer Engineering or Information Technology versus Automobile or Civil Engineering. OBC students pay INR 65,864 per year under the state concession, bringing their 4-year total to INR 2,63,456, a saving of INR 2,04,544 compared to the general category rate.

Admission to all B.E. branches uses MHT-CET scores for state-quota seats and JEE Main scores for the Home University and Other University seats. Minimum eligibility is 45% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics at Class 12 level (40% for reserved categories). DPCOE is affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) and is recognised by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). The Pune location gives students access to one of India’s most active engineering placement ecosystems, with automotive OEMs, IT services firms, and manufacturing companies operating in and around the city.

B.E. Year-wise Fee Schedule

Among the six branches, Computer Engineering and Information Technology attract the highest student demand due to the strength of Pune’s IT sector, where major Indian and multinational technology companies maintain large engineering centres. Automobile Engineering and Mechanical Engineering benefit from proximity to Pune’s automotive hub, home to Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto, Mercedes-Benz India, and Volkswagen India plants. Civil Engineering feeds into the active real-estate and infrastructure construction pipeline across the Pune Metropolitan Region. Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering graduates target roles in telecom, embedded systems, and semiconductor design firms that have expanded their Pune presence in recent years.

B.E. Lateral Entry Fees 2026

Diploma holders in Engineering can join B.E. directly in the second year through lateral entry, completing the programme in 3 years instead of 4. The annual fee for lateral entry is INR 95,000 under the general quota, totalling INR 2,85,000. OBC candidates pay INR 53,588 per year under the state concession, for a 3-year total of INR 1,60,764. Admission is through the Diploma Certificate Entrance Test (DCET) conducted by the Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell.

Dhole Patil College of Engineering MBA Fees 2026

At INR 57,000 per year under the general quota, DPCOE’s MBA is one of the more affordable MBA programmes among SPPU-affiliated colleges in the Pune region. The 2-year total of INR 1,14,000 is actually less than a single year of B.E. at the general rate of INR 1,17,000, which makes it a cost-effective option for engineering graduates looking to add a management qualification. OBC candidates pay INR 32,218 per year, bringing their MBA total to INR 64,436 for the full two-year programme. All five specializations carry identical fees, giving candidates the freedom to choose their concentration on academic interest alone rather than cost.

Admission to the MBA programme is through the MAH-MBA-CET for state-quota seats, with minimum eligibility of a bachelor’s degree with 50% marks (45% for reserved categories). CAT and CMAT scores are also accepted under the merit quota. Students with a B.E. or B.Tech background often opt for specializations such as Business Analytics or Operations and Supply Chain Management to align their technical background with managerial roles in manufacturing, logistics, or product companies.
