Dhole Patil College of Engineering Application Fees

DPCOE does not charge a standalone institute application fee for B.E. or MBA. The admission process for B.E. runs entirely through the Maharashtra state Centralised Admission Process (CAP). Candidates register on the Maharashtra CET Cell portal and pay the CAP registration charge to the state authority. No separate payment goes to the institute at the application stage. The same applies to B.E. Lateral Entry, which uses the DTE Maharashtra Lateral Entry CAP process.

For MBA, candidates applying via MAH-MBA-CET pay the test registration fee to the State CET Cell when they register for the exam (registration open January 10 to February 25, 2026). Candidates applying through CAT 2026 pay the CAT registration fee to IIM Lucknow when registering for the exam (registration open August 3 to September 15, 2026). Neither of these amounts is payable to DPCOE.

Note: Verify the current CAP and CET registration charges on the official Maharashtra CET Cell portal before applying, as these are revised each cycle.
