MCOE Admission Process

B.Tech Admission

MCOE B.Tech admissions follow the DTE Maharashtra CAP process. Maharashtra domicile candidates use MHT CET scores and all-India candidates use JEE Main scores. The CAP fills 80% of seats. The remaining 15% are Institute Level (IL) seats filled directly by MCOE based on merit.

• Minimum eligibility: Class 12 with PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics), aggregate 45% for general category and 40% for reserved categories
• Government quota (CAP): MHT CET rank for Maharashtra domicile. JEE Main rank for All India seats. Counselling via cetcell.mahacet.org
• Institute Level (15% seats): Valid MHT CET or JEE Main score. Apply directly at moderncoe.edu.in after each CAP round
• Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme (TFWS): 5% of intake with full tuition waiver. Parental income below INR 8 LPA is required
• Lateral entry (2nd year): Diploma in a relevant branch. Selection via MAH DIPLOMA CET counselling through DTE Maharashtra

SC/ST category candidates pay zero tuition under Maharashtra state scholarship schemes. NRI or OCI candidates fill the remaining 5% seats at a differential fee rate.

M.Tech, MBA, and MCA Admission

M.Tech admissions require a B.Tech degree in a relevant branch with minimum 50% marks. GATE-qualified candidates are given preference through the DTE Maharashtra PG CAP process.

MBA requires any bachelor’s degree and accepts MAH MBA CET, CAT, CMAT, or MAT scores. MCA requires a bachelor’s degree with Mathematics and a valid MAH MCA CET score, both processed through DTE Maharashtra PG CAP rounds.

MCOE Placements

MCOE Pune placements for the 2025 season recorded a highest package of INR 9 LPA. Around 291 students received job offers. The average package ranged between INR 4 LPA and INR 5 LPA, with Computer Engineering and IT branches reflecting the strongest placement activity.

Core engineering branches including Mechanical and Electrical Engineering see placements in manufacturing, energy, and automation sectors. The table below lists confirmed top recruiters from the 2025 placement season.

MCOE placement data for this cycle is self-reported and not yet covered under NIRF verified reporting. Students choosing core branches should factor in sector-specific placement timelines, which extend beyond the main placement season.

MCOE Scholarships

Multiple scholarship and fee-waiver schemes are available to MCOE students based on category, income, and academic performance.

Applications for government scholarships are processed through the Maharashtra Scholarship Portal and the National Scholarship Portal at scholarships.gov.in. Eligible students should apply within the deadline set by the Social Welfare Department each academic year.

MCOE Campus and Infrastructure

MCOE is located in Shivaji Nagar, Pune, within the Progressive Education Society campus complex, close to the city centre. The campus houses dedicated department laboratories for all nine B.Tech branches, computing labs, an innovation hub, central library, and seminar halls.

MCOE does not have an on-campus hostel. Students typically arrange private accommodation in Shivaji Nagar, Deccan Gymkhana, or nearby areas. The central Pune location provides good access to public transport, industry offices, and the Pune IT corridors in Kharadi and Hinjewadi.

MCOE vs PCCOE vs VIT Pune

Aspirants appearing for MHT CET and targeting Pune-based SPPU-affiliated private engineering colleges frequently compare MCOE with Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering (PCCOE) and Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT Pune). All three draw from a shared DTE Maharashtra CAP applicant pool.

MCOE leads on NAAC grade (A++) among these three. PCCOE and VIT Pune offer on-campus hostel accommodation, which can be a practical advantage for outstation students. VIT Pune has a longer institutional history with strong alumni presence in Pune’s IT sector.
