TSEC Admission Process
BE First Year Admission
TSEC fills 80% of its BE seats through DTE Maharashtra’s CAP counselling and 20% through Institute-Level (management quota) admissions. Both routes require a valid MHT-CET or JEE Main score — merit in 10+2 alone is not sufficient.
- Eligibility: 10+2 (HSC or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, minimum 45% aggregate (40% for reserved categories under Maharashtra government norms)
- Entrance: MHT-CET PCM or JEE Main Paper 1
- CAP process: Register on cap.dtemaharashtra.gov.in, fill option form with college and branch preferences in order, receive seat allotment based on merit, confirm and report to TSEC
- Institute-Level process: Apply directly at TSEC after CAP rounds conclude, with a valid MHT-CET or JEE Main score mandatory
The General Open MHT-CET percentile required at TSEC ranges from 92.66 to 98.65 percentile depending on branch. Computer Engineering and Information Technology branches draw the higher end of this range due to demand. Chemical Engineering and Electronics and Telecom Engineering have lower cutoff percentiles.
BE Lateral Entry (Direct Second Year)
Diploma holders in relevant engineering disciplines can apply for TSEC’s second-year BE through DTE Maharashtra’s Direct Second Year (DSY) counselling. Eligibility is a Diploma in Engineering with minimum 45% marks. DSY seats are 10% additional over the sanctioned intake in each branch.

TSEC vs DJ Sanghvi College of Engineering vs KJ Somaiya College of Engineering
Aspirants securing high MHT-CET percentiles in the 90 to 99 range for private engineering colleges in Mumbai frequently compare TSEC with DJ Sanghvi College of Engineering (DJSCOE) in Vile Parle and KJ Somaiya College of Engineering in Vidyavihar. All three are private autonomous engineering colleges in Mumbai, affiliated to the University of Mumbai or their respective boards, with admission through DTE Maharashtra CAP.
| Parameter | TSEC, Bandra West | DJSCOE, Vile Parle | KJ Somaiya, Vidyavihar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | Bandra West (Western Mumbai) | Vile Parle West (Western Mumbai) | Vidyavihar (Central Mumbai) |
| Type | Private Autonomous (HSNC Board) | Private Autonomous (Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan) | Private Autonomous (Somaiya Vidyavihar) |
| NAAC Grade | B++ | A | A |
| NBA Accredited Programmes | 4 of 5 branches | Multiple | Multiple |
| NIRF Engineering 2025 | 251-300 band | Comparable range | Comparable range |
| BE Total Fees | INR 10.79 to INR 14.39 Lakhs (4 years) | Comparable | Comparable to Higher |
| Placement Median CTC | INR 7.60 LPA | Comparable range | Comparable range |
| Hostel Available | Yes (up to INR 1.20 Lakhs/year) | Limited | Yes |
| Admission | MHT-CET (92.66 to 98.65 percentile for popular branches) | Higher range for top branches | Higher range for top branches |
TSEC holds an advantage through its NBA-accredited programmes, Bandra West location (closest to BKC among the three), and hostel availability. DJSCOE and KJ Somaiya carry higher NAAC grades and may draw marginally tighter cutoffs for their flagship Computer Engineering branches. Chemical Engineering at TSEC is a distinct offering with NBA accreditation, which DJSCOE does not offer. Aspirants choosing between the three often pick based on branch availability, location preference, and round-specific cutoffs in DTE Maharashtra CAP.
