MIT School of Food Technology Pune B.Tech Fees 2026

The B.Tech in Food Technology is the flagship programme at MITSoFT Pune, running for four years at a total fee of INR 7,02,800. That works out to INR 1,75,700 per academic year, placing MITSoFT in the mid-range for AICTE-approved private engineering colleges in Pune. The programme is AICTE approved and affiliated with MIT-ADT University, covering food processing, food engineering, food microbiology, and quality management systems.

Admission is through MHT CET (PCM group). The MHT CET 2026 PCM paper was held from April 11 to 19, 2026, with results declared on June 16, 2026. Eligibility requires 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (or Biology) with a minimum 45% aggregate (40% for reserved categories).
