The table below shows the exam accepted for each programme family at KJCOEMR for the 2026-27 admission cycle.

KJCOEMR Courses and Fees

KJCOEMR offers engineering programmes across undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The total B.E. seat intake spans 7 branches, with all branches priced uniformly at INR 3,85,300 for the four-year programme under the general quota. Postgraduate M.E. programmes in 4 specialisations are priced at INR 1,90,300 for two years.

Computer Engineering and VLSI Design and Technology are the most in-demand branches at KJCOEMR, aligned with Pune’s strong presence in IT, semiconductor design, and embedded systems industries. The Lateral Entry route allows diploma holders to enter the second year of any B.E. branch, saving one academic year.

KJCOEMR Admission Process

KJCOEMR follows DTE Maharashtra’s standardised CAP model. The state quota (80% of seats per branch) is filled through centralised merit-based round allotment, while management quota (20%) is filled directly. The admission process differs slightly by programme level.

B.E. Admission

• Eligibility: Passed 10+2 or equivalent with Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry or Computer Science; minimum 45% aggregate (40% for reserved categories)
• Entrance Exam: Valid MHT-CET PCM score or JEE Main percentile; candidates may use whichever is higher when submitting CAP preferences
• Selection Process: Register on cetcell.mahacet.org and fill CAP preferences in order of priority, participate in round-wise seat allotment based on merit and category, report to KJCOEMR for document verification, and complete fee payment to confirm admission
• Management Quota: 20% of B.E. intake per branch is available through direct application to KJCOEMR; MHT-CET score is not mandatory for this quota

MHT-CET cutoffs for KJCOEMR B.E. vary by branch and category. Computer Engineering and Electronics and Telecom Engineering branches attract relatively higher MHT-CET percentile cutoffs under CAP, while Civil and Mechanical Engineering branches tend to be more accessible.

B.E. Lateral Entry

• Eligibility: Diploma in Engineering in a relevant branch with minimum 45% aggregate
• Entrance Exam: Valid MAH-ECET score
• Process: DTE Maharashtra CAP for lateral entry seats; direct second-year admission across all 7 branches

M.E. Admission

• Eligibility: B.E. or B.Tech in a relevant engineering branch with minimum 50% aggregate

Computer Engineering and Electronics and Telecom Engineering branches record the highest placement rates at KJCOEMR among all branches offered.

Confirmed recruiters at KJCOEMR include TCS, Infosys, IBM, Amazon, Zensar, Chegg, Sutherland, and Sasken Communication Technologies. Core engineering graduates in Mechanical and Civil branches often pursue GATE, PSU (government sector), or higher studies pathways in addition to campus placements.

KJCOEMR Campus and Infrastructure

KJCOEMR is located in Kondhwa, Pune, Maharashtra. Kondhwa is a well-connected locality in southern Pune, within reasonable distance from Pune railway station and the old city centre. The campus houses dedicated engineering laboratories for all seven B.E. branches, a central library with technical reference and digital resources, computer centres with high-speed internet access, and a seminar hall for academic and co-curricular activities.

The college provides separate hostel facilities for male and female students. Pune’s public transport network connects Kondhwa to the rest of the city. The Pune IT corridor - covering areas such as Hadapsar and Kharadi - is accessible from Kondhwa, which is relevant for student internship and placement opportunities in the city’s IT sector.

KJCOEMR vs Sinhgad College of Engineering vs JSPM’s Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering

All three are AICTE-approved, SPPU-affiliated private engineering colleges in Pune operating under DTE Maharashtra’s CAP model. The comparison below covers the key decision parameters for an aspirant choosing among them.

Sinhgad College of Engineering has a longer track record - established in 1994 - and a larger alumni network, which can be an advantage for referral-based placements. JSPM’s Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering is located in Tathawade, closer to the Pune IT corridor at Hinjewadi, which gives it a geographic advantage for IT sector campus recruitment. KJCOEMR’s fee structure is DTE-regulated and comparatively accessible. Aspirants shortlisting between these three colleges should evaluate branch-wise placement records and campus location alongside fees.
