Which B.Tech branch should you pick at TCET?

Branch
Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (AI and DS)
300 seats. Round 1 close 16,767 for General and 17,828 for girls, MHT CET merit, 2026.
Pick it if:
You want data and analytics work: the department has an S4DS student chapter and an AI Club, and its courses lean on statistics and data visuals.
You want the most seats in the college's B.Tech list: this branch has 300 seats, so round 1 took General ranks down to 16,767.
You are a girl with a General rank near 17,800: the girls' close here was 17,828 in round 1, about 1,000 places after the General close.
Skip it if:
You are counting on last year's close: it closed at 15,181 in round 1 of 2025, so the 2026 figure moved more than 1,500 places.
You want a hardware branch: the course is mostly coding, maths and data, with no electronics labs like the IoT branch has.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI and ML)
240 seats. Round 1 close 15,981 for General and 18,895 for girls, MHT CET merit, 2026.
Pick it if:
Your General merit number is below 15,981: this was the toughest branch of the three in round 1 of 2026, so take it if it opens.
You want machine learning roles: the department has an ACM SIGAI student chapter and 23 teachers for 240 seats, all in AI and ML.
You want a close that held steady: it moved only from 15,602 in 2025 to 15,981 in 2026, the smallest change of the three.
Skip it if:
Your merit number is near 18,000 and you are not a girl: the General seat closed at 15,981, so the other two branches are your safer choices.
You want a smaller batch: this branch has 240 seats, twice the size of the IoT branch.
Computer Science and Engineering (IoT) (CSE (IoT))
120 seats. Round 1 close 19,163 for General and 19,948 for girls, MHT CET merit, 2026.
Pick it if:
Your General merit number sits between 16,800 and 19,163: this was the last of the three branches to close in round 1 of 2026.
You want sensors and smart devices, not only code: the college has an Intel centre for IoT since 2015-16 and a Texas Instruments lab for embedded work.
You want a small batch: it has 120 seats, the smallest of the three branches, and 11 teachers.
Skip it if:
You want a large department: this one has 11 teachers, against 27 in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.
You want pure software roles: the course puts hardware, sensors and embedded boards next to coding from the second year.
Counsellor's advice
If your merit number clears Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, list it first, then Data Science, then IoT. If it only clears IoT, still list all three; later rounds moved every close, so a higher branch may open.
B.Tech Eligibility▾
Class 12 marks: 45% in Physics, Maths and one more science or technical subject. 40% for reserved categories of Maharashtra.
Exam needed: An MHT CET 2026 score for Maharashtra seats, or a JEE Main score for All India seats.
Same rule, every branch: All three branches use the same marks rule; only the closing merit number differs.
Minority seats: Half the seats in each branch go to Hindi linguistic minority students, who show proof at the CAP form.
Seat types: This college has only open seats in the state list, plus girls, minority and tuition waiver seats.
B.Tech Admission Process▾
Write MHT CET: The exam gives you a state merit number. JEE Main counts only for All India seats.
Register for CAP: Fill the form on the State CET Cell portal and upload your papers in July.
Fill the branch order: List the three branches in the order you want them. Your seat is the highest one your merit number clears.
Accept and pay: Accept the seat online after each round and pay the seat fee, or the seat goes to the next student.
Report to the college: Bring your originals to Kandivali. Seats left after four rounds go through the college's own merit list.

FAQs on Thakur College of Engineering and Technology B.Tech

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

How do I get B.Tech admission at TCET?▾
