Which B.Tech branch group should you pick at PCE?
Branch group
Biotechnology
One branch, 60 seats. General seat closed at 12,761 in round 1 of 2026.
Pick it if:
You took MHT CET with Biology: Biotechnology is the one branch here open to PCB students, which is why it closed at 12,761, the toughest close on campus.
You want a small class: it has 60 seats, the smallest intake here, the same size as four other branches.
You want biology with engineering, not code: this is the only branch on campus built on life science labs, so it trains you for pharma and food plants.
Skip it if:
Your PCM merit number is well beyond 12,761: the General seat closed there in round 1 of 2026, far tougher than any other branch here.
You expect campus drives built for biotech firms: the 2024-25 placement list is led by Teachnook, Capgemini and Hexaware, which hire for IT and sales roles.
CS related
5 branches, 660 seats. General seats closed from 53,356 to 70,301 in round 1 of 2026.
Pick it if:
Your General merit number is inside 53,356: Computer Science is open to you, the toughest branch here after Biotechnology in round 1 of 2026.
You miss Computer Science by a few thousand places: IT closed at 60,994 and AI and Data Science at 64,327, so list them straight after it.
You want the firms that come most often: Capgemini, Hexaware and Cognizant are on the 2024-25 placement list, and they hire mostly for software roles.
Skip it if:
You expect a high starting pay from a CS seat: the college publishes one median for the whole batch, INR 3.5 LPA, and no figure by branch.
You hope for a cheap seat after the CAP rounds: 36 of the 180 Computer Science seats are institute-level seats, which cost three times the CAP fee.
Core
4 branches, 360 seats. General seats closed from 85,342 to 1,11,775 in round 1 of 2026.
Pick it if:
Your General merit number is beyond 1,00,000: Civil closed at 1,11,775 and Mechanical at 1,02,295 in round 1, the last two branches to close here.
You want plant jobs over office IT jobs: Torrent Power and Triveni Turbines are on the college's own list of recruiters, and both hire core engineers.
You want Aeronautical or Chemical in Nagpur: both are taught here with 60 seats each, and none of the four colleges compared below offers either.
Skip it if:
You want a job through campus drives alone: only 24% of the 2025 batch was placed, and most offers on the list came from IT and service firms.
You want a big batch of seniors in your branch: Aeronautical and Chemical take only 60 students a year, so the senior network is small.
Electronics related
4 branches, 480 seats. General seats closed from 77,224 to 99,377 in round 1 of 2026.
Pick it if:
Your General merit number is near 77,224: Electronics and Telecommunication closed there in round 1, and Electrical stayed open till 99,377.
You want both core and IT jobs open to you: Hitachi and Tech Mahindra are both on the 2024-25 placement banner, one for hardware and one for software.
You want to work on factory automation: Industrial IoT has 60 seats and mixes electronics with connected machines.
Skip it if:
You are counting on a reserved seat for your caste category: every state seat here is an Open seat, because the college is a Hindi linguistic minority institute.
You want a pay figure for your branch before you decide: the college publishes one median for the whole batch and nothing by branch.
Counsellor's advice
If your General merit number is inside 53,356, put Computer Science first and the other CS related branches next. If it is beyond 70,301, list Electronics and Telecommunication before the Core branches, and use the minority seats if you hold the certificate.
B.Tech Eligibility▾
Class 12 marks: 45% in Physics, Maths and one more subject together. 40% for reserved category students from Maharashtra.
Third subject: Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Computer Science or a vocational subject counts.
Exam needed: A non-zero MHT CET score or a JEE Main score. A PCB score in MHT CET works for Biotechnology only.
Same rule, every branch: All 14 branches use the same marks rule; only the closing merit number differs by branch.
Minority seats: About half the seats in each branch go to Hindi linguistic minority students who hold the certificate.
B.Tech Admission Process▾
Write MHT CET or JEE Main: MHT CET is held in April. JEE Main is held in January and April.
Register for CAP: Register with the State CET Cell, upload your papers and get them checked.
Fill your branch order: List this college's branches by choice code, best first. Each CAP round gives you the highest branch your merit number reaches.
Accept the seat: Pay the seat acceptance fee online inside the round's window, or you lose the seat.
Report at the college: Bring your original papers. Seats left after CAP round 4 go in college rounds, by merit.

Placement insights
Teachnook, an edtech firm, took more students than any other company in 2024-25, ahead of the IT service firms Capgemini and Hexaware.
The batch grew from 663 graduates in 2023 to 1,121 in 2025, but placements stayed at 270, so the share placed fell from 41% to 24%.
Only 7 graduates of 2025 went on to higher studies, down from 44 in 2023.
The campus is on Hingna Road next to the Hingna MIDC industrial area, so engineering plants for visits and internships are close by.
Good to know
Second-year students get the Placement Foundation Training Programme, and third-year students get Campus Recruitment Training.
Training covers mock aptitude tests, group discussions and interviews before companies visit.

In short
YCCE costs INR 96,000 more over four years, and its Computer Science seat closed at 18,707, far tougher than here. If your number clears YCCE, take it; if not, PCE is the next step down.
In short
GHRCE costs INR 12,000 less and closed Computer Science at 37,517, and it is also a Hindi minority college. If your number falls between 37,517 and 53,356, PCE is the seat you can reach.
In short
SVPCET costs INR 32,000 more, has half the seats and closed Computer Science at 40,667. It has no Aeronautical, Chemical or Biotechnology branch, so students set on those should look here.
In short
KDKCE costs INR 62,000 less and closed Computer Science at 71,631, easier than here. If you miss 53,356 but want Computer Science itself, KDKCE is the backup; otherwise take IT here.
FAQs on Priyadarshini College of Engineering B.Tech
Short answers to what students ask before they apply.
How do I get admission to B.Tech at PCE?▾
Write MHT CET or JEE Main, then register for the State CET Cell CAP rounds. List this college's branches by choice code, best first. A round gives you the highest branch your merit number reaches; pay the seat fee online and report with your original papers.
Is the fee the same for every branch?▾
Yes. A CAP seat costs INR 1,51,000 a year in every branch, which is INR 6.04 Lakhs for four years. An institute-level seat costs three times the approved fee, INR 18.12 Lakhs for four years.
Which branch is the easiest to get?▾
Civil closed last in round 1 of 2026, at 1,11,775 for a General seat, with Mechanical just before it at 1,02,295. The branch list above shows every closing merit number.
Why is Biotechnology so hard to get here?▾
It is the one branch that also takes PCB students from MHT CET, so far more students compete for its 60 seats. Its General seat closed at 12,761 in round 1 of 2026.
Are there reserved seats for SC, ST or OBC students?▾
No caste quota applies, because the college is a Hindi linguistic minority institute and every state seat is Open. Fee help still applies: SC and ST students with family income up to INR 2.5 Lakhs pay no fee.
Does pay differ by branch?▾
The college publishes one figure for the whole batch: a median of INR 3.5 LPA, with 24% of the Class of 2025 placed. Nothing is published by branch, so the checker and the branch list use closing merit numbers.
Is there a hostel for first-year students?▾
Yes. The Priyadarshini group has a girls hostel near Hingna T-Point and a boys hostel in Vaishali Nagar, both with a mess. The hostel fee is not on the college site, so ask the hostel office.
Do I get the fee back if I cancel the seat?▾
Only if you cancel before the State CET Cell's last cancellation date, which was 13 Sep 2026 this year. After that date you pay the full college fee.
