Should you pick B.Tech CCE at MAHE?
This course suits students who want a product-company job and can live in a campus town for four years.
Pick it if:
You passed Class 12 in this state: half the seats are Round 5, so a rank that misses the Round 1 list can still get in.
You want software companies, not only service IT: the branch-wise placement table lists the same four product recruiters in each of the last three years.
Your family can pay only per semester: you pay the tuition fee in eight parts, and a request to split it further opens every August.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You are counting on last year's closing rank: it has got tougher three years in a row, so last year's number is not a safe rank.
You need a single room from the first year: first-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3.
You want internships in a big city: this is a campus town, so the placement cell brings most internships here.
You will wait for MET phase 2: fill your choices before the round date, or stronger branches may fill first.
Counsellor's advice
Freeze this branch if round 1 gives it to you on a Round 5 rank. If you are Round 1 and below the round 1 close, float it and keep a safer college above it.

Round 5 quota: Half the seats go to students who passed Class 12 in this state.
B.Tech CCE Admission Process▾

In short
VIT costs much less and has a stronger ROI, but MAHE shows higher average pay here. If your rank clears both, compare fee comfort first; if it clears only MAHE, take this seat.
In short
SRM costs less and has an easier cutoff, but MAHE pays more on average. If your family can pay the fee, keep MAHE above SRM for this branch.
In short
Manipal University Jaipur costs less and has an easier cutoff, but MAHE has the older main campus. If both allot, pick MAHE for the older network.
In short
KIIT is cheaper and easier to enter, but MAHE has higher average pay here. If you want the Manipal main campus, keep MAHE above KIIT.
In short
SASTRA has the lower fee and higher ROI, while MAHE has a higher average pay. If fee matters most, pick SASTRA; if campus fit matters, pick MAHE.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on MAHE B.Tech CCE
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is B.Tech CCE at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 24.42 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 12.31 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my rank is just above the closing rank?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General Round 5 seat closed at rank 12,400 in round 6 and it got tougher three years in a row, so a rank that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the rank checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get software jobs with software, data and cloud companies that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 12.31 LPA, the median was INR 9 LPA and 65% of the batch was placed. If you want a core electronics job instead, this branch is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a campus town, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover machine learning and networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾
Only if you can raise your rank by a lot, not a little. The General closing rank got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a branch change after year 1 if you want a sibling branch.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 65% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 9 LPA is lower than the average of INR 12.31 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is this branch better than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick CCE if you want a software job and ECE if you want a core electronics job. CCE places a bigger share of its batch with software companies, and its closing rank is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want CSE, the branch change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the MET exam and fill this college in your MAHE online counselling choice list. A seat comes in the round your rank clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days MAHE online counselling gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 4-year fee is INR 24.42 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 29.52 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
Admission to the engineering college requires the MUOET entrance test, which allows multiple attempts. Candidates from the SAGES category are evaluated separately. The admission process is straightforward, needing the 12th marks card and Aadhar card. The faculty is experienced and approachable, ensuring engaging classes. The course fee is around 15 lakhs, considered reasonable for the amenities provided. Placement opportunities are excellent, with companies like Microsoft, Google, and Deloitte participating. Students generally secure placements from the 7th semester, with the highest package reaching 54 LPA and an average of 8 LPA.
Approximately 75% of students get placed, while others pursue further studies or off-campus jobs. A CGPA of 7.5 is typically required for placements. The college offers internships in various fields, potentially leading to full-time positions, with stipends up to 50,000 INR per month. Tuition fees increase each year but are manageable for middle-class families. Scholarships include the SAGES scholarship, offering tuition concessions based on income, and merit-based options like IAESTE.
