Ques. Does SPPU conduct its own engineering entrance test?
Ans. No. SPPU does not conduct any engineering entrance test. B.E./B.Tech admissions at all SPPU-affiliated engineering colleges go through DTE Maharashtra’s CAP, based on MHT CET 2026 score (for Maharashtra candidates) or JEE Main score (for OMS candidates). Apply at fe2026.mahacet.org. SPPU’s own OEE exam is used only for direct PG programmes at university departments.
Ques. What MHT CET percentile is needed for top SPPU engineering colleges?
Ans. COEP Pune CSE had a Round 2 closing percentile of 99.97 for the General Open (Maharashtra) category in 2026-27. PICT Pune Computer Engineering closed at 98.69 percentile (rank 893, All India) in Round 2. Mid-tier SPPU-affiliated engineering colleges in Pune closed between 90 and 96 percentile for CSE in the same cycle.
Ques. Which exam scores does DTE Maharashtra accept for MBA admission?
Ans. DTE Maharashtra accepts MAH MBA CET, CAT, CMAT, ATMA, MAT, XAT, and GMAT scores for MBA and MMS admissions at SPPU-affiliated management institutes.

Ques. How does MBBS admission work at SPPU-affiliated medical colleges?
Ans. MBBS admission runs through two parallel routes. For 15% All India Quota seats, MCC conducts counselling at mcc.nic.in. For 85% Maharashtra state quota seats, the Maharashtra State CET Cell conducts the CAP at cetcell.mahacet.org. Maharashtra has 9,000 MBBS seats in the state pool. NEET UG 2026 qualification is mandatory for both routes. Maharashtra domicile is required for the state quota route.
Ques. What is SPPU OEE and which students need it?

It is a 100-question MCQ test with negative marking: 80 subject-specific and 20 general aptitude questions. Students applying to MBA, MCA, or B.Pharm do NOT take the SPPU OEE — those programmes use MAH MBA CET, MAH MCA CET, and MHT CET respectively through DTE Maharashtra.
Ques. Can OMS (outside Maharashtra) candidates apply for DTE Maharashtra B.E. CAP?
Ans. Yes. OMS candidates can apply using JEE Main 2026 Paper 1 score. OMS seats (separate from Maharashtra domicile seats) are available at SPPU-affiliated engineering colleges. The registration fee for OMS candidates is INR 1,300. Register at fe2026.mahacet.org during the CAP window. OMS candidates compete in a separate merit list and cannot apply for Maharashtra state quota seats.
Ques. What is the fee for B.E. at government-aided SPPU-affiliated engineering colleges?
Ans. Annual fees at government and government-aided engineering colleges affiliated with SPPU range from approximately INR 80,000 to INR 1,80,000 per year (2025-26 reference). SC and ST students are eligible for full tuition fee waiver at government colleges. Private unaided college fees can range up to INR 4 lakh per year for top branches such as CSE and AI.
Ques. Is Maharashtra domicile required for SPPU college admission?
Ans. Maharashtra domicile is required for Maharashtra state quota seats in B.E., MBA, and MBBS programmes.
