Top Engineering Colleges in Pune 2026

For general category students, 95 percentile is typically not enough for core branches like Computer Science or Electronics at COEP. You might have a chance in lower-demand branches or if you fall under a reserved category.

Government College of Engineering Pune (COEP), Pune Institute of Computer Technology (though unaided, it is among the top), Government Polytechnic Pune (for diploma), and others affiliated with Savitribai Phule Pune University like AISSMS, Bharati Vidyapeeth (deemed), and VIT are top names but purely government-run engineering colleges in Pune are limited. Most colleges are private or government-aided.

Fees for engineering courses in Pune range from Rs 80,000 to Rs 1.8 lakh per year in private colleges. Government colleges like COEP charge around Rs 70,000 to Rs 90,000 annually.

At 70 percentile, you may get admission in mid-tier private colleges such as JSPM Narhe, Zeal College of Engineering, Trinity Academy of Engineering, Dhole Patil College of Engineering, or Suman Ramesh Tulsiani Technical Campus depending on the branch cutoffs and category.
