With 90% in your diploma in Computer Science, you have strong potential for lateral entry (direct into the 2nd year) of B.Tech in Computer Engineering from polytechnic at many top colleges in Mumbai.

To be eligible for lateral entry you usually need at least 50% in diploma (45% for reserved categories), so your 90% is well above that.

Here are some good colleges in Mumbai offering lateral B.Tech in Computer Engineering:

VJTI (Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute)
SPIT (Sardar Patel Institute of Technology)
TCET (Thakur College of Engineering & Technology)
PVPP (Padmashree Vasantdada Patil Polytechnic)
KJ Somaiya School of Engineering
Fr. CRCE (Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering)

In top colleges like VJTI, closing merit for computer engineering is often in the 90+ percentile range, but your marks are competitive.

For mid-tier colleges like SPIT or TCET, closing percentiles range from 90 to 96 percentile. With your high diploma marks, you have a good chance, especially in the direct second-year DSE (Diploma to Second Year Engineering) admission process.

The Maharashtra CAP counseling portal (for 2nd-year admissions) will open later this year. During counseling you can list these colleges in your choices based on your preference. After seat allotment, you’ll need to verify documents and pay the fees.

So yes, 90% in diploma makes you eligible and competitive for good and popular B.Tech Computer Engineering colleges in Mumbai. Just apply during lateral entry counselling and list your preferred colleges.

Hello,

Based on your scores — 92 percentile in MHT CET (PCM) and 83.33 percentile in JEE Main — you can get some good colleges in Maharashtra for BTech in Computer Science Engineering . Here are some options you can consider:

Through MHT CET (92 percentile):

You have a better chance with MHT CET score. Some good colleges you can try for:

• Pune Institute of Computer Technology (PICT), Pune

• Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT), Pune

• MIT-WPU (School of Engineering), Pune

• Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli

• Shri Ramdeobaba College of Engineering and Management (RCOEM), Nagpur

• Government College of Engineering, Aurangabad

• KJ Somaiya College of Engineering, Mumbai (May be tough, but try)

• SPIT Mumbai (Sardar Patel Institute of Technology) (Low chance, but still fill for counselling)

Through JEE Main (83.33 percentile):

Your JEE score is a bit low for top NITs. But still, you can try:

• IIIT Nagpur (May be borderline, depends on category and home state)

• Some private universities in Maharashtra or nearby states that accept JEE scores.

Hope it helps !

Hello!

With 86% in MHT CET PCM, you stand a strong chance to get into several good engineering colleges in Maharashtra for Computer Science (CS) and related courses like IT, AI & DS, Cybersecurity, etc. Some top options could be COEP Technological University, VJTI Mumbai, Sardar Patel Institute of Technology, and Government College of Engineering, Pune. You can also look into PICT Pune and Walchand College of Engineering.

During CAP (Centralised Admission Process) rounds, focus on filling as many preference options as possible, starting from the top colleges to the lower ones, so you maximize your chances. Also, if your percentile is high enough, you can even get autonomous or university-affiliated top-tier private colleges with good placements. Keep your documents ready, including domicile and caste certificates (if applicable).

Thank you and best wishes for your admission!

Hey! So for the first year of BSc Computer Science, the fees really depend on what kind of college you’re applying to. If it’s a government college, the fees are usually pretty low—somewhere around ten thousand to maybe fifty thousand per year. It’s super affordable and a great option if you’re looking to save on costs.

Now if you're going for a state university or semi-government college, the fees can go a bit higher, like maybe around twenty to seventy thousand per year. These colleges are usually a nice balance between cost and quality.

But if it’s a private college, then the fees are definitely higher. It could be around fifty thousand to even one and a half lakh a year, depending on how popular or established the college is. Some big-name private colleges might even go a little beyond that.

Hello Maruthi,

Yes, you have a decent possibility of securing a seat in Computer Science Engineering with a KCET rank of 77,100 under the ST category in some government or private colleges in Karnataka - especially the rural and newer institutions. This is under the assumption that you would likely not get into the top tier of colleges with such a rank. Using the KCET option entry portal and practicing mock allotments will allow you to be more strategic. KCET College Predictor 2025

The mark of 189 in NEET is a score that one could hardly have qualified to have a seat in any government medical college in Bengaluru Karnataka. The Bangalore Medical college and research institute is one of the top government colleges and its cut offs have traditionally been far higher, and most times, they end up being above 600 marks.

Alright, let’s cut to the chase.

KCET rank: 28,425

Category: 3A Rural

Dream: B.Tech CSE at KVG, Sullia

First up, here’s what went down last year:

At KVG, for good ol’ CSE, the general closing rank was about 105,000. That’s, like, miles behind your rank. AI branch? Even higher—somewhere between 101k and 217k, depending on how hot the branch was.

Now, you’re in the 3A Rural squad. That’s a legit bonus. It means your cut-off is usually a fair bit higher than the general one (read: easier to get in).

Let’s talk 3A cutoffs. Platform says top colleges want 3A Rural folks to clock somewhere between 12,300 and 12,600 for CSE. But KVG isn’t a “top dog” college; it’s more like a solid mid-tier option. So, the bar drops, and people with ranks between 30,000 and 50,000+ have made the cut there. Nice.

What’s it mean for you?

You’re sitting pretty. Your 28,425 is way, way above last year’s closing rank and sits comfortably within the “should get in” zone for KVG’s CSE, especially with your 3A Rural edge. Unless there’s some wild, never-seen-before surge in demand, you’re in safe territory.

So, what now?

1. Don’t sleep on the KEA rounds—show up for all three if you can, but the earlier, the better.

2. Put KVG CSE at the top when you’re picking college/course options.

3. Have a backup plan (maybe check out other colleges in that 30-50 thousand rank range… just in case the universe decides to be weird).

With that 3A Rural badge and your current rank, you’re looking at a very solid shot at Computer Science in KVG. Just don’t miss the deadlines and you’ll probably be packing your bags for Sullia soon. Good luck, and may the server bugs be ever in your favor!

Hello,

If you lost your COMEDK admit card , download it again from the official COMEDK website using your login.

If your PUC marks card is not issued yet, you can upload the provisional marks or a result sheet from your school.

Also, you must enter Chemistry marks. COMEDK does not allow Computer Science marks in place of Chemistry.

And, if you took the PUC supplementary exam, you should select “Taken Supplementary” in the form.

For BTech CSE at PSG College of Technology Coimbatore under management quota the fee is significantly higher than regular state quota seats Based on recent admission data management quota fee for CSE starts at around five lakh eighty thousand rupees This fee applies per year and is roughly seventy thousand more than the state quota fee Regular annual tuition for CSE under TNEA is approximately fifty five thousand rupees while management quota seats cost several lakhs You should also be aware that hostel food and other charges will add to your total cost If you are considering this option it is important to confirm details directly with the admission office as fees can vary slightly each year

DEAR STUDENT,

with, a COMEDK UGET rank of 60,000 securing a government seat in computer science at TUMKUR college is Highly unlikely
