| THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER |
| Total four-year fee | Rs 1,56,464 first-year total → ~Rs 6.2 L for the degree (verify) |
| Yearly (average) | About Rs 1.55 lakh a year |

| HOW YOU GET IN |
| Admission route for COEP Technological University, Pune: MHT-CET + CAP (85%) / JEE Main (15%). Always confirm the current cycle's dates, eligibility and seat matrix on the official portal before you file. |
| TWO THINGS MOVING RIGHT NOW |
| 1. 2025-26: 633 of 702 registered B.Tech students placed — 90% — with an average of ₹12.50 lakh and a highest of ₹60.30 lakh from D.E. Shaw. 245 companies recruited, with 365 internship offers on top. |
| 2. The branch spread is brutal: Metallurgy's median is ₹6.50 lakh and Civil placed only 28 of 43 (65.12%). A 2.5x gap inside one college. Never quote the CSE number to a core-branch family. |
| THE HONEST READ |
| CSE closes at 99.90–99.95 percentile — only the top 0.1% of MHT-CET candidates. The fee is low only for students who already won that cutoff, so build the plan around the percentile, not the fee. |
| THE BEST-VALUE DEGREE IN MAHARASHTRA. A CSE median of Rs 16.15 L on a ~Rs 6.2 L fee is a payback of under five months. Nothing else in this workbook is close. |
| BEFORE YOU PAY THE FIRST INSTALMENT |
| 1. Ask for the branch-wise median — the institute figure hides the branch you are actually joining. |
| 2. Ask for the placed-versus-eligible count, not the percentage. A count is evidence; a percentage is a claim. |
| 3. Ask which quota or fee category the quote refers to. In this college the same seat can carry two or three different prices. |
| 4. Diarise the counselling round you are planning for, and the refund deadline that follows it. |
| TALK TO SOMEONE WHO HAS ACTUALLY DONE IT |
| Talk 1:1 with final-year students of the exact course and college you are considering. Ask them what the brochure will never tell you — how the teaching actually works, which branches get real recruiter attention, what the hostel and mess cost in year three, and what the final bill looked like. Then decide, with the full picture in front of you. We also handle end-to-end guidance on engineering form filling, counselling rounds, seat allotment, campus visits and travel. |
