| HOW YOU GET IN |
| Admission route for D Y Patil College of Engineering, Akurdi, Pune: MHT-CET + CAP / JEE Main. Always confirm the current cycle's dates, eligibility and seat matrix on the official portal before you file. |
| TWO THINGS MOVING RIGHT NOW |
| 1. But 73% placed means one in four students is not placed, and that rate has not improved: 76% in 2023, 72% in 2024, 73% in 2025. The median is rising while coverage stays flat. |
| 2. For reserved-category families the fee changes character entirely: about ₹86,000 a year for OBC and EWS, and about ₹4,189 a year for SC and ST. At that price it is one of the cheapest good engineering degrees in Maharashtra. |
| THE HONEST READ |
| WHICH DY PATIL matters. This is Akurdi — SPPU, CAP, institute code 06272. DIT Pimpri, DY Patil University Pimpri and the Navi Mumbai campus are different institutions. Use the code, not the name. |
| The median is rising fast - Rs 4.5 L to Rs 5.4 L to Rs 6.0 L in three years - on a Rs 6 L CAP fee. But 73% placed means one in four is not placed. The upward trend is real; the coverage is not yet. |
| 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. |
