Institute Profiles
VJTI Mumbai: One of India’s oldest engineering institutes (established 1887), an autonomous government-aided institute in Matunga. Its Maharashtra CAP seats are filled at State Level, and Computer Engineering closed at the very top of the merit list in 2026.
COEP Technological University, Pune: A state technological university. Under the 2026-27 CAP rules, 80% of its seats are filled at State Level and 20% through All India merit — one of the few Maharashtra government institutes with All India seats.
SPIT and DJ Sanghvi, Mumbai: Leading private unaided colleges in Mumbai with strong placements in computing branches. DJ Sanghvi is a Gujarati linguistic minority institute, so a significant share of its seats is reserved for minority candidates.
PICT and VIT, Pune: Pune’s most popular private colleges for computer and IT branches. PICT’s Electronics and Computer Engineering closed at 99.5885253 in CAP Round I 2026.
Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli: A government-aided autonomous institute with both aided and unaided seats. In 2026, its unaided CSE seats closed at 99.4889566 and AI & ML (unaided) at 99.3520602.
Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai: Participates in CAP for its chemical engineering and technology branches (no computer branch in CAP). Its seats are split 70% State Level and 30% All India.
Top Pharmacy Admissions
B.Pharm and Pharm.D seats are allotted through a separate pharmacy CAP. As per news reports, the 2026 pharmacy CAP Round I allotted over 28,000 seats across more than 500 colleges. Check the official pharmacy portal for institute-wise cutoffs.
Key Takeaways
All colleges listed above participate in Maharashtra CAP (confirmed from the official 2026 cut-off list).
Computer branches at top Mumbai and Pune colleges closed above 99.5 percentile in CAP Round I 2026.
Strong government colleges in Marathwada and Vidarbha closed around 97 percentile for CSE.
Cutoffs change every year and differ by category, quota and round.
Pro Tip: Do not fill choices only by brand. A 98.5 percentile may not get CSE at a top Pune college, but it can get CSE at a strong government college or a core branch at a top institute — compare branch + college combinations.
