MKSSS's Cummins College of Engineering for Women Admission 2026: Cutoff, Fees & Placements

Cummins College of Engineering for Women (institute code 06276) is an Un-Aided, Autonomous engineering institute in Karvenagar, Pune, run by the Maharshi Karve Stree Shikshan Samstha (MKSSS) trust and affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University. Admission is open exclusively to female candidates, and runs entirely through the Maharashtra State Centralised Admission Process (CAP) on MHT-CET merit.

An honest gap, stated rather than guessed: the CAP documents held for this page show Maharashtra State-level seats and an All India row filled via JEE Main scores within the same CAP process — both are confirmed in the primary document. What this page does not independently verify is any separate institute-level or management-quota admission process beyond CAP; if Cummins College runs one, confirm its rules directly with the college admissions office before assuming it exists.

A discrepancy we are reporting rather than resolving. A separate page on the same college website states the Open-category First Year total differently: Tuition Fee ₹1,70,869 plus Development Fee ₹25,631, totalling ₹1,96,500 — about ₹11,936 lower than the detailed fees page's ₹2,08,436. We do not know which page reflects the current, final figure. Confirm the exact amount directly with the college's accounts office before paying, and treat both figures as unverified against each other until the college clarifies.

Why reserved-category totals are much lower — and the catch. As with other Maharashtra CAP institutes, most of the lower reserved-category totals depend on a MahaDBT scholarship/reimbursement application being approved for the student's category. Budget the Open-category figure until an approval is actually confirmed.

All five branches are open exclusively to female candidates, and the regular sanctioned intake for each branch further splits into Maharashtra State-level, All-India (JEE Main), and institute-level seats within the CAP process, per the official allotment lists.

Each cell reads "closing merit number · closing percentile" for the last plain State-Level Open (GOPENS) allotment in that branch's CAP Round I list. Lower merit number and higher percentile both mean a tighter cutoff.

What two years shows. Every branch closed tighter (higher percentile) in 2026-27 than in 2025-26 — a consistent direction across all five branches, not a mixed result. Computer Engineering moved from 99.27 to 99.40 percentile; Instrumentation & Control, the loosest branch in both years, still tightened from 97.86 to 98.12 percentile. Only two years are held for this page; a longer trend would need the 2023-24 and 2024-25 CAP files, which have not yet been read for this institute.

Read across a single branch, not down a single year. These are State-Level Open figures only, for a women-only intake — do not compare them directly against a coeducational institute's general-category cutoff without accounting for the different candidate pool.

Companies that visited campus in AY2024-25 (as named in the college's own document): Arcesium, VISA, SAP, Wells Fargo, Walmart, Deutsche Bank, Oracle, Lowe's, Citi, Providence, Druva, Kenvue, Netradyne, Nomura, Mastercard, Barclays, Micron, General Mills, Northern Trust, Siemens PLM, PepsiCo, Spekle, Amdocs, Verizon, Dell, Eaton, CGI, Deloitte, Fractal, Emerson, Alfa Laval, Western Union, BNY Mellon, Adobe, and AllianceBernstein.

What this document does not state, and what this page will not invent: a median package, branch-wise breakdown, per-company offer counts, or per-company package figures. An earlier draft of this page stated a specific median (labelled as an "NIRF" figure) and specific per-company numbers (for example, a stated 39 offers from Citi at ₹18 LPA) — none of those figures appear in the official document held for this page, so they have been removed rather than carried forward unverified.

An average of ₹17 LPA sits well above the ₹6 LPA minimum and below the ₹36 LPA highest — a wide range that a single average figure does not explain. Without a published median, this page cannot tell you what a typical graduate actually received; ask the placement office directly for the branch-wise median if that number matters to your decision.

What this table does not cover, stated rather than estimated: mess/food charges are not itemised separately in the document held for this page, and continuing-year (2nd/3rd/4th year) hostel rates are not confirmed. Given over 250 students reportedly join from outside Maharashtra each year, demand for on-campus rooms is real — confirm current availability and the full cost (including mess) directly with the hostel office before budgeting.

Future Career Guidance can help a student read the route, compare options and prepare documents. It cannot override CAP merit, create a seat, or replace Cummins College's own admission office and payment systems.

Cummins College, PICT Pune and COEP Technological University are three Pune-based Maharashtra CAP institutes candidates often compare, though the eligible candidate pool differs — Cummins College admits only women.

The genuine divergence here is eligibility, not just fees or cutoff. A candidate weighing Cummins College against PICT or COEP is choosing between a women-only campus and a coeducational one — a decision that fee and cutoff comparisons alone do not capture. Verify your own category-specific cutoff and current fee at each institute directly before ranking them.
