DY Patil Talegaon Admission 2026: Cutoff, Fees & Placements

Dr. D. Y. Patil College of Engineering and Innovation (DYPCOEI) is a private unaided engineering college run by the Dr. D. Y. Patil Educational Federation. It was established in 2014 at Varale, Talegaon, on Pune's north-western edge — the belt students loosely call the Ambi/Talegaon D Y Patil campus cluster (DYPCOEI official About page). It is affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU college code CEGP020340), approved by AICTE, and carries DTE institute code EN6834 — the code you will look for in the CAP option form. The college states a NAAC A grade with a CGPA of 3.1 on its official site.

The most important recent change: UGC and SPPU conferred autonomous status on DYPCOEI from AY2025-26 (DYPCOEI official About page). Autonomy means the college now frames its own B.Tech curriculum and examinations, while the degree continues to come from SPPU. Admission, however, still runs through the State CET Cell's centralised process.

One clarification that saves real confusion: DYPCOEI is not D Y Patil University Pune, the separate private university on MIDC Road, Ambi, which runs its own admissions. It is also not the D Y Patil colleges at Akurdi or Pimpri. Same family name, different institutions, different fees and cutoffs — always match DTE code EN6834 before filling options.

DYPCOEI seats are filled through Maharashtra's Centralised Admission Process (CAP), conducted by the State CET Cell. Maharashtra-seat candidates qualify on the MHT-CET percentile; All-India-seat candidates use the JEE Main score — the college's own checklist asks for an MHT-CET or JEE scorecard (DYPCOEI official Documents page). Options are filled using DYPCOEI's course choice codes: 0683424510 for Computer Engineering, 0683426310 for AI and Data Science, and 0683492110 for AI and Machine Learning (AY2025-26, DYPCOEI official Program and Intake page). Sanctioned first-year intake on the same page: 180, 180 and 120 seats respectively.

The route in practice: register on the CET Cell portal, complete document verification, fill the option form with DYPCOEI's choice codes, and wait for allotment across successive CAP rounds. On allotment, you confirm the seat as per the round's rules and report to the college with originals and fees.

Seats left vacant after CAP move to institute-level rounds. DYPCOEI publishes its own Against-CAP (ACAP) merit lists — separate CET and JEE lists — and runs SPOT round admissions, all announced on its website. In the 2025-26 cycle, for example, the college displayed its FY B.Tech merit list on 11 September 2025 and executed admissions from 13 September (DYPCOEI admission notices). Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme (TFWS) seats also exist here — they appear as a separate, higher cutoff line in the college's published cutoffs.

DYPCOEI's fee page is unusually transparent for a private college: it publishes category-wise tables for multiple years and notes that tuition and development fees are subject to Maharashtra's Fees Regulating Authority (FRA). For first-year B.Tech in AY2025-26, the open-category fee is ₹91,747 tuition plus ₹12,753 development fee — ₹1,04,500 payable to the college, plus a ₹973 university fee (AY2025-26, DYPCOEI official fee-structure page).

In one line: an open-category Maharashtra candidate pays ₹1,05,473 in the first year, while reserved categories pay sharply less under state fee-waiver schemes (AY2025-26, DYPCOEI official fee-structure page; totals below include the university fee).

The year-on-year trend is visible on the same page: the open-category first-year total was ₹95,973 in AY2024-25 against ₹1,05,473 in AY2025-26. AY2026-27 figures: [FIGURE MISSING — AY2026-27] — the FRA-linked revision will appear on the college's fee-structure page; confirm there before paying anything.

DYPCOEI publishes its own cutoff page — rare among private colleges and genuinely useful. The figures below are MHT-CET percentiles at which general (non-Ladies) seats closed in the 2025-26 admission cycle (AY2025-26, DYPCOEI official Last Year Cut-off page).

In one line: open-category seats closed between roughly the 84th and 87th percentile across the three branches in 2025-26, with TFWS closing higher — up to 91.97 in AI and Data Science (AY2025-26, DYPCOEI official Last Year Cut-off page).

How to read this: TFWS closes above open because fee-waiver seats are few and heavily contested. Computer Engineering closes highest of the three branches. Category and EWS figures swing widely year to year — small seat counts make them noisy, so never treat one year's EWS number as a promise. Institute-round (ACAP and SPOT) closings can sit below the CAP figures shown here. If your percentile is in the low-to-mid 80s, DYPCOEI belongs in the middle band of your option list, not at the top of it.

Read this section carefully, because the honest answer is short: DYPCOEI's website carries a placement policy and a pre-placement training page, but we could not find a published placement-statistics page anywhere on the official domain — no median package, no offer counts, no recruiter-wise numbers.

• Median package: [FIGURE MISSING — AY2025-26] — not published on dypcoei.edu.in.
• Average and highest package: [FIGURE MISSING — AY2025-26] — not published on the official site.
• NIRF data: we could not locate a DYPCOEI submission on nirfindia.org, so no audited median salary exists for this college either.

Placement numbers you may see for this college on aggregator sites cannot be verified against any official document — do not size an education loan on them. Before accepting a seat, ask the Training and Placement Cell in writing for branch-wise placed-versus-eligible counts and the median for the latest batch. The college's own placement policy states that placement "is not a claim/right" — standard wording, but a useful reminder: pre-placement training is provided, outcomes are not guaranteed, and here they are not even published.

DYPCOEI runs boys' and girls' hostel facilities. The last rate published on the official hostel page is ₹77,000 for the year plus a ₹5,000 refundable deposit — ₹82,000 in total (AY2023-24, DYPCOEI official hostel page). Current-year rate: [FIGURE MISSING — AY2026-27] — confirm with the hostel office, since the page has not carried a newer figure.

The single biggest budgeting detail, from the college's own hostel rules: mess facility and laundry service are not provided. Food is a separate monthly cost on top of the hostel rent — build it into the loan maths.

• Provided: bed, cupboard and table; electricity; Wi-Fi; housekeeping; hot water in the morning slot (6:30–8:30 a.m.).
• Payment: 75% of hostel fees at admission, balance 25% within two months; digital payment or DD only.
• Refunds: fees are non-refundable except the ₹5,000 deposit.
• Eligibility: local students are not eligible for hostel admission; overnight absence needs the warden's written permission.

The campus itself is compact — about 3.5 acres at Varale near Talegaon on the Mumbai–Pune corridor (DYPCOEI official site). The college also lists a transport facility on its site, so if you live along the Talegaon–Pimpri-Chinchwad belt, day-scholar commuting is a realistic alternative to boarding; check the routes before you decide.

Honest reasons to look elsewhere:

• You want a non-computing branch. Every undergraduate seat here is Computer Engineering, AI-Data Science or AI-Machine Learning. There is no Mechanical, Civil or E&TC — and if software hiring dips, the whole campus feels it at once.
• Your decision depends on verified placement outcomes. With no published statistics and no NIRF submission we could locate, placement claims for this college cannot be independently checked. A family financing the seat with a loan should weigh colleges that publish audited numbers.
• You want brand depth. The college dates from 2014 and its autonomy only from AY2025-26; the alumni network is a fraction of what COEP Pune or PICT Pune carry.
• Your percentile clears stronger closings. If you are comfortably above the high-80s percentile, exhaust COEP Pune, PICT Pune and VIT Pune options first.
• Your budget is exactly the printed fee. The hostel does not include mess, so food, laundry and transport sit on top of the ₹1,05,473 first-year total (AY2025-26, official fee page) and the ₹82,000 hostel figure last published for AY2023-24.
• You actually meant the university at Ambi. If your offer is from D Y Patil University Pune, that is a different institution with a different admission route and fee logic — do not mix the two.

Where DYPCOEI sits among Pune-region engineering options, axis by axis:

• Cutoff altitude: COEP Pune and PICT Pune historically close far above DYPCOEI's mid-80s percentile band, and VIT Pune also typically closes higher. DYPCOEI is the realistic middle-order option when those are out of reach, not a substitute when your score qualifies for them.
• Fees: COEP Pune, as a public institution, costs a fraction of any private college's FRA-approved fee. Among private peers, DYPCOEI's ₹1,05,473 first-year open-category total (AY2025-26, DYPCOEI official fee-structure page) sits in the ordinary band for SPPU-belt private colleges.
• Specialisation: PICT Pune built its computing reputation over decades; DYPCOEI is making the same all-computing bet but with a record that only starts in 2014. VJTI Mumbai is the legacy-brand alternative if you are open to Mumbai and its living costs.
• Transparency: DYPCOEI beats many peers by publishing multi-year fees and its own cutoff lists, but publishes no placement numbers at all — the older institutions leave a longer public trail. Decide with that asymmetry in mind.

Bottom line: slot DYPCOEI into a CAP option list below COEP Pune, PICT Pune and VIT Pune, as a fee-transparent, computing-only, mid-percentile choice — and verify the placement question directly with the college before you lock it.
