DY Patil Talegaon: what it is and where it stands
DYPCOEI is a private unaided, SPPU-affiliated engineering college at Varale, Talegaon, autonomous from AY2025-26, and distinct from other "DY Patil" institutions.
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. 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. 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 ADYPU (Lohegaon), Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth (Pimpri), or the D Y Patil colleges at Akurdi. Same family name, different institutions, different fees and cutoffs — always match DTE code EN6834 before filling options.
Admission route: how you actually get a seat
DYPCOEI admits through Maharashtra CAP on MHT-CET or JEE Main merit, plus institute-level ACAP/SPOT rounds for vacant seats.
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. 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. 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. Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme (TFWS) seats also exist here — they appear as a separate, higher cutoff line in the college's published cutoffs.
Fees (2026-27)
The college's own fee-structure page now shows a self-checking AY2026-27 total — up from ₹1,05,473 in AY2025-26.
DYPCOEI's fee page is unusually transparent for a private college: it publishes category-wise tables for multiple years, each self-checking (tuition + development + SPPU fees = grand total), and notes that tuition and development fees are subject to Maharashtra's Fees Regulating Authority (FRA).
| Category | Tuition + Development | SPPU fees | Grand total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open (Maharashtra candidature) | ₹1,17,000 | ₹973 | ₹1,17,973 |
| Open (Other than Maharashtra) | ₹1,17,000 | ₹1,473 | ₹1,18,473 |
| OBC / EBC / EWS | ₹66,131 | ₹973 | ₹67,104 |
| SC / ST | ₹0 | ₹973 | ₹973 |
| VJNT / SBC / TFWS | ₹15,261 | ₹973 | ₹16,234 |
The year-on-year trend, from the same page: the Open-category first-year total was ₹95,973 in AY2024-25, ₹1,05,473 in AY2025-26, and ₹1,17,973 in AY2026-27 — a roughly 10-12% increase each year. Direct Second Year (DSE) fees follow the same category structure at a lower base (₹1,05,473 Open, AY2026-27).
Each row checks itself: the tuition-plus-development subtotal and the itemised SPPU fees (covering eligibility, gymkhana, welfare fund, medical examination, disaster management, computerisation, registration, safety insurance, sports fund, NSS fund, corpus fund and divisional sports committee contributions) sum exactly to the printed grand total in every category, every year.
Cutoff trends: how to read them
DYPCOEI publishes its own cutoff page — 2025-26 Open category closed 84.49–87.14 percentile; no 2026-27 figure exists yet.
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.
| Branch | Open | OBC | EWS | TFWS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Computer Engineering | 87.14 | 84.88 | 49.15 | 88.17 |
| AI and Data Science | 85.97 | 84.97 | 53.75 | 91.97 |
| AI and Machine Learning | 84.49 | 83.49 | 25.45 | 87.77 |
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.
An honest scope limit, checked again for this rebuild: as of this capture, no 2026-27 CAP cutoff has been published on the college's own cutoff page — the 2025-26 figures above remain the latest available. 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.
Placements: what the college now publishes
DYPCOEI's own placement statistics — not locatable in July 2026 — are now published: 144+ offers, 274+ internships, ₹5.18 LPA average, ₹12 LPA highest.
An update from this rebuild: DYPCOEI's official site did not carry a placement-statistics page as of July 2026. It does now — a "Placement Statistics" infographic on the campus-placements page, plus named highest-package examples in the college's own 2026-27 Prospectus (page 45).
| Year — branch | Placement index |
|---|---|
| 2022-23 — Computer Engineering | 72.00% |
| 2023-24 — Computer Engineering | 80.00% |
| 2024-25 — Computer Engineering | 78.79% |
| 2024-25 — AI and Data Science | 93.75% |
| 2025-26 — Computer Engineering | 64.44%* |
| 2025-26 — AI and Data Science | 73.53%* |
*2025-26 figures are marked provisional on the official graphic. The same graphic states, university-wide for the period covered: 144+ total job offers, 274+ internships, a highest package of ₹12 LPA, and an average package of ₹5.18 LPA.
The college's 2026-27 Prospectus (page 45) names specific placed students with real packages, which this page reproduces as evidence the ₹12 LPA figure is real and attributable, not a marketing round number: Aishwarya Patil (AI-DS) and Sakshi Adhav (Computer Engineering) at ₹12 LPA, both at Tracelink; three students at ₹5.8 LPA (ICICI Lombard); four students at ₹9 LPA (Movidu); four students at ₹5 LPA (Synechron); three students at ₹8 LPA (Edu-versity); and further named placements at TCS (₹3.46 LPA), Infosys (₹3.6 LPA), ExcelR (₹3 LPA) and EbixCash (₹3.5 LPA).
What this page still will not state: a median salary. The official graphic publishes an average (₹5.18 LPA) and a highest (₹12 LPA), not a median — and this site does not compute one from named examples, since that would not be the college's own figure.
Hostel & campus life
The last published hostel rate is ₹82,000 total for AY2023-24; no newer figure has been published, and mess/laundry are not included.
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). Checked again for this rebuild (2026-08-20): no newer rate has been published — confirm the current figure with the hostel office before budgeting.
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. 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.
Common mistakes DYPCOEI applicants make
Most errors come from confusing DYPCOEI with a different "DY Patil" institution, or missing the year-over-year fee increase.
| The mistake | Why it misleads | What to read instead |
|---|---|---|
| Confusing DYPCOEI with D Y Patil University Pune (Ambi), ADYPU (Lohegaon), DY Patil Pimpri or Akurdi | Five separate institutions share the "DY Patil" family name, each with a different trust, admission system and fee. | The institute-identity section above; always match DTE code EN6834 |
| Budgeting AY2025-26's ₹1,05,473 fee for the current cycle | The AY2026-27 fee has since increased to ₹1,17,973 Open category — a roughly 12% year-over-year rise. | The Fees section above |
| Assuming the 2025-26 cutoff (84.49-87.14 percentile) still applies | No 2026-27 cutoff has been published as of this capture — the CAP process for the current cycle was still running. | The Cutoff section above |
| Treating ₹5.18 LPA as the placement rate rather than the average package | ₹5.18 LPA is the average package figure; the placement rate (% placed) is a separate figure, published per branch per year. | The Placements section above |
How DY Patil Talegaon compares
DYPCOEI is a fee-transparent, computing-only, mid-percentile CAP option — below COEP, PICT and VIT Pune, but ahead of many peers on published data.
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 ₹1,17,973 first-year open-category total (AY2026-27) 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 now publishes multi-year fees, its own cutoff lists, and — as of this rebuild — a placement statistics graphic and named prospectus examples, closing a gap that existed as recently as July 2026.
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 with a now-published (if modest) placement record.

Frequently asked questions
Which exam do I need for DYPCOEI Talegaon, and who runs the counselling?
Maharashtra-seat admission runs on your MHT-CET percentile through the State CET Cell's Centralised Admission Process (CAP); All-India seats use JEE Main scores. You register on the CET Cell portal, verify documents, then fill the option form using DYPCOEI's DTE code EN6834 and its branch choice codes. Allotment happens over successive CAP rounds, after which you confirm the seat and report to the college with originals.
What is the DYPCOEI fee for AY2026-27?
The college's own fee-structure page states an Open-category first-year total of ₹1,17,973 (Tuition ₹1,01,739 + Development ₹15,261 + SPPU fees ₹973), up from ₹1,05,473 in AY2025-26. OBC/EBC/EWS pays ₹67,104, SC/ST pays ₹973, and VJNT/SBC/TFWS pays ₹16,234.
What happens if I don't get DYPCOEI in the main CAP rounds?
Vacant seats move to institute-level rounds. DYPCOEI publishes separate Against-CAP (ACAP) merit lists for CET and JEE candidates on its own website, followed by SPOT round admissions — keep watching dypcoei.edu.in even after the main CAP rounds end.
What is DYPCOEI's 2025-26 CAP cutoff?
Open category closed between the 84.49 and 87.14 percentile across the three branches (Computer Engineering highest at 87.14), with TFWS closing higher — up to 91.97 in AI and Data Science. No 2026-27 cutoff has been published yet as of this capture.
What does DYPCOEI's own placement data show?
The college's official Placement Statistics graphic states 144+ total job offers, 274+ internships, an average package of ₹5.18 LPA and a highest package of ₹12 LPA (Tracelink). Branch-wise placement rates ranged from 64.44% (Computer Engineering, 2025-26, provisional) to 93.75% (AI and Data Science, 2024-25). No median salary is published.
How does hostel allotment work, and is mess included?
Apply to the hostel office once your admission confirms; local students are not eligible, so outstation students effectively get priority. You pay 75% of hostel fees at admission and the balance within two months, by digital payment or DD. Mess and laundry are not provided — budget food separately. The ₹5,000 deposit is the only refundable component (last published rate, AY2023-24); confirm current-year rates directly.
Can I change my branch after first year at DYPCOEI?
The college has not published a branch-change policy on its official website. As an autonomous institution it governs internal transfers within AICTE and university norms, which generally allow first-year performers to move against vacancies — but that is the general pattern, not a DYPCOEI commitment. If branch flexibility matters to your decision, get the current policy in writing from the admission office before you pay.
Is DYPCOEI the same as D Y Patil University, Ambi?
No. DYPCOEI (Dr. D. Y. Patil College of Engineering and Innovation, DTE code EN6834) is an SPPU-affiliated college admitting through Maharashtra CAP. D Y Patil University, Pune (also near Ambi/Talegaon) is a separate private university that runs its own admissions and fee structure outside CAP. Confirm which institution your offer is actually from before proceeding.
Extended admission FAQs
How has DYPCOEI's fee changed over the last three years?
Open-category first-year total: ₹95,973 in AY2024-25, ₹1,05,473 in AY2025-26, and ₹1,17,973 in AY2026-27 — a roughly 10-12% year-over-year increase each cycle, per the college's own fee-structure page.
What is DYPCOEI's DTE institute code?
EN6834. Always confirm this code, and the specific branch choice code (0683424510 for Computer Engineering, 0683426310 for AI and Data Science, 0683492110 for AI and Machine Learning), against the current year's CAP option form before submitting preferences.
Does DYPCOEI offer a Mechanical, Civil or E&TC branch?
No. DYPCOEI's undergraduate offering is limited to three computing branches: Computer Engineering, AI and Data Science, and AI and Machine Learning. There is no core-engineering branch at this college.
What does the DYPCOEI placement 'index' percentage mean?
It is the percentage of eligible students placed in that branch and year, as published on the college's own Placement Statistics graphic — for example, 93.75% for AI and Data Science in 2024-25. It is a placement rate, not a salary figure; the average and highest package are reported separately.
Why does the 2025-26 placement figure carry an asterisk?
The college's own Placement Statistics graphic marks the 2025-26 figures (64.44% for Computer Engineering, 73.53% for AI-DS) as provisional — the placement cycle for that batch may not have fully concluded at the time the graphic was published.
Is there a median salary figure for DYPCOEI graduates?
No. The college's own graphic publishes an average package (₹5.18 LPA) and a highest package (₹12 LPA), not a median. This page does not calculate one from the named examples in the college's prospectus, since that would not be the college's own stated figure.
What documents should I carry on DYPCOEI admission day?
The college's official checklist: CAP allotment letter, ARC confirmation, SSC and HSC marksheets, HSC leaving certificate, nationality and domicile certificates, MHT-CET or JEE scorecard, and Aadhaar. Reserved-category candidates also need caste certificate, caste validity, non-creamy-layer and income certificates. A gap certificate applies if you had a break after HSC. Carry originals and photocopies of everything.
What happened to the earlier version of this page?
An earlier override draft described a different institution — a private university under a 2019 state act — with fabricated fee figures, and was flagged noindex on 2026-08-17. It has been replaced with the college's own well-sourced base research (DYPCOEI, DTE code EN6834) plus a newly-read AY2026-27 fee table and a placement statistics graphic that did not exist on the official site as of July 2026.
