Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering Admissions 2026-27 Dates, Appilcation Form, Process & Fee

Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering (FRCRCE) in Mumbai offers B.Tech admissions primarily through the Maharashtra Centralised Admission Process (CAP) based on MHT CET or JEE Main scores. The process emphasizes merit for Maharashtra state candidates, with reservations for categories like backward classes and minorities, as the college is a Christian minority institution.

Admission Process

Admissions to FRCRCE's B.Tech programs follow the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Maharashtra guidelines via CAP rounds. Candidates register on the DTE portal (mahacet.org or fe2026.mahacet.org), upload documents, and select preferences, including FRCRCE (DTE code: 3184). Seats are allotted based on MHT CET/JEE Main ranks, with 85% reserved for Maharashtra candidates via MHT CET and 15% for All India seats via JEE Main; 80% seats fill through CAP, 20% via institute-level merit.

Direct Second Year (lateral entry) admissions for diploma holders occur separately based on diploma merit, without entrance exams. Post-CAP vacant seats are filled at the institute level by merit, requiring candidate presence, fee payment (DD), and originals. No agents or NRI/management quotas beyond DTE rules; beware of touts.

For M.Tech, admissions use GATE scores via CAP, with 51% minority quota; PhD follows University of Mumbai norms.

Eligibility Criteria

B.Tech eligibility requires passing HSC (10+2) with Physics, Mathematics, and one of Chemistry/Biology/Biotechnology/Technical Vocational subject, securing at least 45% aggregate marks (40% for reserved/PWD Maharashtra candidates). Candidates must have valid MHT CET or JEE Main scores; Maharashtra domicile preferred for state quota.

Lateral entry (DSE) needs a 3-year/2-year AICTE-approved diploma in Engineering/Technology with 45% aggregate (40% reserved). M.Tech requires a relevant B.E./B.Tech with 50% marks (45% reserved) and a valid GATE score.
