Matoshri College of Engineering & Research Centre (MCOERC), Nashik, admits students to its undergraduate (B.E./B.Tech) and postgraduate (M.E./M.Tech/MCA) programs primarily through centralized admission processes governed by the State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra. As an autonomous institution, it maintains strict adherence to merit-based allotment for both government and management quota seats.

Admission Criteria

Admissions at MCOERC are conducted via the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) based on scores from state and national-level entrance examinations.

• Eligibility (B.E./B.Tech): * Candidates must have passed the 10+2 examination (HSC) with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects, along with Chemistry, Biotechnology, Biology, or a Technical/Vocational subject.

  • A minimum aggregate of 45% (40% for reserved categories and PwD candidates from Maharashtra State) is required.

  • Entrance Exams: Valid scores in MHT-CET (Maharashtra Common Entrance Test) or JEE Main are mandatory.

• Direct Second Year (DSE): Candidates with a Diploma in Engineering & Technology or a B.Sc. degree (with Mathematics at the 10+2 level) are eligible with a minimum of 45% aggregate (40% for reserved categories).

• Postgraduate Admissions: * M.E./M.Tech: Admission is based on a valid GATE score.

  • MCA: Admission is based on the MAH MCA CET score.

Previous Year Cut-Off Trends (B.E./B.Tech)

Cut-offs at MCOERC are expressed in percentiles (for MHT-CET) or ranks (for JEE Main). These figures fluctuate annually based on seat intake, the relative popularity of branches (e.g., Computer Engineering, AI & Data Science), and the overall performance of the applicant pool.

The following table provides a general perspective of closing percentiles for B.E. programs (MHT-CET General category, Home State):

Note: The percentile range for JEE Main (All India Quota) for B.E. programs often sees significant variance due to the smaller pool of applicants using JEE ranks for state-level admissions. Ranks have historically fluctuated between 200,000 and 400,000+ depending on the specialization.

Exam-Wise and Category-Wise Trends

• Exam-Wise: * MHT-CET: This is the primary gateway for the vast majority of government-allotted seats in Maharashtra.

  • JEE Main: Accepted for All India Quota seats and as an alternative to MHT-CET for Maharashtra State candidates.

  • MAH MCA CET: The definitive requirement for MCA admissions.

• Category-Wise Trends: * Open (General) Category: Generally sets the highest benchmarks (highest percentiles).

  • Reserved Categories (SC, ST, OBC, NT, EWS): These categories benefit from the state’s reservation policy, which includes both quota-based seat allocation and cut-off relaxation. Closing percentiles for reserved categories are typically lower than those for the Open category, ensuring inclusive access.

  • Round-Wise Allotment: Cut-offs are generally higher (more competitive) in the first round of CAP counseling and tend to decrease (lower percentiles) in subsequent rounds (Round 3 or 4) as seats are filled.

Important Note for Applicants

1. CAP Process: Students must register on the official State CET Cell website to participate in the Centralized Admission Process (CAP).

2. Verification: Always cross-verify current-year rank lists and seat matrix announcements on the official portal, as shifts in branch demand or autonomous status can influence closing percentiles.

3. Documentation: Keep all essential documents—including CET scorecards, 10th/12th mark sheets, Caste Validity, and Non-Creamy Layer certificates—ready for the document verification stage.

Disclaimer: The cut-off percentiles provided are indicative based on historical trends and institutional data. Actual admission cut-offs for the 2026 academic year may vary based on the official notification released by the DTE/CET Cell.
