Hi dear candidate,

Can you please specify about which university you are searching for fees details so that we can help you further.

I get 16 percentile mht cet I want to take admission in aids Pune.

Hi,

With 16 percentile in MHT CET, it is very tough to get admission in top colleges in Pune for AI & Data Science (AIDS), as the cut-off for this branch is usually very high.

However, you may still get admission in low-ranked private engineering colleges through management quota or institute-level vacant seats.

Some colleges in Pune offering AI & DS are:

1. MIT World Peace University, Pune

2. DY Patil Institute of Technology, Pimpri

3. Sinhgad College of Engineering, Vadgaon

4. PCCOE, Pimpri

5. JSPM’s Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering

All the best!

i got a addmission through jee main rank in cap ( mht -cet ) means through all india seat. my cast ij nt-c so which cast fess i need to pay open or nt-c

Hello,

Since you got admission through JEE Main rank (All India quota) , your admission is considered under the open/general category , not the state reservation (NT-C) category.

So, you need to pay the Open/General category fees , not the NT-C fees.

Hope it helps !
