Each phase has its own CET sitting and counselling round. Seats fill on a phase-by-phase basis, so earlier phases get the widest branch and campus choice.
Which entrance exams does MIT-WPU accept in 2026?
MIT-WPU is flexible on which entrance exam you use — it accepts any one of the following for most UG admissions:
- MIT-WPU CET — the university's own Computer-Based Test, conducted in multiple phases
- JEE Main 2026 — accepted score for BTech (both Jan and April sessions)
- MHT-CET 2026 — Maharashtra state CET, accepted for engineering and design
- PERA CET — the Maharashtra private engineering consortium test, accepted for BTech
- NEET-UG 2026 — accepted for Bio Engineering and certain integrated programs
Out-of-Maharashtra-state (OMS) candidates targeting Management Quota seats must have a valid All-India Rank in JEE Main 2026 even when applying directly to the management — that's an MIT-WPU eligibility rule for OMS management quota.

MIT-WPU BTech fee structure 2026
| Program | Annual tuition (regular) | Total 4-year tuition |
|---|---|---|
| BTech CSE — flagship | ₹3.5 – 4.0 L | ₹14 – 16 L |
| BTech CSE (AI/ML, Data Science, Cyber) | ₹3.7 – 4.0 L | ₹14.8 – 16 L |
| BTech ECE / EEE | ₹2.5 – 3.0 L | ₹10 – 12 L |
| BTech Mechanical / Civil / Chemical | ₹1.9 – 2.4 L | ₹7.65 – 9.6 L |
| BTech Bio Engineering / Petroleum | ₹2.2 – 2.8 L | ₹8.8 – 11.2 L |
| BBA / BBA-MBA Integrated | ₹3.0 – 4.5 L | ₹12 – 18 L (3-yr UG) |
| B.Des (Product / Communication / UX) | ₹3.5 – 4.5 L | ₹14 – 18 L |
These are tuition only. Add roughly ₹1.4–1.8 L/year for hostel + mess, plus a one-time caution + registration of ~₹30–50k. So a realistic 4-year all-in cost for BTech CSE at MIT-WPU lands in the ₹20–24 L range.
Direct admission at MIT-WPU — the management quota route
If you've missed the regular CET form, your JEE/MHT-CET score is on the lower side, or you simply want to lock a flagship branch like CSE-AIML without depending on counselling cutoffs — the Management Quota is the practical route. Here's how it actually works at MIT-WPU:
- Eligibility — class 12 with PCM and minimum 50% aggregate (PCM), plus a valid JEE Main / MHT-CET / PERA CET score (mandatory even for management quota at MIT-WPU)
- Quota share — roughly 15–20% of total intake per branch is reserved for management quota seats
- Fees — typically 1.5× to 2× the regular tuition for the chosen branch, paid in 3 instalments via Demand Draft to Dr Vishwanath Karad MIT World Peace University
- Application route — directly to the MIT-WPU Management Office (or via a verified counsellor like SG); separate from the regular CET portal
- Documents needed — Class 10/12 marksheets, JEE/MHT-CET scorecard, ID proof, passport-size photos, demand draft for first instalment
- Timing — the management quota window typically stays open longer than the regular CET window (often into late July and even early August for vacant seats)
Why management quota fees vary by branch
CS-AIML and Data Science management seats command a premium because demand is highest. Mechanical, Civil and Petroleum management seats are often priced close to regular tuition because they have more open inventory.
