Rajiv Gandhi College of Engineering, Parner

Rajiv Gandhi College of Engineering (RGCOE), Parner, is among the newly constituted educational institutions that has provided all engineering programs at undergraduate and diploma levels. The admission process is very rigidly framed mainly around the score obtained in state-level and national-level entrance examination. The institution is affiliated with Savitribai Phule Pune University and has approval from the AICTE. The admission process for Rajiv Gandhi College of Engineering generally runs parallel to the state academic calendar in Maharashtra; it usually starts sometime in the months after the announcement of entrance examination results. Prospective students for admission to the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) programs could present either their score of the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MHT CET) or that of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main).

This dual acceptance is meant to bring flexibility for the state-level and national-level aspirants. The eligibility for admission to the BE program calls for successful completion of 10+ 2 (Higher Secondary) education with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as the subjects in core group.  MHT CET is usually conducted every year between April and May. JEE Main is conducted a few times a year, with sessions usually in January and then in April.
