Should you pick BE CSE at ADCET Ashta?
This course suits students who want an IT services job and are happy to study in a small town for four years.
Pick it if:
You want a job with a big IT company: Capgemini, Infosys and TCS hired from this branch in 2026, and Capgemini made the most offers.
You fear the Open seat is out of reach: the round I close got easier three years running, from 41,730 to 52,002.
You want to live on campus: the college has boys and girls hostels and a mess on campus, so you need not rent a room.
Your family earns up to INR 8 Lakhs: the state pays half the tuition fee for Open, SEBC and EWS students who join through CAP.
Skip it if:
You want a high first salary: the median pay for all branches is INR 3 LPA, and it stayed the same for three NIRF years.
You want internships in a big city: Ashta is a small town, so the placement cell brings most companies here and few internships are nearby.
You are from outside Maharashtra: only 27 of the 180 seats are All India seats, and they go on your JEE Main score.
Counsellor's advice
If your merit number is near 52,002, keep this branch high in your CAP option form. Also send the institute-level form before the CAP round IV allotment, in case the CAP seat does not come.

FAQs on ADCET Ashta BE CSE
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is BE CSE at ADCET worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you want an IT services job and can pay the fee. The full fee without hostel is INR 5.22 Lakhs and the median pay for all branches is INR 3 LPA, so the fee takes about two years of pay to cover. If you plan to use a loan, check the EMI tile in the fee block before you decide.
What job will I get after CSE at ADCET?▾
Most students who get placed join IT services companies. The CSE department lists 70 campus offers for the Class of 2026, and Capgemini made the most of them, with Infosys, TCS and Hexaware also hiring. If you want a product company job, plan for coding contests and off-campus tests from year 3.
Should I take this seat if my merit number is just above the closing number?▾
Yes, keep it in your list, but do not count on it alone. The Open seat closed at 52,002 in CAP round I of 2026, and the close got easier for three years. Put a safer college below it in your option form and use the rank checker above for your category.
Who should not take CSE at ADCET?▾
Skip it if you want a high first salary or internships in a big city. The median pay for all branches is INR 3 LPA, and Ashta is a small town, so the placement cell brings most companies here. If either matters more to you than the fee, look at colleges in Pune or Mumbai.
Is the median pay enough to pay back an education loan?▾
It is tight but possible. The median pay for all branches is INR 3 LPA, and the EMI on the full fee without hostel is shown in the fee block above. Borrow only what you need, apply for a state scholarship first, and keep the hostel cost out of the loan if you can stay at home.
Is ADCET good for higher studies after CSE?▾
It can be, if you plan for it yourself. In 2024-25, 28 students from all branches went on to higher studies. Start preparing for GATE or a master's abroad from year 3, and ask a faculty member for a final year project you can show in your application.
Should I wait a year for a better merit number?▾
Only if you are sure you can improve a lot. The Open close here was 52,002 in 2026, and a year lost is a year of pay lost too. If you already clear this cutoff and like the branch, take the seat now rather than write MHT CET again.
Is Ashta the right town for a CSE student?▾
It is right if you want a quiet campus and do not mind travel for internships. Ashta is a small town in Sangli district, so few companies sit close by. The college has its own hostels on the 25-acre campus, so you do not need to rent a room in town.
How do I get admission to BE CSE at ADCET?▾
Write MHT CET, register for CAP on the State CET Cell portal and list this branch in your option form. If CAP gives you the seat, accept it online and report to the college with your papers and the fee. You can also apply for the 36 institute-level seats before the last CAP allotment.
What is the full fee for BE CSE at ADCET?▾
The full 4-year fee is INR 5.22 Lakhs without hostel at the 2026-27 FRA rate. With a hostel room it comes to INR 6.42 Lakhs, and the mess is extra. The fee block above shows both totals and what each part costs.
Can I get the tuition fee waived?▾
Yes, if your family income is low enough. A TFWS seat waives the tuition fee if your family earns up to INR 8 Lakhs a year, and CAP adds 9 such seats for this branch. Fill the TFWS choice code in your option form and keep your income certificate ready.
Does ADCET give a hostel to first-year students?▾
Yes, the college has its own hostels on campus. The boys hostel has 450 places and the girls hostel has 300, and three or four students share a room. Ask for a room at the time you report, because places fill on a first-come basis.
The reviewer gained admission to Annasaheb Dange College of Engineering and Technology for Computer Science and Engineering through the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MH-CET). The faculty at ADCET are well-qualified, mostly holding MTech and Ph.D. degrees, and provide research-oriented education with effective teaching methods. The college charges a total fee of 113,000 INR for open category students, while SC students pay 26,000 INR due to government scholarships. ADCET's placement system is robust, mainly in the IT sector, with companies like Infosys, IBM, and TCS.
In 2023, only 150 students, mostly from Computer Science, were placed due to fewer companies visiting amidst a recession, with an average salary package of 4.5 LPA and an overall placement rate of 70-80%. Internships are mandatory by the 8th semester, with limited opportunities available in companies such as TCS and Infosys. The college provides various scholarships based on criteria like income and caste, significantly reducing tuition costs. For instance, EBC students pay 50,000 INR annually, while other categories like SC/ST and OBC have reduced fees accordingly.
Tuition fees are subject to a 5-10% annual increase, but scholarships and campus employment help manage costs.
