Should you pick B.E. Electrical Engineering at ADCET Ashta?
This course suits students who want a core electrical job in industry and are fine with a small-town campus.
Pick it if:
You want a core electrical job: Schaeffler India gave 36 of the 105 campus offers to this branch, and Sedmac Mechatronics gave 20.
Your merit number is near 72,125: most seats here are State Level CAP seats, so your MHT CET merit alone decides the seat.
You want to study electric vehicles: the department offers honours and minor courses in e-mobility and control engineering on top of the core degree.
You want the fee back fast: at the median pay of INR 3 LPA, the full fee comes back in about two working years.
Skip it if:
You hope the close gets easier: the Open close got tougher three years in a row, from 78,378 to 72,125, so do not expect that.
You want a software job: only one of the 105 Electrical campus offers in 2026 came from an IT company.
You want a course with little lab work: the department has fourteen labs, and every student must do an internship or industrial training.
You plan to wait for the last round: this branch had no CAP seat left after Round IV in 2026, so add it in Round I.
Counsellor's advice
If your merit number is near 72,125 and you want a core job, freeze this seat in Round I. If you want software work, keep a computer branch above it.

In short
RIT Rajaramnagar places more of its batch at a higher median, but it costs INR 1.50 Lakhs more and its closing rank is much tougher. If your merit number clears RIT, list it above ADCET Ashta; if not, ADCET Ashta is the seat to aim for.
In short
KIT Kolhapur costs less and pays a higher median with the same 120 seats, but its closing rank is about 36,573 places tougher. If your merit number clears KIT, put it first; if it misses, keep ADCET Ashta high in your options.
In short
DKTE Ichalkaranji costs INR 20,000 more, closed about 18,427 places tougher and has half the seats. If your merit number clears both, visit both Electrical departments before you fill options; if it clears only ADCET Ashta, take this seat.
In short
TKIET Warananagar is easier to get, costs INR 50,000 less and placed a bigger share at a slightly higher median. If your merit number misses ADCET Ashta, list TKIET Warananagar right below it as the backup.

FAQs on ADCET Ashta B.E. Electrical Engineering
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is B.E. Electrical Engineering at ADCET Ashta worth the fee?▾
Yes, for a student who wants a core job and gets the seat on a State merit number. The full fee without hostel is INR 5.22 Lakhs, and the median pay across all B.Tech branches was INR 3 LPA, so the fee comes back in about two working years. If you take a loan, check the EMI tile in the fee block before you decide.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get core jobs in car-parts, automation and power companies. In the Class of 2026, Schaeffler India gave 36 of the 105 Electrical campus offers, and Sedmac Mechatronics, Patil Automation and Belries hired many of the rest. If you want a software job, this branch gave only one such offer, so think again.
Should I take this seat if my merit number is close to the Round I close?▾
Yes, and do it in Round I. The Open close was 72,125 in Round I of 2026 and 48,964 in Round IV, so later rounds got tougher, not easier. Put this choice code high in your Round I options and freeze the seat if you get it.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you want a software job or a big-city campus. Only one of the 105 Electrical campus offers in 2026 came from an IT company, and the campus is in Ashta, a small town in Sangli district. If either matters more to you than a core job, look at a computer branch or a college in a city.
Is Electrical better than a computer branch at ADCET for me?▾
Pick Electrical if you want to work with machines, power and automation. Pick a computer branch if you want software work. The Electrical campus offers in 2026 came mostly from core companies like Schaeffler India, so choose by the job you want, not by the cutoff alone.
Is this course good for higher studies?▾
Yes, if you plan for it early. The department offers honours and minor courses in e-mobility and control engineering and a minor in sustainable energy. These help when you apply for an M.Tech or a master's degree abroad. Ask the department about the honours track and a research project in your first two years.
Should I wait a year for a better MHT CET score?▾
Only if you can raise your percentile by a lot. The Open close got tougher three years in a row, from 78,378 in 2024 to 72,125 in 2026. A small gain may not help next year, so if you clear the close now, take the seat.
Will I get placed from this branch?▾
Most likely, if you keep up your marks. 73% of all B.Tech graduates in the Class of 2025 were placed, and 105 Electrical students got campus offers in 2026. Join the placement training early and keep your marks above the limit each company sets.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Write MHT CET PCM and register for CAP with the State CET Cell. Add choice code 0628329310 in your options. If you get the seat, accept it and report at ADCET with your papers in the given days, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 4-year fee is INR 5.22 Lakhs without hostel at the 2026-27 rate. With the hostel room at the top of its range it comes to INR 6.42 Lakhs. The fee block above shows both totals, and the toggle there adds the hostel room.
Can I get a scholarship for this course?▾
Yes, if your category and family income fit a state scheme. General and EWS students with income up to INR 8 Lakhs can get half the tuition fee back, and SC or ST students with income up to INR 2.5 Lakhs can get the full fee. Use the scholarship calculator above and apply on MahaDBT.
Is the hostel open to first-year students?▾
Yes, the college has a boys hostel for 450 students and a girls hostel for 300 on campus. Rooms come with a table, chair and bedding. Ask the hostel office early, because every branch shares these rooms.
Admission to Annasaheb Dange College of Engineering and Technology (ADCET) is managed through the Maharashtra State's CAP rounds, using MHT-CET scores and 12th-grade marks. The admission process is efficient, taking about 1.5 hours online, and requires documentation like SSC, HSC mark sheets, and Aadhar Card. Faculty at ADCET are highly qualified, with many holding PhDs, and they provide strong mentorship, supporting roughly 10 students each. The first-year engineering fee is around Rs.
110,000, including tuition of approximately Rs. 80,000. Scholarships can reduce fees to about Rs. 62,000, with variations based on caste. Students from Shivaji University pay Rs. 90,000, while autonomous students pay around Rs. 1,05,000, with fees broken down into various components including tuition and development fees. The college offers a range of scholarships, with SC, ST, NT, and TFWS students receiving full tuition concessions, and EBC and OBC students getting 50% off.
Specific scholarships are available for female, handicapped, and minority students, and the college supports education loans through its trust bank. Placement opportunities are strong, especially in IT companies, with about 70-75% of students securing jobs. Major recruiters include TCS, Infosys, Capgemini, and Wipro, with the highest salary package reaching 7.5 lakh and an average of 3.6 lakh. Students become eligible for placements in the 7th semester, and internship opportunities are available, sometimes offering stipends between 5,000 and 10,000 INR.
The college's placement cell works with industries to enhance internship prospects.
