Overview
Maharashtra's tracked list runs private- and deemed-university heavy — those two types together outnumber state, IIT, NIT and every other institute type combined in our Maharashtra data. IIT Bombay anchors the NIRF-ranked set at #3 nationally, with Institute of Chemical Technology, Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology Nagpur, Symbiosis International and COEP Technological University following.
Admissions split three ways here: JoSAA for IIT Bombay, VNIT Nagpur and Maharashtra's GFTIs/IIITs; the state CET system for Maharashtra's state universities; and independent entrance exams for most private and deemed institutes. We label each institute's pathway individually rather than assuming state CET applies everywhere.

FAQ
- Is every engineering college in Maharashtra listed here?
- No — we only list institutes we can identify from official registries and verify with at least one citable source. If a real institute is missing, it means we haven't sourced it yet, not that it's deliberately excluded.
- Where do the NIRF ranks on this page come from?
- From nirfindia.org's Engineering category. We don't compute or estimate our own rank — where an institute doesn't have a published NIRF Engineering rank, this page shows no rank rather than a guess.
- Why are private and deemed universities such a large share of Maharashtra's list?
- Maharashtra has one of the largest private/deemed higher-education sectors we track nationally — that's reflected directly in the type-mix chart above from live data, not adjusted or curated by Knwdle.
- Does a state CET cutoff appear for every Maharashtra institute?
- No — CET and JoSAA cutoffs only appear where we've sourced that specific institute's cutoff data. Many private and deemed institutes here admit through their own exam instead, and we don't estimate a CET-equivalent rank for those.

Frequently asked questions
Answers use counts from this page's live institute list.
- How many institutes appear for Maharashtra?
- 24 institutes currently match this page’s filter. 6 of them have a numeric NIRF Engineering rank in our database.
- Is “best” based on editorial opinion?
- No. Where we sort or headline by rank, the order follows published NIRF Engineering ranks (nirfindia.org). Unranked institutes are not given a fabricated Knwdle rank.
- What is Graduation Outcomes (GO)?
- GO is an NIRF sub-score computed independently of self-reported placement packages. None of the institutes on this page currently have a GO value stored.
- Can I filter by institute type in Maharashtra?
- Yes — use the chips above the list. Types present here: PRIVATE (22), IIT (1), NIT (1).
What we publish — and what we don't
Included when sourced
- NIRF Engineering ranks & sub-scores (nirfindia.org)
- JoSAA closing ranks already in our database
- Programmes from AICTE EOA / institute official catalogues
- Fees & admissions copy only from the institute's own site
- Campus images from Wikimedia Commons or official media
Deliberately excluded
- Star reviews and self-reported placement packages
- Fees estimated or copied from aggregator directories
- Facts that appear only on compiled third-party college directories
NIRF Graduation Outcomes (GO) is the honest substitute for placement-intent browsing — an independent metric, not a package figure.
