Last Updated on October 5, 2023 by Sidharth PS

Have you passed 12th Science? Are you an Engineering aspirant from Maharashtra? If yes, this article will be of help to you. Here, I’ve listed down some of the best Engineering colleges in Maharashtra.

How’s this article of help to me, you may ask. Well, your search for the best Engineering college will end here! I’ve listed the top colleges based on parameters such as – fees, rating & reputation, infrastructure, quality of faculty, and other amenities.

For your ease, I’ve created a district-wise list of colleges. Colleges belonging to each major district and city in Maharashtra have been marked and listed separately. This list will help you find Engineering colleges near your city or district!   Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Aurangabad – I’ve covered all major districts and cities! Come, let us find out some basic details about engineering education in Maharashtra.

The science stream is a highly competitive group. Engineering is a very popular choice among Science stream students in Maharashtra. The competition for seats in reputed colleges is very high!   These are the main engineering programs available in Maharashtra –

• Diploma in Engineering programs
• B.E./B.Tech. (Bachelor’s Degree) programs
• M.E./M.Tech. (Master’s Degree) programs
• PG Diploma (Engineering) programs
• Doctoral Degree programs

The above list consists of undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral degree courses. 12th Science stream students have access to a Diploma and B.E. or B.Tech. programs.

M.E. or M.Tech. can be pursued after completing relevant B.E. or B.Tech. program. The same requirement applies in the case of PG Diploma programs.

Candidates who have completed relevant Master’s or PG Diploma programs are eligible to pursue Doctoral Degree programs.

Diploma in Engineering programs are 3 years long. B.E./B.Tech. programs are 4 years long. Most of the B.E./B.Tech. programs are meant for PCM (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) group students. Few B.E./B.Tech. programs are open for PCB (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology) group students too!

Let us talk about the meat of the matter now – Engineering Colleges in Maharashtra! There are two main types of Engineering colleges here. They are –

1. Government Engineering Colleges
2. SF (Self Financed) Engineering Colleges

Government Colleges can further be classified into State Government colleges and Central Government colleges. They are operated and maintained by the Government. The Government bears most of the expenses. Thus, it is able to provide subsidized education to its students!

Self-financed (Private) Colleges, on the other hand, are managed and maintained by Private Boards and Trusts. Due to this factor, they charge relatively higher fees than their Public sector counterparts.

Come, and let us check out the list of top 10 engineering colleges in Maharashtra, India. In the next section, you will find the following details – names of top 10 engineering colleges, their address, affiliation details, and number of seats available in each college.
