Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj University, Panvel, is one of the new private colleges in Maharashtra which have moderate, flexible and student friendly cut-off structure. The admissions are organized in a way that they provide a balance between the academic quality and inclusivity, thus CSMU is a feasible choice to students who can fit the minimum requirements of eligibility and apply in time.
CSMU is not working on stiff cut-off slabs. Rather, cut-offs are different every year depending on various academic and institutional criteria including the number of applicants, performance on entrance exams, availability of seats and demand of the program. In the case of engineering courses, the performance and entrance exam scores (where necessary) of Class 12 are important whereas academic merit is important in the case of non-technical and professional courses.
| B.Tech Specialization | Estimated Cut-Off |
|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) | 65-70% (10+2) / JEE Main 60-65% |
| CSE (AI and Data Science) | 63-68% / JEE Main 58-63% |
| IT (Information Technology) | 60-65% / JEE Main 55-60% |
| Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) | 55-60% / JEE Main 50-55% |
| Mechanical Engineering | 50-55% / JEE Main 45-50% |
| Civil Engineering | 50% and above / JEE Main 45% |
| Electrical Engineering | 50-55% / JEE Main 45-50% |
These ranges are estimative and can change a little by little between counselling rounds and seat availability.
