MIT-WPU organises its academic offerings across 14 specialised schools, including the School of Engineering, School of Law, School of Management, School of Health Sciences and Technology, and School of Economics, at its Kothrud, Pune campus.
Admission to most undergraduate and postgraduate programmes runs through MIT-WPU's own entrance test, the MIT-WPU CET (also referred to as MEET), a 100-mark computer-based test paired with a 50-mark personal interaction round. Law admission additionally accepts CLAT or MH-CET-LAW scores alongside the mandatory personal interaction. A specific external-score mechanism for the flagship B.Tech route beyond the general CET could not be confirmed against a reliably accessible official page during this research and is not detailed here.
