D Y Patil University, Ambi, Pune

. Basic Information

D Y Patil University, Pune is a State Private University established under the Government of Maharashtra Act No. VI of 2019 and recognized by the UGC. The university is based at Ambi, Talegaon Dabhade, on the Pune–Mumbai corridor.

It is important not to confuse this university with D Y Patil International University, Pune, which is a separate State Private University located at Akurdi. The Maharashtra Department of Higher and Technical Education lists both as separate universities.

2. Location & Campus

D Y Patil University is situated at Ambi, Talegaon Dabhade, Pune, at Survey Nos. 124 and 126, MIDC Road. The location places the university in the developing educational and industrial belt between Pune and Talegaon.

The university describes its Ambi campus as a residential campus with a green environment, modern academic buildings, laboratories, studios, workshops, libraries, conference facilities and amphitheatres. It also has a multi-sports stadium and student accommodation with views of the surrounding hills.

The campus has evolved from the earlier D Y Patil Technical Campus ecosystem into a university offering programmes across engineering, architecture, design, management, law, pharmacy and hospitality-related disciplines.

3. Admission Information

D Y Patil University Pune is currently accepting applications for the 2026–27 academic year. The university’s official admission portal provides programme-wise application options and admission information.

The general admission process involves:

• Online application
• Selection of the desired school and programme
• Submission of academic and identity documents
• Verification of eligibility
• Programme-specific entrance/selection requirements wherever applicable
• Merit/selection process
• Payment of applicable fees
• Final admission and document verification

Admission requirements differ considerably between programmes. For example, engineering, architecture, pharmacy, law and management programmes can have different qualifying examinations and regulatory requirements.

For students using Admission Katta, programme-level admission information should therefore be maintained separately rather than giving one common entrance examination for the entire university.

The university’s current website lists admissions for B.Arch, B.Des, B.Tech, BBA, BCA, BBA LLB, LLB, B.Pharm, D.Pharm, MBA, MCA, M.Arch, M.Des, M.Tech and Ph.D. programmes.

9. Affiliated Colleges / Student Life / Career Opportunities

Affiliated Colleges

D Y Patil University, Pune should not be treated as a conventional affiliating university with hundreds of independently affiliated colleges.

The university operates through its own schools and academic units. For Admission Katta, it is better to structure the database as:

D Y Patil University Pune → School → Programme → Specialisation → Eligibility → Entrance → Fees → Intake → Admission → Facilities → Placement

This is particularly important because the older D Y Patil Technical Campus institutions and the current university should not automatically be treated as separate affiliated colleges.

Student Life

The residential Ambi campus offers students an environment combining academics, sports, accommodation and extracurricular activities. Facilities include sports infrastructure, student accommodation, recreation spaces, libraries, workshops and laboratories.

Career Opportunities

The university promotes industry interaction, practical learning and professional development across its academic schools. Engineering students have access to laboratories and workshops, while management, hospitality, design, law and pharmacy students follow discipline-specific academic and practical learning.

For Admission Katta, placement data should be maintained separately for each programme/school. Current official pages display programme intakes and general placement-related information, but a consolidated current university-wide placement percentage or package figure was not sufficiently established from the official sources reviewed, so it should not be presented as a hard number.
