College of Engineering, Trivandrum Computer Application and IT Courses & Fees 2025

If you scored 42 percentile in mht cet getting in top government colleges like coep or vjiti is not possible because their cutoffs are bery high however you get still het admission in some private engineering colleges or self finances institutes especially in rural or semi urban areas of Maharashtra these colleges usually have lower cutoffs and may offer you branches like civil , mechanical quota in average private colleges where the cutoff is more flexible but the fees might be higher

Hi! No worries even if you haven't appeared for JEE or MHT-CET . There are still plenty of options available to apply for engineering or other professional courses in India.

1. Direct Admission in Private Colleges :

Many private engineering colleges and universities in Maharashtra and across India offer direct admission under the management quota or institutional level quota. These usually don't require JEE or CET scores, but eligibility is based on Class 12 marks (especially PCM – Physics, Chemistry, Maths). Some well-known private universities also offer their own entrance tests.

2. CUET (Common University Entrance Test) :

If you wants to pursue courses in central universities or private ones accepting CUET, this is a great alternative. CUET scores are accepted for B.Sc., BBA, BA, BCA, and even some engineering programs in private institutes.

3. Other State-Level Exams / College Specific Tests :

If eligible, you can appear for other state entrance exams like COMEDK (Karnataka), VITEEE (VIT University), SRMJEEE (SRM University), or UPES, which are accepted by various reputed universities and don’t require MHT-CET or JEE.

4. Diploma to Degree (Lateral Entry) :

If you has done or plans to do a polytechnic diploma, they can join BTech in the second year via lateral entry without needing JEE/CET.(Not offered by every college)

Finally, Always visit the official websites of the colleges you're interested in, as each may have its own admission guidelines and deadlines.

Wishing you a bright academic future ahead!

Hello,

Achieving an 83 percentile in MHT CET (PCB group) makes securing a government engineering college seat in Maharashtra difficult, yet not entirely infeasible, depending on your category and the seat availability in less competitive programs.

As you are applying via the PCB stream, your opportunities are usually more restricted compared to those who apply with the PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) group, since engineering admissions mainly rely on PCM scores. Nonetheless, certain engineering programs linked to biotechnology or interdisciplinary studies may take PCB scores into account.

If you are part of a reserved category (such as SC/ST/OBC) or possess state domicile, your opportunities enhance marginally in the initial rounds of counselling. However, many leading government engineering institutions such as COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, or ICT Mumbai necessitate significantly higher scores and eligibility in the PCM stream.

With an 83 percentile in PCB, your optimal opportunities would be at private engineering colleges or self-financed institutions in Maharashtra through the management quota or particular biology-related fields, if available.

Hope this helps. All the best!
