Hi,

With a 68th percentile in MHT CET under the Open category, you do have chances of getting admission into Civil Engineering in some good colleges in Pune, but top-tier colleges might be difficult to get at this percentile.

First, you have to understand how percentile works. A 68th percentile means your score is better than 68% of the students who appeared for the exam. Your exact rank will be calculated out of the total number of test takers, and cutoffs are released in ranks, not percentiles. In Pune, many private and semi-government colleges offer Civil Engineering, and the cutoffs vary based on the Institute type, whether it's an autonomous/government/private ,College reputation, and Previous year trends.

At 68 percentile, you can get a chance in the following types of colleges: Private colleges or recently established institutes, some autonomous colleges’ lower branches, or less preferred rounds, through Management quota seats as their fees may be higher.

Some Pune colleges where you can try for Civil Engineering:

D.Y. Patil Institute of Engineering & Technology, Pimpri

Sinhgad College of Engineering later rounds or institute-level seats

Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering research

Jayawantrao Sawant College of Engineering

Zeal College of Engineering and Research

You may not get top choices like COEP, VIT Pune, or MIT-WPU at this percentile, but wait for CAP Round 2 or 3, and also explore institute-level seats and counselling vacancy rounds.

If you’re flexible about branch or college, you can still get a decent civil engineering seat. You should also apply early in the counselling rounds to improve your chances.

Best of luck with your admission process!

Your rank in POLYCET is 26259 under MPC quota in Telangana. Civil engineering seat in top government polytechnic college in Hyderabad may not be possible at that rank. But still you can get admission in other government polytechnic colleges around Hyderabad such as Medak, Nalgonda, Mahbubnagar or Hyderabad outskirts. These colleges offer civil branch under state counselling, have good labs and lower fees, placement support and industry linkage is available in some colleges.

With a CRL rank of 117269 and an OBC-NCL rank of 38117, you have a fair chance of getting Civil Engineering at IET Lucknow, especially if you are applying under the home state quota for Uttar Pradesh. In recent years, the closing OBC-NCL ranks for Civil Engineering at IET Lucknow have been higher than your current rank, often going beyond 80,000 depending on the year and round of counselling. Since you are also a female candidate from the home state, this could improve your chances slightly due to the female category reservations and home state advantage.

Hello,

Indeed, you are eligible to apply for direct second-year (lateral entry) admission to B.Tech Civil Engineering provided you satisfy the requirements. Generally, applicants should possess a 3-year diploma in Civil or a similar engineering field from an AICTE-recognized institution, achieving a minimum of 45–60% overall marks (45% for candidates from reserved categories).

Admission occurs via state-level lateral entry entrance examinations, including AP ECET (Andhra Pradesh), TS ECET (Telangana), JELET (West Bengal), or LEET at some universities. After achieving a qualifying rank, seats are distributed via counselling conducted by the appropriate state authority, usually including government, aided, and private colleges that reserve up to 10–20% of seats for lateral entry in each branch.

Hope this helps. All the best!

The approximate fee for Government Polytechnic Colleges ranges between Rs.2,000 to Rs.8,000 per year. You can confirm exact fees by visiting the college or official website.

Hello,

If your rank is 204 (and you are talking about JEECUP counselling ), then you have a good chance of getting a Civil Engineering seat in Basti Government Polytechnic.

However, the exact allotment depends on factors like your category, seat availability, and round-wise cut-off.

Usually, if seats are available, you may get it in the 1st or 2nd round. If not, there are chances in the 3rd round too.

Make sure to lock your choices properly and keep Basti at a higher priority.

Hope it helps !

For civil engineering, GMR Institute of Technology (GMRIT) is generally considered the better option over Aditya University. GMRIT has a stronger reputation, better infrastructure, and a more established track record in placements and industry connections. While Aditya University may have newer facilities, GMRIT's long-standing presence and industry links may offer more practical experience and better placement opportunities.

Lets compare

Reputation and Established Presence:

GMRIT has a longer history and a more established reputation in the field of civil engineering.

Infrastructure:

GMRIT is known for its robust infrastructure, including well-equipped labs, libraries, and sports facilities.

Placements:

GMRIT has a strong placement record, with a significant percentage of students getting placed in reputable companies.

Industry Connections:

GMRIT has strong connections with the industry, which can be beneficial for internships and job placements.

Campus Life:
