It's a Question of your Career!

Hey Eshita! Since you have an All India Rank (AIR) of 26,000 in SC category, there is a very good likelihood of you being allotted a seat in a government medical college, both in the All India Quota and in the Punjab State Quota. The state quota cut offs tend to be slightly lower (easier) than all India; therefore your rank is definitely competitive.

Ensure that you take part in two rounds of counselling and enroll at your favorite colleges. Watch out official announcements and counselling schedule.

OBC 80 percentile in cet what is cut off for this college

When you want to do Civil Engineering and yet you have not done so well in Polytechnic, you do not need to lose it all:

lateral btech

In case you have made a 3 year Polytechnic Diploma, you may seek Lateral Entry to the B.Tech Civil Engineering second year.

Even when your marks are low, few private colleges may admit you in management quota or by direct admission.

Chances in government colleges are normally more difficult; it is your scores in the diploma levels.

2. Admission in Private Colleges.

There are other engineering colleges which provide admission to you which is based on the 12 th marks or even on the diploma marks.

They could be lesser cut-offs with relaxed requirements as compared to government colleges.

3. Better Your Diploma Grades

Work on your grades or related skills/certifications or work on any aspects that can enhance your profile to get into the admission process.

In most colleges, fees can either be paid in full or in installments,this depends on the institution’s rules. Some colleges allow semester-wise or yearly installment payments, especially for long-term courses like engineering, medical, or design. Others may ask for full payment at the start of the academic year.

To know for sure, check your college's official fee structure or contact the admission office directly. They’ll tell you whether installment payment is allowed and what the deadlines are.

If your marks in polytechnic are low but you still want to do a Civil Engineering course, don’t worry,you still have options. If you’ve completed your diploma, you can try for direct admission into the 2nd year of B.Tech (this is called lateral entry). Most states allow this through special counselling for diploma students. Even if your marks are low, you might still get a seat depending on your category and the college.

If you want to start B.Tech from 1st year, you can give exams like JEE Main or your state’s CET exam. Some private colleges also give direct admission based on diploma marks or through management quota,but the fees might be higher.

You should check if your state allows lateral entry with your marks. If not eligible for government colleges, try for private ones. Or prepare for an entrance exam if you want to start from 1st year.

With 90% in your diploma in Computer Science, you have strong potential for lateral entry (direct into the 2nd year) of B.Tech in Computer Engineering from polytechnic at many top colleges in Mumbai.

To be eligible for lateral entry you usually need at least 50% in diploma (45% for reserved categories), so your 90% is well above that.

Here are some good colleges in Mumbai offering lateral B.Tech in Computer Engineering:

VJTI (Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute)
SPIT (Sardar Patel Institute of Technology)
TCET (Thakur College of Engineering & Technology)
PVPP (Padmashree Vasantdada Patil Polytechnic)
KJ Somaiya School of Engineering
Fr. CRCE (Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering)

In top colleges like VJTI, closing merit for computer engineering is often in the 90+ percentile range, but your marks are competitive.

For mid-tier colleges like SPIT or TCET, closing percentiles range from 90 to 96 percentile. With your high diploma marks, you have a good chance, especially in the direct second-year DSE (Diploma to Second Year Engineering) admission process.

The Maharashtra CAP counseling portal (for 2nd-year admissions) will open later this year. During counseling you can list these colleges in your choices based on your preference. After seat allotment, you’ll need to verify documents and pay the fees.

So yes, 90% in diploma makes you eligible and competitive for good and popular B.Tech Computer Engineering colleges in Mumbai. Just apply during lateral entry counselling and list your preferred colleges.

Yes, you are eligible for engineering admission in Maharashtra. Here's how:

You got 52% overall in HSC, which meets the minimum requirement (45% for general and 40% for reserved categories).

Even though your PCM is 41%, in Maharashtra CET admissions, Electronics is often considered as an optional subject in place of Chemistry, especially if the course allows it. That gives you 47% in PCM with Electronics, which many colleges will accept.

Your 93 percentile in MHT CET (PCM group) is a strong score. With this percentile, you have a good chance of getting into decent engineering colleges in Maharashtra. You may get branches like IT, CSE, or E&TC in private colleges and possibly in a few government-aided ones too.

Colleges you may target include:
VIT Pune
PCCOE Pune
Sinhgad Institutes
Thakur College of Engineering, Mumbai
Ramrao Adik Institute, Navi Mumbai
KJ Somaiya (for some branches depending on cutoffs)

Final admission will depend on the CAP (Centralized Admission Process) rounds, your category (if any), and preferences filled.

SC Telangana NEET future 2025 students

I do not so far know the precise authoritative figures, but the following is a sensible guess founded on the evidence before us:

Generally, Telangana contributes approximately 70,000-75,000 of the candidates annually to NEET.

After an average state qualifying rate of approximately 55 60 percent, approximately 40,000 matches qualify.

In Telangana, where the community of SC is 15 20 per cent of examinees.

Assuming that they pass at a rate comparable to the one the state passes, about 8,000-9,000 SC students in Telangana must have passed NEET 2025.

The name of the student is placed in the category-wise merit list over official Telangana counselling/medical admission websites (such as KNRUHS).

The most valid source is the category-mixture list, download once it is out.

In the event that you are registered to attend counselling, your profile/ dashboard will indicate the SC specific rank and seat status.

Hello,

First and foremost. don't give up. Although 208 NEET 2025 points might not be sufficient for MBBS at a government medical college, there are still a lot of worthwhile options to consider based on your interests, category, and price.

Action You can take right now:

• Deemed universities and private medical colleges: You may have a chance in management quota seats there. However, bear in mind that they might be highly costly.
• Allied Health Courses: Despite not requiring a medical degree, some professions still provide rewarding careers like B.Sc. Nursing, BMLT (Medical Lab Tech), BPT, B.Sc. in anesthesia etc. Hospitals have high demand for these courses.
• Do it again for NEET 2026 if you are passionate about getting medical degree.

Hello aspirant,

Here below I am providing you the name of some of the top government colleges for engineering in Maharashtra:
