With 51 percentile in MHT CET 2025, belonging to the SC category and being a Maharashtra domicile candidate, your chances of getting a branch like Computer Science or AI and Machine Learning at RAIT (Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology) are low in the early rounds of counselling. RAIT is one of the better-known colleges in Navi Mumbai and branches like CS, IT, and AI/ML are in high demand. Even for SC category students, the cutoffs for these branches tend to be higher, usually above the 65 to 75 percentile range depending on the year and seat availability. That said, your chances are not entirely gone. Seats do open up in the later rounds such as CAP Round 3 and especially during the institutional-level round where colleges admit students for leftover seats. Sometimes candidates with higher percentiles withdraw after getting admission elsewhere, which causes shifts in the cutoff ranks. It’s important that you participate in all rounds of counselling and keep your preferences updated. You can also consider filling in slightly less competitive branches like electronics or mechanical to keep a backup, and if you perform well in your first year, you might have a chance to apply for an internal branch change later. While getting CS or AI/ML in RAIT with 51 percentile is not easy, staying active in the counselling process till the end keeps the door open.
