Hello,

You’ve scored 42 percentile in MHT CET, and now you’re wondering what colleges you can get. Don’t worry  I’ll try to guide you with helpful information.

First of all, at 42 percentile, it may be difficult to get into top government engineering colleges or highly demanded branches like Computer Science (CSE), IT, or Electronics in Mumbai, Pune, or Nagpur. These usually close at much higher percentiles (above 90 or even 95 for the open category).

But these don’t mean you have no options! You still have chances in:Private engineering colleges, Low-demand branches, Colleges in rural or low-competition zones, and also in later rounds or vacancy rounds where cutoffs fall.

You can explore some private/self-financed colleges.

(These colleges often accept students in the 40–50 percentile range in later rounds)

1. Jayawantrao Sawant College of Engineering, Pune

2. Dhole Patil College of Engineering, Pune

3. Shree Ramchandra College of Engineering, Pune

4. Brahmdevdada Mane Institute of Technology, Solapur

5. Zeal College of Engineering and Research, Pune

7. JSPM’s Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering, Tathawade (for less demanded branches)

8. G.H. Raisoni Institute (Nagpur, Amravati campus)

In these colleges, you might have difficulty getting   CSE, but you may get Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, or E&TC.

Now you can do the next

Go to the CAP (Centralized Admission Process) portal; https://cetcell.mahacet.org/ /

Participate in all counselling rounds especially CAP Round 3 and vacancy round, where many students leave seats and cutoffs drop.

Be open to shifting branches later or choosing less popular streams.

If you belong to a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC/EWS), or have a home district advantage, your chances improve in certain colleges. Also, consider diploma-to-degree or lateral entry options in the future.

Keep hope! Many students with 40–50 percentiles get good placements later if they choose wisely and work hard.

All the best for your engineering journey
