Hii,

Thank you for your question!

Yes, you can get admission to a government college in Maharashtra through your MHT CET score, but it depends on how high your score is and which category you belong to (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.). The top government engineering and pharmacy colleges in Maharashtra, like COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, and ICT Mumbai, have high cut-offs. If your score is decent and falls within the cut-off range of government or government-aided colleges, you can secure a seat in the CAP rounds. Keep in mind that domicile in Maharashtra and category reservation play a huge role in increasing your chances. Even if you don't get in the first few rounds, keep an eye on the mop-up and spot rounds. You can also consider semi-government colleges if fully government ones are out of reach.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can definitely get a government college on your MHT CET score!

Maharashtra has many excellent government engineering, pharmacy, and other professional colleges. Your MHT CET percentile is used for admission to these through a process called CAP (Centralized Admission Process).

The higher your percentile, the better your chances, especially for popular branches. Also, if you have a reservation category (like SC, ST, OBC), your chances improve further. Keep an eye on the official MHT CET Cell website for counseling dates and cutoffs.

Yes, you can get admission to a government college in Maharashtra through MHT CET, but it depends on several factors. Your MHT CET percentile plays a major role—top colleges like COEP, VJTI, and ICT usually require a percentile above 95, especially for competitive branches like CSE or IT. If you belong to a reserved category such as SC, ST, OBC, or VJNT, you have a better chance even at lower percentiles due to relaxed cutoffs.

Your home university region (like Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, etc.) can also influence seat availability under the respective quotas. While branches like Mechanical or Civil may be available at lower scores, CSE and IT typically need much higher ranks.
