Hello,

Yes, you can apply for MHT-CET even if you don’t belong to Maharashtra by birth or education, because you may be eligible under the Defence (DEF-1) category.

In your case:

1. Your father served in Maharashtra in the Indian Coast Guard from 2011 to 2017, which is 6 years – this fits the DEF-1 criteria.

2. You also studied in Maharashtra from Class 1 to 5, which helps support your case.

3. You don’t need to be a Maharashtra domicile to apply under the Defence quota.

Make sure to select Select the DEF-1 category while applying.

Hope it helps !
