With a 49.55 percentile in MHA CET MCA and belonging to the ST category, there's a good chance of securing admission to a government college in Maharashtra.

The ST category often has lower cutoffs compared to the general category, increasing your chances of getting a seat. However, the exact college you can get depends on factors like:

• Number of seats available for ST category: This varies across colleges.
• Cutoffs for previous years: Analyze past trends to estimate this year's cutoffs.
• Competition within the ST category: A higher rank within the category can improve your chances.

Your general merit list number of 88 might not be relevant for securing a government seat under the ST category. Focus on your ST category rank and cutoff trends.

It's essential to participate in the counseling process and exercise your options carefully.

hope this helps you!!
