Hey! Since you’ve got 89 percentile in JEE Mains and 86 percentile in MHT-CET, and you belong to the OBC category, you do have some good options in both state and central colleges.

With your JEE percentile, getting into top NITs or IIITs might be difficult for CSE or core branches, but you might still get lower-demand branches in newer NITs or other institutes through the JoSAA counselling, especially if you include all rounds and choices carefully.

As for MHT-CET, 86 percentile is quite decent, especially for OBC category. In state counselling (CAP rounds), you could have a good chance in government or aided engineering colleges in Maharashtra, especially for branches like IT, ENTC, Electrical, or Mechanical. For CSE in top Mumbai or Pune colleges, cutoffs might be tighter, but you can still aim for mid-tier colleges where the closing ranks are higher.

Also, don’t forget to apply through both JEE and CET counselling, and fill in as many choices as possible to keep your options open.
