Yes, you are eligible for engineering admission in Maharashtra. Here's how:

You got 52% overall in HSC, which meets the minimum requirement (45% for general and 40% for reserved categories).

Even though your PCM is 41%, in Maharashtra CET admissions, Electronics is often considered as an optional subject in place of Chemistry, especially if the course allows it. That gives you 47% in PCM with Electronics, which many colleges will accept.

Your 93 percentile in MHT CET (PCM group) is a strong score. With this percentile, you have a good chance of getting into decent engineering colleges in Maharashtra. You may get branches like IT, CSE, or E&TC in private colleges and possibly in a few government-aided ones too.

Colleges you may target include:
VIT Pune
PCCOE Pune
Sinhgad Institutes
Thakur College of Engineering, Mumbai
Ramrao Adik Institute, Navi Mumbai
KJ Somaiya (for some branches depending on cutoffs)

Final admission will depend on the CAP (Centralized Admission Process) rounds, your category (if any), and preferences filled.
