Dear student,

With a 61% percentile in MHT CET 2025, getting into top colleges like COEP, VJTI, SPIT, or DJ Sanghvi is unlikely, as these usually require a percentile above 90. However, many mid-level private colleges are well within your reach, especially for branches like Data Science, AI, or IT, which have slightly lower cutoffs than core CSE.

You can consider colleges such as DY Patil (Akurdi, Ambi), Sinhgad Institute, JSPM, Zeal College, SIES Navi Mumbai, Sandip University, or SITCOE Yadrav. These colleges typically accept students with percentiles between 40 and 75, so your chances are decent.

During CAP counselling, fill as many choices as possible and keep your options open regarding branches. You may also check for vacancies in later rounds or institute-level admissions.

hi,

With 61% in MHT CET, it may be hard to get top government colleges or the most popular CSE and Data Science seats in high-ranked institutes, but you can still aim for good private colleges in Maharashtra. You can try for colleges like Sinhgad Institute of Technology, AISSMS College of Engineering, PCCOE Pune, Datta Meghe College of Engineering, and St. Francis Institute of Technology, Mumbai.
