Hello,

Getting 81 marks in PCM is a decent score. The percentile can vary each year depending on the shift difficulty and how other students performed, but based on trends from past years, candidates scoring around 80–85 marks in the PCM group often land between the 92 to 95 percentile range. If your shift was comparatively tougher, your percentile might be higher even with 81 marks. But do remember, final percentiles depend on normalization done by the board. This percentile might get you admission in mid-level engineering colleges in Maharashtra especially private ones but for top branches in government colleges, the cutoff is usually higher around 98–99 percentile.
