Hello!

A percentile of 87 in MHT CET Agriculture, combined with an ST reservation, gives you good options for BSc Agriculture in Maharashtra.

• Government colleges like College of Agriculture, Pune, or Mahatma Phule Agri College, Rahuri may require percentiles above 90, but they sometimes open seats in subsequent rounds for ST candidates.

• Private but government-aided colleges such as JSPM College of Agriculture (Tathawade) and colleges under Marathwada Agricultural University often accept lower percentiles (85–88) in reserved category.

• Look at institutions like Vasantrao Naik College, Parbhani, and Agriculture University campuses in Kolhapur where ST seats often open up below the 90th percentile.

Fill your choices during MHT CET CAP counseling through the DTE Maharashtra portal. Prioritize colleges in reserve and open quotas early. Also, some newer private universities offer scholarships for ST candidates with MHT CET scores between 80–90 Percentile.

Best wishes!
