Since you're a non-domicile candidate and you've appeared for both JEE and MHT CET, you should ideally apply for admission to engineering colleges in Maharashtra using your JEE Main score.
As a non-domicile (i.e., not a resident of Maharashtra), you're not eligible for seats reserved under the state quota in MHT CET. However, JEE Main is accepted for admission to the All India Quota seats in Maharashtra engineering colleges, and these seats are specifically meant for candidates from outside the state.
Many top private engineering colleges and a few government-aided institutes in Maharashtra reserve a percentage of their seats for candidates applying through JEE Main under the All India category. So, even if you’ve written MHT CET, your MHT CET score won’t be valid for state quota seats unless you hold domicile. Hence, for you, JEE Main is the right route.
Make sure to apply during the CAP (Centralized Admission Process) rounds and select colleges where All India Quota seats are available.
You have given JEE and MHCET but you arenon domicile So you should register for MHT CET counselling CAP using yiur JEE Main score even if you did not appear in MHT CET you need to pay the counselling fee and register for CAP as All India candidate then you can fill choices and seats will be allotted based on JEE rank MHT CET exam is not mandatory for non Maharashtra candidates they just need to register for CAP process using JEE score
