Hii,
you’re from another state and not from Maharashtra, getting admission through MHT-CET is quite tricky. The MHT-CET exam is primarily for students who are domiciled in Maharashtra. For students from other states, admissions in Maharashtra engineering colleges are usually based on JEE Main scores under the All India Quota.
the challenge is that your JEE Main percentile is only 35, which is very low and won’t be enough for most good colleges under the All India Quota. So even if you’ve taken MHT-CET, you won’t be eligible for government or government-aided colleges in Maharashtra because they require Maharashtra domicile for MHT-CET-based admission.
Many private colleges in Maharashtra do offer admissions under a management or institute-level quota. For these, you can apply directly, and they may not strictly consider your entrance exam score, or they may have their own criteria. So you still have a chance to get into a decent college, especially if you’re flexible and ready to explore private institutes.
