Hi,

With a 68th percentile in MHT CET under the Open category, you do have chances of getting admission into Civil Engineering in some good colleges in Pune, but top-tier colleges might be difficult to get at this percentile.

First, you have to understand how percentile works. A 68th percentile means your score is better than 68% of the students who appeared for the exam. Your exact rank will be calculated out of the total number of test takers, and cutoffs are released in ranks, not percentiles. In Pune, many private and semi-government colleges offer Civil Engineering, and the cutoffs vary based on the Institute type, whether it's an autonomous/government/private ,College reputation, and Previous year trends.

At 68 percentile, you can get a chance in the following types of colleges: Private colleges or recently established institutes, some autonomous colleges’ lower branches, or less preferred rounds, through Management quota seats as their fees may be higher.

Some Pune colleges where you can try for Civil Engineering:

D.Y. Patil Institute of Engineering & Technology, Pimpri

Sinhgad College of Engineering later rounds or institute-level seats

Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering research

Jayawantrao Sawant College of Engineering

Zeal College of Engineering and Research

You may not get top choices like COEP, VIT Pune, or MIT-WPU at this percentile, but wait for CAP Round 2 or 3, and also explore institute-level seats and counselling vacancy rounds.

If you’re flexible about branch or college, you can still get a decent civil engineering seat. You should also apply early in the counselling rounds to improve your chances.
