MHT CET is open to non-Maharashtrian students, but the chances of getting into top colleges can be more competitive due to limited seats for out-of-state students. You can still get into good colleges, but you might need to score higher in the exam, especially for popular courses and institutions. Additionally, the fee structure for non-Maharashtrian students can be higher. To maximize your chances, aim for a strong score and review the specific eligibility criteria for each college.
