If you got 40 percentile in MHT CET in OBC category, your chances of getting top government engineering colleges or computer-related branches like CSE are low. But you can still get admission in many private or average colleges, especially in branches like Electrical, Mechanical, Electronics, Civil, Production or sometimes Artificial Intelligence or Cybersecurity depending on seat availability and vacant seats in later rounds.

Some private colleges in Mumbai, Pune, or other cities of Maharashtra may accept 40 percentile students in OBC category. For example:

You may try Vidyalankar Institute of Technology in Mumbai, DY Patil College of Engineering in Pune, JSPM, Sinhgad College, Bharati Vidyapeeth College, and some colleges in Akola or Ahmednagar. In these colleges, branches like Mechanical, Civil, Electrical or Production may be available. If you are lucky, you might get AI, DS or Cybersecurity in later rounds or spot admission rounds.

Your selection will depend on how many students with higher ranks take admission before you, and what branches are still available in the final CAP rounds. Keep checking regularly.
