Hello Nami!

In Maharashtra the cutoff is based on the region of the candidate. There are three regions called Vidarbha, Rest of Maharashtra and Marathwada Region. So his selection depends upon his region. 

Colleges in Nagpur, Dhule, Jalgaon, Kolhapur, Yavatmal, Nanded, and Akola have lower cutoff and your friend can try there.
