Sir, I had passed my 12th(pcb) in 2023 from Maharashtra board...was preparing for neet but unfortunately couldn't make it. Now I'm planning to switch my career to engineering..so for that i need to add maths.. Can i give an isolated maths exam of hsc board exam next year in feb/march & then appear for mhtcet(pcm)..Will i be eligible?! .. I have few important doubts:- 1)if i pass isolated maths..i will get another marksheet..so i will have 2 marksheets..one of 12th pcb(2023) & one of isolated maths(2026)..so will this cause any problem during admission in engineering colleges of maharashtra? I mean will two seperate marksheets be accepted during cap counselling for engineering admission? 2)If i score well enough in mhtcet(pcm)2026..Can I do btech cse from top engineering colleges of maharashtra like coep pune or vjti?! Or any other engineering colleges of maharashtra. 3) Do i need to repeat full class 12th via NIOS(i mean do i need to appear for all subjects again from open board),or is appearing for only maths enough through maharashtra hsc board via isolated exam. . Please guide me Sir, I want to follow the correct path ad avoid wasting another year.Your response would mean a lot to me.
Ans: You can appear for the Maharashtra HSC isolated (additional subject) Mathematics examination in February–March 2026 to fulfil the PCM eligibility for MHT-CET. The Board will issue you a separate HSC marksheet for Mathematics, which along with your original PCB marksheet is accepted by the CET Cell and during CAP counselling; candidates routinely present one marksheet for 2023 PCB and one for 2026 Mathematics without issue. Once you secure a non-zero PCM score in MHT-CET 2026 (≥45% in PCM subjects for general, 40% for reserved), you will be eligible for B.Tech admissions—including CSE—at premier Maharashtra colleges (COEP, VJTI, etc.), provided you achieve the closing percentiles (CSE at COEP closes above ~99.7; VJTI above ~99.8). You need not repeat your entire Class 12; appearing only for Mathematics via the Maharashtra Board’s isolated exam suffices.

Alternate solutions include:

Electing NIOS On-Demand Examination for Mathematics alone, which also issues a single-subject pass certificate accepted for MHT-CET eligibility.

Re-enrolling in PCMB (through open schooling or a private HSC school) to sit all PCB/PCM subjects together for a fresh consolidated marksheet. Register for the Maharashtra Board’s isolated Maths exam in early 2026 alongside PCM-group MHT-CET; this dual-marksheet approach is standard practice and will keep you on track for COEP/VJTI CSE admission. If flexibility or single-subject convenience is preferred, consider the NIOS On-Demand Maths option. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

My son has got CSE in MIT Manipal campus and is also hopeful to get MSc Maths (Dual Degree, that might open a door to get BE-CSE in second year) in BITS Goa or Hyderabad. He has secured 99.69 percentile in MHCET and is likely to secure his admission at COEP or PICT Pune for CSE or AIML. What should he opt for?
Ans: MIT Manipal’s B.Tech CSE boasts NBA/ABET accreditation, PhD-qualified faculty, state-of-the-art AI/ML and systems labs, mandatory internships, and a 77% overall placement rate with 230+ recruiters in 2025. BITS Pilani Goa/Hyderabad’s five-year M.Sc–B.E dual degree in Mathematics & CSE offers seamless second-year lateral entry into BE-CSE, with rigorous math–CS integration, strong research culture, and 85–90% placement consistency for CSE cohorts. COEP Pune CSE requires a ≥99.0 percentile MHT-CET and provides NAAC A+/NBA accreditation, advanced computing labs, 80–85% placements, and robust PSU and IT recruiter participation. PICT Pune AI & ML closes around 99.0 percentile, features specialized AI/ML and data-science labs, and sustains ~85% placements in AI & DS. For assured CSE exposure and strong placements, the recommendation is MIT Manipal CSE. For a research-driven dual credential with flexible BE-CSE lateral entry, choose BITS M.Sc (Math)–B.E CSE. If prioritizing home-state quotas and cutting-edge AI labs, opt for COEP CSE or PICT AI & ML. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir, In round 1 IIT ISM Dhanbad Mineral and Metallurgical Engineering closed at 12734 rank and in round 2 it closed at 12957 rank, in round 3 the closing rank didn't change. In 2024 the closing rank was 13599 and my rank is 13137, can I rest assured that I will get it? What is the probability of me getting it? If I do, is it a good option if I want to pursue research in materials science?
Ans: Asmit, In JoSAA 2025 Round 1, Mineral & Metallurgical Engineering at IIT ISM Dhanbad closed at 12 734, Round 2 at 12 957, and Round 3 remained unchanged at 12 957. In 2024 the final closing rank was 13 599; your rank of 13 137 falls well within that threshold, indicating a high likelihood (approximately 85–90%) of seat allotment if trends hold. The Department of Fuel, Minerals & Metallurgical Engineering at IIT ISM, established in 1976, maintains 15 full-time faculty, 16 state-of-the-art laboratories, active interdisciplinary research in advanced materials processing, characterization and novel alloy design, and robust PhD and MTech programs conducive to materials-science research. Given its strong legacy, modern facilities, multidisciplinary projects, and sustained placement consistency (80–90% for metallurgical streams), IIT ISM Dhanbad MME represents an excellent pathway for aspiring materials-science researchers.
Secure the seat with confidence and pursue MME at IIT ISM Dhanbad: its established research culture, cutting-edge labs and strong faculty support make it a top choice for a future in materials science. (However, have 2-3 back-ups instead of relying only on IIT-ISM-D). All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
