Ans: With a 22 percentile in MHT CET (approximate rank 64 000–73 000), general-category candidates can access mid- and lower-tier Maharashtra engineering colleges where mechanical, civil and certain specialized branches open at percentiles of 20–50. Institutions such as GS Mandal’s Marathwada Institute of Technology, Aurangabad (Mechanical at 49.62%), St. John College of Engineering & Management, Palghar (Civil at 48.61%), KDK College of Engineering, Nagpur (ECE at 46.37%), Sharad Institute, Kolhapur (Mechanical at 43.96%) and JD College, Nagpur (Mechanical at 47.42%) routinely admit below-50 percentiles. With a 23 percentile in PERA CET, you qualify for numerous private universities across Maharashtra and beyond—MIT ADT University Pune, D.Y. Patil International University Pune, Ajeenkya DY Patil University Pune, Sandip University Nashik, Vishwakarma University Pune, MIT-WPU Pune, Spicer Adventist University Pune, Sanjay Ghodawat University Kolhapur, MGM University Aurangabad, HSNC University Mumbai and Somaiya Vidyavihar University Mumbai among others.

For stable, accessible engineering entry, recommendation is to pursue MHT CET counselling for branches like Mechanical, Civil or ECE at lower-cutoff Maharashtra colleges (e.g., MIT Aurangabad or KDK Nagpur) while simultaneously applying via PERA CET to MIT-WPU Pune or D.Y. Patil Pune for broader program options. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
