My brother is getting 85 percentile in mhtcet. Which engineering college will be better for cse branch.

Ans: With an 85 percentile in MHT CET, your son can target admission in several good engineering colleges in Maharashtra offering CSE and related branches. Top government colleges like COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, and PICT Pune have very high cutoffs for CSE (above 99 percentile), so admission there for CSE is unlikely at 85 percentile. However, mid-tier reputed private colleges and some government-aided institutes are accessible. Colleges such as PICT Pune, DJ Sanghvi College Mumbai, SPIT Mumbai, Vishwakarma Institute of Technology Pune, and RNS Institute Bangalore offer good CSE/IT programs with cutoffs around 80–90 percentile and have strong placement records (70–90%). Other options include MIT WPU Pune, DY Patil College of Engineering Pune, and Shivaji University COE Kolhapur, which accept students with 70–85 percentile and provide decent placements.
