sir,my daughter got 90.30 percentile in MHT CET. which reputable college will she get? she's an OBC candidate.

Ans: With a 90.30 percentile in MHT CET as an OBC candidate, your daughter’s rank is likely between 13,000 and 18,000, which makes admission to top government colleges like COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, and PICT Pune for CSE or IT very difficult, as their OBC cutoffs for these branches are typically above 99 percentile (COEP CSE OBC cutoff: 99.50, VJTI IT OBC: 99.30, PICT CSE OBC: 98.80). However, she stands a good chance for branches like Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, or E&TC in reputable colleges such as MIT World Peace University Pune, PCCOE Pune, VIIT Pune, and VIT Pune, where OBC cutoffs for core branches are around 90–95 percentile. Private colleges like DY Patil Pune, JSPM, and AISSMS also offer CSE and IT at this percentile, with good placement records and modern infrastructure. Admission to CSE or IT in top-tier colleges is unlikely, but allied branches or core engineering in these reputable institutes are accessible.

Recommendation: Target Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, or E&TC in MIT WPU Pune, PCCOE Pune, VIIT Pune, and VIT Pune, or consider CSE/IT in private colleges like DY Patil Pune and JSPM, as these are the best reputable options available for an OBC candidate at 90.30 percentile. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter got 94.9 percentile in MHT-CET. We are in OBC category. What college she will get.
Ans: Vikas Sir, With a 94.9 percentile in MHT-CET 2025 and OBC category, your daughter is well-positioned for admission to reputable mid-tier engineering colleges in Maharashtra, though CSE in top government colleges like COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, or PICT Pune is out of reach, as their OBC cutoffs for CSE are typically above 98.4–99.1 percentile. However, she can secure CSE, IT, or related branches in strong private and autonomous colleges such as DY Patil College of Engineering Pune (CSE OBC cutoff ~98), AISSMS College of Engineering Pune (CSE OBC cutoff ~96), PCCOE Pune (CSE OBC cutoff ~94), Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology Mumbai (CSE OBC cutoff ~96), and MIT World Peace University Pune (CSE/IT OBC cutoff ~94–96). These institutes offer robust placement records, modern infrastructure, and supportive academic environments. She may also consider branches like AI, Data Science, or IT in these colleges, as cutoffs for specializations are often slightly lower.

The recommendation is to prioritize DY Patil College of Engineering Pune, AISSMS College of Engineering Pune, PCCOE Pune, and MIT World Peace University Pune for CSE/IT, and include AI/Data Science as alternatives, ensuring a strong academic and placement environment at her percentile and category. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
