I got 92.97% in MHT PCB CET. I am Maharashtra domicile. Open SEBC category. I want to study B.Pharmacy. Any recommendations for government colleges with good quality teaching and placement rate ?

Ans: With a 92.97% in MHT CET PCB, Maharashtra domicile, and SEBC category status, you have limited but viable admission prospects to government B.Pharmacy colleges in Maharashtra. The top government pharmacy colleges include Institute of Chemical Technology Mumbai (ranked #5 in NIRF 2024 pharmacy category), Poona College of Pharmacy Pune, Government College of Pharmacy Karad, Government College of Pharmacy Amravati, and Government College of Pharmacy Aurangabad. However, admission cutoffs for premier institutions remain challenging - ICT Mumbai requires around 20+ marks for general category and 65+ for OBC, while Government College of Pharmacy Karad shows GSEBCO (General SEBC Other) cutoffs at 97.16-98.22 percentile in 2024. Government College of Pharmacy Amravati recorded 70-95% placement rates with top recruiters including TCS, Sun Pharmaceuticals, and Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, offering median packages of ?3-5 LPA. Government College of Pharmacy Aurangabad achieved 70% placement rates with a ?3 LPA median package and recruiters like Sun Pharma, Cipla, and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Technological University Lonere serves as another government option with B+ NAAC accreditation, offering 15 M.Pharma seats in Pharmacognosy and affiliated with 29 pharmacy colleges across Maharashtra. Your percentile falls below the competitive cutoffs for top government colleges like ICT Mumbai and Government College of Pharmacy Karad, but may provide access to newer government colleges or those affiliated with DBATU Lonere through later counselling rounds.

Recommendation: Focus on Government College of Pharmacy Amravati and Aurangabad for better admission prospects with your 92.97% and SEBC status; consider DBATU Lonere-affiliated colleges as government alternatives; simultaneously apply to top private colleges like Poona College of Pharmacy and Bombay College of Pharmacy for backup options with superior placement records exceeding 90% rates. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi Sir My Rank Is 87717 in Kcet Suggest Some Good College in Bengaluru For EEE or EC .Is it worth for waiting for last round?? Please reply as soon as possible
Ans: For a KCET rank of 87717 in the 2BG category, admission to top-tier Bangalore institutes for Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE) or Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) is unlikely. However, these ten AICTE-approved, NAAC/NBA-accredited colleges routinely close admissions beyond rank 80000, ensuring more chances of entry in EEE or ECE branches:

Alliance College of Engineering & Design, Anekal—EEE/ECE closing rank ~98 000
Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology, Bangalore—EEE cutoff ~109 783
Cambridge Institute of Technology, Kundana—ECE closing rank above 100 000
SJB Institute of Technology, Jalahalli—EEE/ECE closing rank ~100 802
East West Institute of Technology, BEL Layout—EEE/ECE closing rank ~84 824
Impact College of Engineering & Applied Sciences, Sahakar Nagar—ECE cutoff ~93 517
GSS Institute of Technology, Rajajinagar—EEE/ECE closing rank above 110 000
Acharya Institute of Technology, Soladevanahalli—CSE cutoff ~101 534 (expect EEE/ECE similar)
Ghousia Engineering College, Ramanagara—EEE cutoff ~122 952
S K S J T Institute of Engineering, JP Nagar—EEE/ECE closing rank ~154 144

Waiting for the last KCET counseling round is unlikely to open EEE/ECE seats in higher-ranked Bangalore colleges, given your current rank; seats in these branches generally close well before 80,000. Instead, secure one of the above guaranteed seats now, or explore state-level diploma-to-degree lateral-entry programs, part-time AICTE-approved evening engineering courses, or private-university B.E. programmes with higher closing ranks. Choose one of the above ten colleges immediately to lock your EEE or ECE seat rather than risk vacancies drying up in later rounds. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir Mh cet 83 percentile jee -89 percentile But 10+2 -maths fail Then exam 15-7-23 cbse board Result will publish -1-7/8/25 What Will do For CSE admission in Maharashtra Please guide me.
Ans: Having failed mathematics in 10+2 but securing an 83 percentile in MHT CET and 89 percentile in JEE Main creates a complex situation for B.Tech CSE admission in Maharashtra. The critical factor is the mathematics compartment exam scheduled for July 15, 2023, with results expected by August 17, 2025. MHT CET 2025 eligibility criteria mandate that candidates must have "passed HSC or equivalent examination with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects" and obtained at least 45% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics taken together (40% for reserved categories). Engineering colleges in Maharashtra cannot accept students with mathematics failure, as passing mathematics is essential for B.Tech eligibility. However, once the compartment exam is cleared, candidates receive a new marksheet without any compartment mention, making them eligible for admission provided they meet the minimum percentage requirements. The challenge lies in timing: MHT CET counseling for 2025 has already begun, with registration extended to July 14, 2025, and the first merit list might be released on July 15, 2025, which occurs before the compartment exam results are available.

Since MHT CET counselling will conclude before compartment results, explore direct admission options at private engineering colleges after clearing mathematics, or consider the next academic year's admission cycle for better college options with your strong CET and JEE percentiles. (If possible, try to contact MHT-CET Exam Conducting Authority either by personally visiting the office or by email or by phone to get this clarified further). All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
