Question by Shilpa on Jun 24, 2025Hindi

My son got 99.25 in MHTCET 3500 rank in COMEDK and has got CSE in ViT Vellore. What are his chances of getting CS in SPIT/PICT we are confused whether to leave CSE in Vellore or continue with it.

Ans: Shilpa Madam, With a 99.25 percentile in MHT CET and a 3500 rank in COMEDK, your son is well placed for top private and government colleges. For SPIT Mumbai, the CSE cutoff for Maharashtra home state candidates typically closes between 99.0–99.4 percentile, and for PICT Pune, CSE closes around 97.7–98.6 percentile. Your son’s percentile is above the PICT CSE cutoff and on par with SPIT’s lower range, making him a strong contender for CSE at PICT Pune and giving him a realistic chance at SPIT Mumbai, especially in the first or second CAP rounds. Both SPIT and PICT offer outstanding placements—SPIT has maintained 100% placement for four consecutive years with an average CTC of ?15 lakh and top recruiters like Meta, Amazon, and PhonePe, while PICT’s CSE placement rate is 80–84% with an average package of ?7–8 lakh and top IT recruiters like Microsoft, Infosys, and TCS. VIT Vellore CSE also boasts excellent placements, with a 95%+ placement rate, over 900 recruiters, and an average package of ?9–10 lakh. However, SPIT and PICT both have a strong reputation in Maharashtra, a robust alumni network, and are highly valued by recruiters in the Mumbai-Pune region, which can be advantageous for local internships and jobs. VIT Vellore, while nationally ranked and offering a vibrant campus life, is located outside Maharashtra and may not provide the same local industry connections.

The recommendation is to participate in MHT CET CAP rounds and prioritize SPIT Mumbai and PICT Pune for CSE, given your son’s strong percentile and the excellent placement and academic environment these colleges offer; retain VIT Vellore CSE as a backup, but do not leave it until a SPIT/PICT seat is confirmed. IMPORTANT: Please check the REFUND POLICY/Last Date if you withdraw the seat from VIT-V. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
