Can I Get CS in Karnataka or Tamil Nadu with 281 PCM Marks?

Ans: Hi Gowri
at category-5 fees must be very high at VIT. you can try for COMEDK, there is a chance for CSE.

Ans: With a 91 percentile in MHT CET and 65% in 12th boards without Maharashtra domicile, your daughter faces significant challenges for admission to Computer Science/Information Technology in good colleges in Maharashtra, but several options remain available through different quotas and private institutions. Maharashtra's engineering admission system reserves 65% of seats for state domicile students, while 15% are allocated under the All India quota, and 20% under institutional quota. The expected cutoffs for top government colleges like COEP Pune require 99.7-99.9 percentile for CSE and VJTI Mumbai needs 99.6-99.9 percentile for CSE, placing these options out of reach. Similarly, prestigious private colleges like PICT Pune (99.2-99.5 percentile for CSE), SPIT Mumbai (99.3-99.6 percentile), and DJ Sanghvi (98.97 percentile in 2023) are also highly competitive. However, MIT WPU Pune offers more accessible admission with CSE cutoffs at 97.0-98.5 percentile, making it a potential option. Private colleges like Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT) Pune, Thakur College of Engineering, Bharati Vidyapeeth College, and PCET Mumbai have more flexible admission criteria through management quota or direct admission routes. VIT Pune offers 86.3% placement rates with highest packages reaching 51 LPA and median packages around 9.72 LPA, with top recruiters including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and NVIDIA. Symbiosis Institute of Technology and DKTE Society's Textile and Engineering Institute in Kolhapur also provide strong placement records with 100% placement in specific branches and industry connections. For backup options beyond government colleges, reputed private institutions include MIT WPU Pune, VIT Pune, Thakur College Mumbai, PCET Mumbai, Bharati Vidyapeeth colleges, ABES Ghaziabad, Galgotias Greater Noida, and various other Maharashtra private colleges that accept students through institutional quotas or direct admission processes.

The recommendation is to target MIT WPU Pune for CSE through MHT CET counselling as your primary option, apply to VIT Pune, Thakur College, PCET, and Bharati Vidyapeeth through management quota or direct admission routes, and consider institutions like DKTE Kolhapur and Symbiosis Institute of Technology as strong backup options, while also exploring the 15% All India quota in government colleges and the 20% institutional quota in private colleges during the extended CAP rounds. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
