The Round 2 cutoff is expected to be different from the Round 1 closing percentile because a significant number of seats remain available after the first round. The Round 2 seat matrix showed more than 54,700 vacant seats across institutes and courses. The availability of these seats could result in changes in closing percentiles for several branches and colleges.
Candidates targeting highly preferred institutes and branches such as Computer Science and Engineering, Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science should, however, be prepared for comparatively higher closing percentiles. Less preferred or newly available branches may have more movement in Round 2.
Commonly asked questions
With 97.5 percentile in MHT-CET, you have a strong chance to get admission in reputed colleges like PICT Pune, VIT Pune, SPIT Mumbai, or Thakur College of Engineering for branches such as IT, ECE, or Electrical. COEP and VJTI may be difficult for CSE. Government colleges like WCE Sangli, SGGS Nanded, and GCOE Amravati are also good options. You can get preferred branches in private colleges and core branches in government ones. Your chances further improve if you belong to a reserved category or have home university advantage within Maharashtra.
For the General HS category, the cutoff ranged from 4.33 to 20.54 percentile for M.Tech course specialisations. Therefore, students need to attain at least 4.33 percentile for admissions at COEP Pune. MHT CET M.Tech percentiles are required for admission to M.Tech courses at COEP, Pune.
Students should note that the above mentioned percentile is only valid for the General HS category in the last round. Other rounds and categories will have different minimum qualifying percentiles. To know more, students can click here.

4. K. J. Somaiya Institute of Engineering and IT (less competitive branches)
5. Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Pune (non-core branches)

Factors Affecting MHT CET Round 2 Cutoff
Several factors will determine the MHT CET CAP Round 2 closing percentile:
-
Number of vacant seats after CAP Round 1
-
Number of candidates participating in Round 2
-
Candidate preferences entered during option filling
-
College and branch popularity
-
Category-wise seat availability
-
Maharashtra State and All India candidature
-
Previous round closing percentile
-
Number of candidates accepting or upgrading their Round 1 seats
Since candidates were allowed to modify their preferences during Round 2 option entry, the final closing percentile can move significantly for courses where more seats are available.
Commonly asked questions
With 120 marks in MHT-CET (General category), you are unlikely to get top colleges/branches (like CSE/IT in COEP, VJTI) but can aim for mid-tier private/university-affiliated colleges in less competitive branches.
With 63.57% in MHT CET, you do have a fair chance to get B.Tech in Fashion Technology at D.K.T.E. Institute, especially if you're in a reserved category or from the home state. Fill it in your CAP options and keep backup colleges too, just in case the cutoffs go higher this year
With an low score in MHT CET you still have chance to get into government colleges if you come under SC/ST category, also on branch preferences you would still have an chance , also on further rounds the vacant seats will be filled with low score students.
Many factors influence MHT CET cutoff like number of candidates appearing, difficulty level of entrance exam, seat capacity, cutoff trends, etc.

It is important to check the MH CET 3-year LLB marks versus percentile. This is because college admissions are based strictly on your final percentile rank rather than your raw score.

Sorry, but according to me with 96.09 percentile in MHT-CET through PCB, you cannot get admission to ICT for B.Tech Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology. The cuttoff competitively closes around 99.0 to 99.9 percentile.
