Importance of MHT CET Vacancy List Before Option Entry

The MHT CET CAP vacancy list is published before the option entry and serves as an important resource for candidates participating in the counselling process. It provides details of the seats remaining vacant in various colleges, courses and branches after the previous CAP round. Candidates can use this information to make their choice-filling strategy more practical and improve their chances of securing admission. The vacancy data can help students identify colleges or branches where seats are still available and consider options that may have a higher probability of allotment. However, candidates should not assume that a vacant seat guarantees admission. The MHT CET seat allotment depends on merit, category, seat type, preferences and competition among applicants. Therefore, candidates should analyse the vacancy list along with previous-round cutoffs before finalising their option list.

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.
