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.

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.
