It is unlikely you will get VJTI for Textile Engineering with a score of 82.83 and a rank of 56753 in the EWS category (rank 3705). The cutoff for VJTI's Textile Technology programme is generally higher than the scores you've mentioned, especially for the EWS category.

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.
