Two Non-Maharashtra Students Score 100 Percentile in MHT CET 2026
CET Cell made a major change this academic year by limiting the MHT CET 2026 exam centres to only Maharashtra. This decision was made to strengthen the security and integrity of the entrance exam. In the past, there had been reports of irregularities at some out-of-state centres. However, this change did make it difficult for other state students who were aiming for MHT CET as many reported that travelling to Maharashtra for the exam would be financially and mentally challenging.

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.
