1. Take the Compartment Exam and pass it.
2. Continue to check the official CAP schedule, there may be a chance for additional rounds or vacant seat rounds later during the CAP counselling where you may apply after passing your compartment.
3. Use the CET Cell Helpline to ask for modifications or special consideration (if applicable) for students with pending compartment results.

Keep your documents ready and keep tab of official announcements to avoid missing deadlines.

Hello Aspirant,

With your MHT CET score of 86% (PCM group), your potential admission into KJ Somaiya Institute of Engineering and Information Technology (KJSIEIT) or KJ Somaiya College of Engineering (KJSCE) during the CAP rounds will depend upon the cut-off trends from previous years. For computer science and interdisciplinary branches (IT, AI/DS, etc.), the cutoffs tend to be high for open category students. Here is a rough guide.

• KJSCE (Autonomous) Vidyavihar Campus: CSE and allied branches tend to close around 99-97 percentile especially for general/open category.
• KJSIEIT Sion Campus: Your chances may be better here. Interdisciplinary branches like Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence & Data Science, or Cyber Security may go down to 85-90 percentile, especially in later CAP rounds or for reserved categories.

Hello aspirant,
With 86 percentile in MHT CET, your approximate rank would fall between 20,000 to 25,000. In Pune, this gives you a fair chance at getting Computer Science Engineering (CSE) in mid-tier private colleges, though top ones like PCCOE, PICT, MIT WPU, or VIT Pune may be tough in the first rounds unless you're from a reserved category. You can target colleges like DY Patil Akurdi, JSPM Narhe, Indira College of Engineering, Zeal College, etc., where CSE cutoffs usually go up to 85–88 percentile in later rounds. Make sure to participate actively in all CAP rounds, fill in a broad choice list, and keep an eye on cutoffs. If you're from a reserved category, chances improve significantly even in better-ranked colleges.

Hello aspirant,
With 89.27 percentile in MHT CET, your expected rank would be around 35,000 to 45,000, though it can slightly vary depending on the shift and paper difficulty. At this rank, getting top branches like CSE or IT in top-tier colleges might be tough, but you still have decent chances for ECE, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, or even CSE/IT in mid-tier or private colleges.

If you are interested in coding or software, you can still go for CSE or IT in colleges like PCCOE, JSPM, or DY Patil Akurdi. If you’re open to core branches, Mechanical, ECE, or Electrical are solid options with good placement potential, especially if you’re planning for higher studies or government exams later.

With a 95.46 percentile in MHT CET 2025 as an Outside Maharashtra candidate , admission to COEP Pune and PICT Pune is very unlikely , even in lower-demand branches.

Both colleges have high cutoffs for OMS candidates, usually above 97 to 99 percentile , especially for Computer Science and IT.

You should consider other top private colleges in Pune or Mumbai like MIT WPU , PCCOE , or DY Patil , where your percentile can get you a good branch.

Participate actively in all counselling rounds, including spot rounds, for better chances.
