Hello,

Yes, you can still apply to certain M.Tech colleges that do not require COAP for admissions. While IITs use COAP for seat allotment , many NITs, IIITs, and other institutes have their own admission processes.

What Can You Do?

1. Apply to NITs, IIITs, and Other Institutes via CCMT

• NITs, IIITs, and some GFTIs admit M.Tech students through CCMT (Centralized Counseling for M.Tech) .

• COAP is not required for CCMT.

• The eligibility is based on the GATE cutoff for your category , but since you mistakenly applied as General, your score may not meet the General cutoff in some cases.

2. Apply for Direct Admissions in Private/State Universities

Some top private and state universities offer M.Tech admissions based on GATE scores but do not use COAP , such as:

• BITS Pilani (Direct admission or written test)

• VIT Vellore (VITMEE exam or GATE score)

• Manipal University

• SRM University

• Shiv Nadar University

3. Contact IITs for Category Correction Appeal

If your score meets the OBC-NCL cutoff but not the General cutoff , you can try:

• Contacting GATE authorities (IISc/IITs) to check if corrections are possible for COAP registration.

• Some IITs allow category correction appeals if you provide valid proof (OBC-NCL certificate before the GATE deadline).

4. Use Your GATE Score for PSU or Other Opportunities

• Some PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings) recruit using GATE, and their application process is separate from COAP.

• Other M.Tech programs (like sponsored seats or self-sponsored seats ) may not strictly follow COAP rules.

Next Steps

1. Check NIT/IIIT admission through CCMT.

2. Look into private universities with direct M.Tech admissions.

3. Contact IIT admission offices to ask about a correction appeal.

4. Explore PSU or industry-based GATE opportunities.

MHT CET percentile scores fluctuate from year to year, depending on factors such as..

• The exam's overall difficulty, which affects score distribution.
• The total number of candidates, impacting competition.
• The collective performance of all students, determining relative standing.
• The normalization process, which standardizes scores across different exam.

Based on the previous year trends and available information, to achieve a 98 percentile in MHT CET , particularly in the Mathematics section, you should aim for a score in the range of approximately 130-140 marks.

To get the most accurate and up-to-date information, refer to the official MHT CET website and official announcements from the State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra. Focus on thorough preparation and maximizing your score to ensure a good percentile.
