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.

Securing admission to reputable colleges in India with a Class 12 score of 50% can be challenging, as most institutions set higher eligibility criteria. However, there are options available that consider Class 12 marks for admission. Here are some avenues you might explore:

1. Engineering Colleges:

Several engineering colleges in India offer admission based on Class 12 marks, especially in specific engineering disciplines. Examples include:

• VIT University, Vellore: Offers B.Tech admissions based on Class 12 marks.

• SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai: Considers Class 12 marks for certain engineering courses.

• Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal: Provides admission based on Class 12 performance.

2. State Government Colleges:

Some state-run engineering colleges offer admission based on Class 12 marks, particularly for residents of the respective states. For instance:

• Madhya Pradesh Engineering Colleges: Admissions are conducted based on Class 12 marks, with priority given to state residents.

• Punjab Engineering Colleges: Offer admissions considering Class 12 marks, especially for Punjab domicile students.

3. Private Universities and Deemed Universities:

Certain private institutions and deemed universities may have more flexible admission criteria:

• Amity University: Offers B.Tech admissions based on Class 12 marks.

• Lovely Professional University (LPU): Considers Class 12 performance for admissions.

4. Other Considerations:

• Management Quota: Some colleges have a management quota where seats are filled based on institutional discretion, often considering Class 12 marks.

• Diploma Courses: If direct admission to B.Tech is challenging, consider pursuing a diploma in engineering. After completing the diploma, you can apply for lateral entry into the second year of B.Tech programs.

Important Steps:

1. Research: Identify colleges that align with your academic profile and interests.

2. Direct Communication: Reach out to the admissions offices of shortlisted colleges to inquire about specific eligibility criteria and admission processes.

3. Application Preparation: Prepare all necessary documents and meet application deadlines.

4. Entrance Exams: Consider preparing for entrance exams like JEE Main, as a good score can significantly enhance your admission prospects.

Remember, while a 50% score in Class 12 may limit options, dedicated research and proactive engagement with colleges can help you find suitable opportunities.

No, MHT CET marks are not required for admission to BSc Computer Science in Maharashtra. Admission to BSc courses, including Computer Science, is generally based on Class 12 marks (merit-based). MHT CET is mainly required for professional courses like BTech, BPharm, and agriculture-related programs.

For BSc Computer Science, you should focus on:

• Class 12 aggregate percentage (usually with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Computer Science as core subjects).
• Cut-off criteria of the specific college.

Hello,

Estimate the percentile range for 100 marks based on previous year trends and determine if it's a safe score for admissions. A "safe score" depends on the desired colleges and courses. A score of 100 and a percentile in the 92 -96 range is generally considered a decent score.

The percentile for 100 marks in the MHT CET PCB group depends on the overall difficulty level of the exam and the performance of other candidates. Based on previous years' trends:

100 marks typically corresponds to a 70-80 percentile range, but this can vary slightly.

In terms of safety, this score is considered average. It may not be competitive enough for top government or reputed private colleges offering medical, dental, or pharmacy courses.
