For COEP Pune, top branches like CSE, AI, or ECE require around 99+ percentile even for defence quota. So at 95.99, these aren't realistic.

However, you still stand a good chance for branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Manufacturing in COEP through the defence quota. These usually close around the 94–96 percentile mark for defence candidates.

In short, aiming for Civil or Mechanical at COEP is the practical move. It’s still a great college and these branches offer solid placements.
