Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How does the MHT CET College Predictor calculate admission chances?
The tool compares your MHT CET percentile against the actual closing cutoffs of Round 1, 2, and 3 from official DTE CAP data. If your percentile is 1.0% or more above the closing cutoff, it is tagged as Safe; if it is within -0.8% to +1.0%, it is tagged as Moderate; and if below by more than 0.8%, it is classified as a Dream college.
Can Outside Maharashtra Students (OMS) use this predictor?
Yes. All India candidates can participate in Maharashtra CAP rounds through JEE Main Paper-1 scores. Simply select the All India Quota (AI) option or enter your JEE Main percentile in the exam score field.
What is the difference between Home University (HU) and Other than Home University (OHU)?
In non-autonomous universities in Maharashtra, 70% of seats are reserved for students graduating from schools/colleges within that university jurisdiction (Home University), while 30% are open to students from other parts of Maharashtra (OHU). Autonomous institutes like COEP, VJTI, and PICT allocate seats on a State-Level (SL) merit basis.
How do I convert MHT CET marks to percentile?
Because MHT CET is held across multiple morning and afternoon shifts, CET Cell normalizes raw marks into percentiles using equipercentile equating. You can use our MHT CET Rank Predictor to estimate your state merit rank and percentile directly from your raw score out of 200.
