PredictCollege.in is a free, independent educational platform built specifically for MHT-CET aspirants in Maharashtra. Our mission is to help students and their families make confident, data-driven decisions about engineering and pharmacy college admissions ? using real, verified cutoff data from official CAP Round results, not guesswork.
Every year, over 6 lakh students appear for the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET). For the vast majority, the weeks between result day and counseling are filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and confusion. Which colleges can I get into? Is my percentile enough for Computer Science? Should I prioritize branch or college name? Should I wait for CAP Round 2 or accept in Round 1?
These are the questions that keep students and parents awake at night. These are exactly the questions PredictCollege.in was built to answer ? for free, for everyone, with no hidden fees or registration walls.
Engineering student from Maharashtra. Built PredictCollege.in after going through the MHT-CET admission process himself and realising no reliable free tool existed to help students understand their real college options.
Pushpak is an engineering student from Pune, Maharashtra, who experienced the stress of MHT-CET counseling firsthand. During his own admission process, he spent days manually scrolling through 200-page DTE cutoff PDFs, trying to find which colleges were realistic for his percentile and category. The process was exhausting, confusing, and completely unnecessary ? the official data existed, it just wasn't accessible in a useful form.
That experience became the driving force behind PredictCollege.in. Pushpak combined his skills in web development and data analysis to build a platform that converts thousands of official government cutoff records into a simple, searchable prediction tool. His goal from day one was straightforward: no Maharashtra student should have to guess their college options when real data is publicly available to guide them.
"I remember sitting with my phone, scrolling through 200-page DTE cutoff PDFs trying to find colleges for my percentile and OBC category. It took me two days and I still wasn't sure I had it right. I thought ? this data exists, it just needs to be made accessible. That's why I built PredictCollege.in. I wanted to create the tool I wished I had during my own MHT-CET journey." ? Pushpak Patil, Founder
The Centralized Admission Process (CAP) in Maharashtra is one of the most complex college admission systems in India. It involves:
Despite this mountain of official data, most students are forced to rely on word-of-mouth advice, unverified social media posts, or expensive paid counseling services that charge thousands of rupees just to tell a student which colleges to apply to.
PredictCollege.in was created to fix this. We believe every student regardless of their financial background ? deserves free, transparent access to the data that will shape their academic future. Our tool eliminates guesswork by converting raw, government-released DTE data into actionable, personalized college predictions in seconds.
Data accuracy is the foundation of everything we do. Our prediction engine relies exclusively on official, publicly available data released by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) Maharashtra and the State Common Entrance Test Cell. Here is our step-by-step data methodology:
We do not use estimates, projections, AI-generated cutoffs, or crowd-sourced data from students. Every prediction on PredictCollege.in is traceable back to an official DTE Maharashtra government document. This is what separates us from other tools that operate on assumptions and outdated information.
In addition to the college predictor tool, PredictCollege.in publishes educational guides covering topics directly relevant to MHT-CET students ? including percentile analysis, marks-to-percentile conversion, college comparisons, branch selection guides, and admission strategy articles.
Every article on PredictCollege.in is:
We do not publish content that we cannot verify. If a cutoff, rank, or college detail cannot be traced back to an official source, it does not appear on this site.
Yes, completely. There is no registration, no subscription, and no premium plan. Every feature ? the college predictor, marks-to-percentile calculator, and all blog articles ? is free for every student.
Our predictions are based on actual DTE Maharashtra closing cutoff data from CAP Rounds I, II, and III of the 2024-25 cycle. They are the most accurate historical reference available, but they are not a guarantee ? actual 2026 cutoffs may shift based on the number of applicants, seat availability, and exam difficulty that year.
Yes. We support OPEN, OBC, SC, ST, SEBC, EWS, NT1, NT2, NT3, VJ, Ladies, and TFWS categories. This is one of the most comprehensive category coverages available in any free MHT-CET predictor.
