Frequently Asked Questions

What is MHT-CET? +
MHT-CET (Maharashtra Common Entrance Test) is the state-level entrance exam for admission to Engineering (B.E./B.Tech) and Pharmacy (B.Pharm) courses in Maharashtra. It is conducted by the State Common Entrance Test Cell (CET Cell), Maharashtra. The exam has 200 marks — Physics 50, Chemistry 50, and Mathematics 100.
How accurate is this college predictor? +
Our predictor is based on actual 2024–25 CAP Round closing cutoffs published by DTE Maharashtra. It shows colleges where your score falls above the historical cutoff (Safe), right at the cutoff (Moderate), or slightly below (Reach). Accuracy depends on how similar 2026 cutoffs are to 2024–25 — which typically varies by ±2–5 percentile points.
What is the CAP Round process? +
CAP (Centralised Admission Process) is conducted by DTE Maharashtra for filling Engineering and Pharmacy seats. It consists of 3 rounds: CAP Round I, II, and III. Students fill an online option form, and seats are allotted based on merit, category, and preference. Our tool uses actual closing cutoffs from all 3 rounds.

Yes! PredictCollege.in is 100% free to use. There is no registration required, no subscription, and no hidden fees. All features — College Predictor, Calculator, Cutoff Explorer, Branch Guide, and Blog — are completely free for all students.
What is the MHT-CET marks to percentile formula? +
MHT-CET Percentile = 100 − (Your Rank / Total Candidates) × 100. Alternatively, use our 🧮 Marks → Percentile Calculator which estimates your percentile based on your raw marks out of 200 using historical score-vs-percentile mapping data.
Which are the top government engineering colleges in Maharashtra? +
The top government engineering colleges in Maharashtra include VJTI Mumbai (99.9+ percentile), COEP Pune (99.8+ percentile), Government COE Pune (98+), Government COE Aurangabad (96+), and Government COE Nagpur (95+). Use our predictor to check exact branch-wise cutoffs for your category.
