Engineering aspirants can now apply through state CET cell for admission under institutional quota
Engineering aspirants seeking admission under the 20% institutional quota in Maharashtra can now apply through the Common Admission Process (CAP) conducted by the state CET Cell. While colleges will retain the right to issue their own merit lists, this new option aims to give students an alternative to apply if direct applications to colleges is not possible due to any reason. With MHT-CET results out, engineering admissions in Maharashtra are expected to start soon. The Higher and Technical Education Department announced revised rules on Friday. The government has already declared clear eligibility criteria for NRI candidates—who will occupy 5% of institutional quota seats. Additionally, colleges are already informed about fee-related guidelines for these seats. They charge up to three times the regular fees for management quota seats and five times more for NRI quota seats. All this streamlining is expected to bring greater transparency to engineering admissions, including those under institutional quota. The notification declaring amendment to the Maharashtra Unaided Private Professional Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admission to the Full Time Professional Undergraduate, Post Graduate, Integrated or Dual Degree Technical Courses) states, 'in case candidate is unable to submit the application directly to the institution concerned for any reason, the candidate shall have the opportunity to apply through the website of the Competent Authority till the date of allotment of final CAP Round. These applications will be forwarded to the respective institutions after the allotment process of CAP Round-IV. The concerned institution shall consider such applications while preparing the Inter-Se-Merit.' Traditionally, 80% of engineering seats are filled through CAP, with the remaining 20% filled by colleges under the institutional quota. As per information shared by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), while this process remains unchanged, students now have the CAP portal as an optional route for institutional quota applications. Director of DTE, Vinod Mohitkar, said, 'There is absolutely no intrusion on admissions done at the institutional level. We are only providing an optional platform for students to apply for those seats. This is only because we would receive random complaints from students that certain institutes are not taking their application of admission under institutional quota. In such cases they will have another option to apply. These applications will be sent to colleges to consider while declaring merit list.' Another significant change is the introduction of a fourth CAP round, as opposed to established practice of three CAP rounds. This is expected to allow students one additional chance to secure admission through CAP before the institutional round begins. Furthermore, there will be stricter rules for admission confirmation. Previously, confirmation was only mandatory if candidates were allotted their first-choice college. Now, in Round 2, confirmation is required if the allotted college is among the top three choices, and in Round 3, if it is among the top six.

Intense competition expected for engineering admissions in state
This year, the state is witnessing fierce competition for engineering admissions, particularly in top-tier colleges, following a significant surge in the number of high-scoring students in the MHT CET 2025 examination. According to the State Common Entrance Test Cell (CET Cell), the number of students scoring between the 10 and 99.99 percentile has risen by 4,471 compared to last year. As many as 43,299 students scored between 90 and 99.99 percentile this year, compared to 38,828 students in that range last year. Also, this year, 22 students across Maharashtra have scored a perfect 100 percentile in the Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (PMC) group of the MHT CET. Among them, 18 students have qualified for the prestigious JEE Advanced examination, making them eligible for admission into India's premier Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). As a result, the pressure now shifts to students scoring between 90 and 99.99 percentiles, who will face fierce competition for admission into highly sought-after courses like computer engineering, artificial intelligence and machine learning, internet of things, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence and data science (AI-DS). 'Several top-performing students have stated that although they had initially considered MHT CET and JEE as parallel options, their strong JEE Advanced scores ultimately influenced their decision to pursue admissions in IITs instead. This pattern is expected to slightly ease the pressure on state colleges but heighten competition among those just below the top percentile ranks,' said a senior official from the state CET cell on condition of anonymity. The growing appeal of engineering as a career choice over the last two years has been reflected in rising participation numbers. As per the information given by the state CET Cell, this year, 1,22,663 students in the PCM group were deemed eligible for the CET. Interestingly, there is a significant spike in students scoring within the 70 to 80 percentile range, with 5,798 more students in this bracket than last year. The popularity of engineering admissions in the state has been at a record high, with 1,49,078 students admitted last year, one of the highest in the past seven years. In fact, 20,000 additional seats were created last year, raising the total to 1,80,170 seats. Despite the increase, nearly all seats were filled, demonstrating the field's sustained demand. While deans of several engineering colleges have confirmed that this year, computer engineering will likely witness the fiercest competition, followed closely by other courses. 'I scored 98.7 percentile in the CET and was hopeful about securing a seat in computer engineering at one of the top colleges in Pune. But seeing the rise in high scorers this year, I know the competition will be tougher. I've already started preparing a strong preference list and exploring backup options too. The increasing demand for AI and cybersecurity courses makes it even more critical to make quick and informed choices,' said Rishabh Deshmukh, a student.
