    MHT CET 2025 marks vs percentile

    A score above 160 in MHT CET 2026 is expected to secure a percentile above 99.50 and place you within the top 1–900 ranks. This projection comes from the rank predictor that maps 2026 marks to AIR using 2025 trends and published percentile bands.

    MHT CET 2025 marks vs percentile — official bands used for prediction

    The 2025 marks-to-percentile mapping used by the predictor shows clear bands:

    • >160 marks → 99.90+ percentile (2025 data)
    • 150–159 99.65–99.90 percentile
    • 140–149 99.10–99.65 percentile
    • 130–139 98.60–99.10 percentile
    • 120–129 97.70–98.60 percentile
    • 110–119 96.50–97.70 percentile
    • 100–109 95.00–96.50 percentile

    These 2025 bands are the baseline for the MHT CET 2026 rank predictor and informed expected rank ranges.

    MHT CET 2025 marks vs percentile: expected 2026 marks vs percentile vs rank

    Using past trends, expected rank ranges for 2026 are:

    • 140–160 99.00+ percentile; rank 900–1,800
    • 130–140 98.00–99.00 percentile; rank 1,800–2,700
    • 110–130 96.00–98.00 percentile; rank 7,000–7,900
    • 90–110 95.00–96.00 percentile; rank 7,900–8,200
    • 80–90 85.00–95.00 percentile; rank 8,200–10,000
    • 60–80 80.00–85.00 percentile; rank 10,000–10,990
    • Below 50 → percentile below 70 ; rank above 20,000

    These estimates reflect patterns observed up to May 5, 2026 and are intended to give you a likely rank window based on your raw score.

    Category-wise safe scores and reservation breakdown

    Expected safe-score ranges by category for Maharashtra engineering seats:

    • General: 140–160+
    • OBC / EWS: 120–140+
    • SC / ST: 90–120+

    Reservation percentages applied during counselling: OBC 19% , SC 13% , ST 7% , VJ DT-NT (A) 3% , NT B/C/D (combined) 8% .

    Target marks for top Maharashtra colleges (branch-wise)

    Target safe-score ranges used by the predictor for top branches:

    • Computer Engineering (COEP, VJTI): 150–165
    • Computer Engineering (PICT): 145–155
    • Information Technology (VJTI): 145–155 ; (PICT): 140–150
    • AI & Data Science (PICT): 135–145

    These targets are derived from previous-year cutoffs and the rank predictor’s conversions.

    All figures are projections based on the MHT CET 2025 marks vs percentile mapping and rank predictor estimates released for 2026. Use these bands to gauge likely rank zones during counselling and college selection.
