MHT CET College Predictor by Category (OBC/SC/ST/EWS/VJ)

VJTI Mumbai CSE OBC (OBC-NCL) closing percentile in MHT CET CAP 2025 was approximately 99.97 percentile — only marginally below the Open category cutoff of 99.99. VJTI is so competitive that even OBC candidates need very high percentiles. For other branches at VJTI, OBC cutoffs are roughly 0.05–0.10 percentile below Open category.

SC (Scheduled Caste) candidates can get admission to government colleges in Mumbai at much lower percentiles. For colleges like KJSCE Mumbai or VESIT Mumbai (non-CSE branches), SC category closing percentile is typically around 85–92 percentile. For VJTI Mumbai SC CSE, it is approximately 98–99 percentile even for SC category.

VJ-NT refers to Vimukta Jati (VJ) and Nomadic Tribes (NT) — a state-specific reservation category in Maharashtra. The Maharashtra government provides reservation for VJ (Denotified Tribes), NT-B, NT-C, NT-D (Nomadic Tribes groups B, C, D), and SBC (Special Backward Class). Each has separate seat reservation in Maharashtra colleges.

Yes, 10% EWS (Economically Weaker Section) reservation applies in Maharashtra CAP 2026 for candidates from the Open category whose family income is below ₹8 lakh per year and who don't own significant agricultural land or urban property as per central EWS criteria. EWS cutoffs are typically 1–3 percentile below Open category cutoffs.

No, you can apply under only one primary category in MHT CET CAP 2026. However, you can claim multiple benefits — for example, if you are OBC-NCL and also have a disability, you get both OBC reservation and PwD horizontal reservation simultaneously. Candidates must upload valid caste/category certificates during CAP registration.
