What Makes CSE So Competitive in MHT CET?

Computer Science Engineering is the most sought-after branch in Maharashtra engineering admissions. With IT industry salaries at premium levels and strong alumni networks at colleges like VJTI and COEP, CSE seats at top colleges are oversubscribed many times over.

The demand for CSE seats has been increasing steadily. In 2025, even colleges ranked 15–20 in Maharashtra saw their CSE cutoffs cross 95 percentile. Students should prepare alternate branch preferences (IT, AI/ML, E&TC) as backup options at their target colleges.
