VJTI, COEP, ICT Mumbai – MHT CET Cutoff 2026

These three tables aren't rounded-off approximations — they're the actual closing rank and percentile recorded for each branch at the highest MHT CET CAP round it reached during the 2025 admission cycle, drawn directly from Maharashtra's CAP allotment records. That distinction matters because a great deal of "VJTI/COEP/ICT cutoff" content circulating online is built from word-of-mouth estimates or rounded prior-year guesses, which can diverge meaningfully from what these seats actually cleared. VJTI's Computer Engineering program, for instance, closed at a 99.9456 percentile with a closing rank of just 119 — meaning only 118 candidates across the entire GOPENS pool scored better and still chose (or were allotted) that seat ahead of the 119th-ranked candidate. That is an extraordinarily tight margin, and it illustrates just how compressed competition gets at the very top of Maharashtra's engineering admission system.

A useful way to read all three tables together is to notice how consistently Computer Science-adjacent branches (Computer Engineering at VJTI, Computer Science and Engineering plus the newer Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning program at COEP) sit at the top of each institute's own internal ranking, while specialized or less mainstream branches — Textile Technology at VJTI, Metallurgy and Material Technology at COEP, Fibres and Textile Processing Technology at ICT — consistently close several thousand ranks further out, even though these institutes are themselves elite by any Maharashtra-wide standard. This branch-level spread within a single top institute is often as large as, or larger than, the spread between two entirely different institutes in the same branch, reinforcing that branch choice deserves at least as much weight as institute choice in CAP planning.

It's also worth noting explicitly that COEP's official name is now COEP Technological University, reflecting its 2023 conversion from an autonomous government college to full university status — candidates researching cutoffs under the older "College of Engineering, Pune" or "COEP" search terms should be aware the CAP records and official listings now use the updated institutional name, though its historical abbreviation remains in common use.

MHT CET cutoffs shift every year based on total PCM registrations, paper difficulty, and how many candidates specifically target these three institutes versus treating them as a stretch option. However, year-on-year variation at this tier of institute is typically modest — usually within a few hundred rank positions or a few hundredths of a percentile point for the same branch, absent a major shift in candidate volume.

Estimating Your 2026 Chances

1. Find the actual 2025 closing percentile for your target branch above
2. Treat a percentile 0.05-0.1 points higher than the 2025 figure as a safety margin, given normal year-to-year fluctuation
3. Cross-check your category-specific cutoff — GOPENS figures above apply to General Open; reserved categories (GOBCS, GSCS, GSTS, GVJS, EWS, etc.) see meaningfully more relaxed cutoffs
4. Remember these are Round-specific closing figures — later CAP rounds can see cutoffs shift further as higher-ranked candidates who got seats elsewhere vacate these ones
