Frequently Asked Questions
What is the admission process for engineering colleges in Maharashtra?
Admission to engineering colleges in Maharashtra is primarily conducted through the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) overseen by the State Common Entrance Test Cell. Candidates must participate in this process after appearing for the MHT-CET or other relevant entrance exams like JEE Main.
Are there any domicile requirements for admission through MHT-CET?
The main entrance exams accepted are the Maharashtra Health and Technical Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET) and the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main. Some colleges may also consider scores from other national or state-level exams.

Candidates must have passed the 10+2 examination with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects along with Chemistry/Biotechnology/Biology/Technical Vocational subjects. They must have secured a minimum of 50% marks (45% for reserved categories) in these subjects taken together. Additionally, candidates must have a valid score in MHT-CET or JEE Main.

What are the reservation policies for engineering admissions in Maharashtra?
Maharashtra follows a reservation policy for various categories like SC, ST, OBC, VJ/DT (NT(A)), NT(B), NT(C), NT(D), SBC, and EWS. Additionally, there are reservations for candidates with disabilities, children of defense personnel, and female candidates.
Are there any management quota seats available?
Yes, private unaided engineering colleges may have a certain percentage of seats reserved under the management quota. These seats are filled at the discretion of the respective institutions, usually based on merit and other criteria set by the college.
How does the counseling process work?
The counseling process involves multiple rounds. Candidates need to fill in their preferences for colleges and courses. Based on their entrance exam scores and the availability of seats, candidates are allotted seats. They need to confirm their admission by paying the requisite fee and submitting the necessary documents.
What does the ‘freeze’ option mean in the CAP counseling process?
The ‘freeze’ option means that the candidate is satisfied with the allotted seat and wishes to confirm it. By choosing this option, the candidate accepts the seat and will not be considered for further rounds of counseling.
What does the ‘betterment’ (float) option mean in the CAP counseling process?
The ‘betterment’ or ‘float’ option allows candidates to accept the current allotment but also be considered for their higher preferences in subsequent rounds. If a higher preference is allotted, the earlier seat is forfeited, and the candidate must take the new allotment.
Is it possible to move to a higher preference if I have already frozen a seat?
No, once you choose the freeze option and confirm your seat, you cannot participate in subsequent rounds for betterment or move to a higher preference.
What happens if I am not allotted a seat in the first round of counseling?
If a candidate is not allotted a seat in the first round, they can participate in the subsequent rounds of counseling. They can also modify their choices and preferences in the subsequent rounds.
What is the fee structure for engineering colleges in Maharashtra?
The fee structure varies across institutions. Government and government-aided institutions have lower fees compared to private unaided institutions. The exact fees can be checked on the respective college’s official website or during the CAP.
Are there any scholarships available for engineering students in Maharashtra?
Yes, various scholarships are available based on merit, category, and financial need. These include state government scholarships, central government scholarships, and scholarships offered by private institutions and NGOs.
What should I do if I have a grievance during the admission process?
Candidates can approach the Grievance Redressal Committee set up by the State CET Cell for any issues related to the admission process. Details for the same are usually provided on the official CET Cell website.
