Historical Background

First introduced in 2007, MHT CET has become the primary gateway for engineering admissions in Maharashtra. Last year, around 350 institutes offered roughly 250,000 seats; this year the number rises to 380 institutes, making the first round even more critical for aspirants.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that the expanded seat pool and transparent CAP process this year could dramatically improve admission odds for lakhs of candidates, especially those from reserved categories and home‑state applicants.

"Prompt action in Round 1 is essential for candidates, as seat availability dwindles in later rounds," says education analyst Dr. Anjali Sharma.
Did You Know?: Over 5% of MHT CET seats are reserved for women and Scheduled Castes/Tribes, enhancing diversity in engineering colleges.
