MHT CET All India (AI) Seat Cutoff
All India seats accept both MHT CET and JEE Main scores, and the cutoff for these seats is reported separately from Maharashtra State seats.
- COEP, Computer Science and Engineering: All India merit number 361, corresponding to a JEE Main percentile of 99.2748
- COEP, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: All India merit number 413, corresponding to a JEE Main percentile of 99.1999
- PICT, Computer Engineering: All India rank 893, corresponding to 98.6885 percentile
- PICT, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science: All India rank 999, corresponding to 98.5860 percentile
Why Round 2 Cutoffs Differ From Round 1
The Round 2 seat matrix showed more than 54,700 vacant engineering seats across participating institutes after Round 1, giving more candidates a chance to secure admission in Round 2. Because of this higher seat availability, cutoffs for less-preferred or newly available branches may ease compared to Round 1, while high-demand branches such as Computer Science and Engineering, Information Technology, and Artificial Intelligence and Data Science are likely to remain competitive with high closing percentiles.
