Expert Tip for Students
“Don’t panic if your percentile isn’t in the top bracket,” says one career counsellor. “With record participation this year, even 95+ percentile can open doors to good colleges, especially in the later CAP rounds.”
The focus now shifts to PCM results and the release of detailed merit lists and cutoffs. Top colleges like COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, and PICT Pune are expected to have very high closing percentiles for popular branches like Computer Science and IT due to increased competition.
This result announcement is a big milestone for thousands of dreams in Maharashtra. Whether you aced it or are planning to use the second attempt wisely — congratulations on reaching this stage!
