Questions related to MAH MCA CET
On Question asked by student community
Have a question related to MAH MCA CET ?
Since you've completed your B.Sc. in Computer Science and scored 95.55 percentile in MAH MCA CET, you’re in a very good position for admission into top MCA colleges in Pune. Based on your percentile and interest in placements, your primary focus should be on colleges with consistently strong academic records and good industry connections.
PICT (Pune Institute of Computer Technology) is one of the most preferred choices for MCA in Pune. It has a strong reputation, good coding culture, and solid placement records. Students here usually get placed in companies like TCS, Infosys, Capgemini, Cognizant, and even some product-based firms. With your percentile, you stand a strong chance of getting in during the early CAP rounds.
VIT Pune (Vishwakarma Institute of Technology) is also a very good option. It offers strong infrastructure, active placement cells, and a decent number of recruiters, especially from IT services and consulting companies. The environment is student-friendly and placement training support is strong.
You should also definitely consider the Department of Computer Science at Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU). It’s a central university department, so the academic reputation is excellent. The placements here are good, and the course is more research and theory oriented, which can also help if you plan to pursue higher studies or R&D roles.
Sinhgad Institutes and MIT-WPU are also good backups. Sinhgad has a decent placement track record, though not at the same level as PICT or VIT. MIT-WPU offers modern curriculum and decent placements, but fee-wise it's on the higher side compared to others.
With 95.55 percentile, you’re well-positioned to target PICT, VIT Pune, and SPPU in your first round of preferences. Just make sure to carefully fill your option form during CAP counselling and keep track of all rounds to increase your chances.
All the best!
Hello there,
Yes, you are eligible to take the MAH MCA CET in 2027 even though you had an ATKT in your Sem 1 B.Sc IT exams, as long as you have cleared it.
The key eligibility points for MAH MCA CET are:
- Final Year Eligibility: Candidates appearing for their final year of graduation are eligible to appear for the CET. Since you'll be in your final year (TYBSc IT) in 2026-2027, you qualify.
-
Bachelor's Degree with Marks:
You need to have a Bachelor's degree (like B.Sc IT) from a recognized university with at least 50% aggregate marks (45% for reserved categories). As long as your overall final degree percentage meets this, your past ATKT, now cleared, won't hinder your eligibility
-
Mathematics Requirement:
You must have studied Mathematics at the 10+2 (Class 12th) level or at the graduation level. As a B.Sc IT student, you would typically meet this.
In short: Clear all your ATKTs before your degree is complete, and ensure your final aggregate percentage meets the minimum criteria. You can then confidently appear for MAH MCA CET in 2027.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
