Official CAP Data Makes an MHT-CET College Predictor Safer
Compare your percentile and State General Merit Number with one matching official Maharashtra CAP cutoff row. Keep the source year and CAP round visible while you decide whether the course belongs in your draft preference list.

Above the selected cutoffThis is a comparison result only. Check the same official context before placing the option.
- Merit-number margin against selected cutoff
- 10,000
Assumptions
- This calculator compares one user-entered official cutoff record at a time. It does not estimate a percentile from marks or create a future cutoff.
- The planning band is a transparent convention based only on the percentile-point margin. It is not an admission probability.
- A positive merit-number margin means the candidate’s State General Merit Number is lower than the selected cutoff merit number.
- The editable defaults demonstrate the formula only. Replace them with official values from a single matching source record.
- Use the same source year, CAP round, seat code and candidature context for every comparison.

In brief
Compare your MHT-CET percentile and State General Merit Number with one matching official CAP cutoff record before adding that course to a draft preference list. The result is a planning band, not an admission decision, because official allotment depends on merit, options, seats and document checks.
Worked example at the defaults
With Your MHT-CET percentile at 90, Selected official cutoff percentile at 88, Your State General Merit Number at 40,000, Selected official cutoff merit number at 50,000, Official CAP round used at CAP Round IV:
- Percentile-point margin against selected cutoff
- 2
- Merit-number margin against selected cutoff
- 10,000
Read the result before you build your official list
The calculation subtracts the selected official cutoff percentile from your percentile. It separately subtracts your State General Merit Number from the selected cutoff merit number. No score-to-rank conversion, forecast or hidden weighting is used.
The State CET Cell’s 2026–27 information brochure permits 1 to 300 options in decreasing order of preference and says CAP Rounds I–IV use computerised allotment. The brochure also says allotment for Maharashtra State candidates depends on inter-se merit, options filled and seats available.
