Hope you understand.


Hey! With 75 percentile in MHT-CET, you have fair chances of getting admission in B.Pharmacy in some Pune and Nashik colleges. For example, colleges like Sinhgad College of Pharmacy (Pune), Indira College of Pharmacy (Pune) and MAEER’s Maharashtra Institute of Pharmacy (Pune) have had closing cut-offs in a similar range. In Nashik also, a few private colleges accept students around this percentile.

Final allotment will also depend on your category (General/OBC/SC/ST), seat availability and the CAP counselling round. I would suggest you to keep both Pune and Nashik options open to increase your chances.
