To hit the projected OBC MHT CET cutoff, candidates need to target a specific raw score of 130+. Given the increased difficulty and applicant number, the 2026 marks-to-percentile ratio is expected to be:
| Target Percentile | Required Marks (Out of 200) | Admission Chance (OBC) |
| 99.5+ | 160 – 175 | Guaranteed B.Pharm/Chemical |
| 98.0+ | 145 – 155 | Safe for Food/Polymer/Pharma Tech |
| 95.0+ | 125 – 135 | Safe for Surface/Oleo/Dyestuff |
| 92.0+ | 110 – 120 | Only Textiles / Spot Rounds |

Ques. What is the minimum MHT CET cutoff for OBC candidates in MHT CET 2026?
Ans. To be eligible for the CAP, OBC candidates must score at least 40% –-80 out of 200 marks in the MHT CET. However, this only grants eligibility; actual admission to ICT Mumbai requires a much higher percentile, typically 95+.
Ques. Can I get into ICT Mumbai with a 90th percentile as an OBC candidate?
Ans. According to historical data and Reddit discussions, a 90th percentile is not sufficient for core branches like Chemical Engineering or B.Pharm. You may have a slim chance in branches like Fibres & Textiles Processing Technology or Dyestuff Technology during the Spot Round in ICT.
