Can I expect any engineering stream in COEP, VJTI or SPIT if my score in mht-cet is 157 out of 200. My first preference is COEP.

Cut off of VJTI is also above 160 for all branches. So, better have to choose other colleges for Engineering. Best of luck :-)

Cut Off of COEP - From 2016 onwards, students have to give MH-CET . So the no. of marks you need to score in CET depends on the branch you are aiming for. Score needed branchwise to be on safer side are as follows:- Comp/IT - 170/200 Extc - 160/200 Mech - 170/200 Electrical - 150/200 Civil - 145/
