Hi Supriya,
I can't really comment on the chances. We have had lower MH-CET scores getting admissions in the past. But everything depends on the scores the other Roman Catholic students that enroll for admission. However, you can try through your CMAT scores as well. The chances are good enough. So try and call up the college, and they will schedule an interview with you. There have been instances where a Catholic minority student with 65 percentile has secured admission. However, there is no cut offs for minority as such. The allocation of minority seats depend on interviews and MH-CET merit scores (as in what are the scores of others who have applied through minority.)

I will suggedt that you drop a year and prepare for competitive exams again. Devoting one full year for competitive exam preparation has its own merits and demerits. Dropping a year means that you will get sufficient amount of time to prepare for competitive exams. It will allow you take mock up test and help to score good ranking in competitive exams. However, one year is a long time so the possibility of you may change your goals and objectives. You may become lethargic because of availability of time and lesser pressure. You may waste time. If you are confident of keeping the momentum, dedication, determination, readiness to work on a plan, will to achieve your objective and support of family; you may consider dropping a year for competitive exams. It is worth try option.
