Maharashtra's tracked list runs private- and deemed-university heavy — those two types together outnumber state, IIT, NIT and every other institute type combined in our Maharashtra data. IIT Bombay anchors the NIRF-ranked set at #3 nationally, with Institute of Chemical Technology, Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology Nagpur, Symbiosis International and COEP Technological University following.
Admissions split three ways here: JoSAA for IIT Bombay, VNIT Nagpur and Maharashtra's GFTIs/IIITs; the state CET system for Maharashtra's state universities; and independent entrance exams for most private and deemed institutes. We label each institute's pathway individually rather than assuming state CET applies everywhere.
