A seat prediction tool for Maharashtra's engineering entrance exam that helps students forecast admission odds and track merit positions across counseling rounds.

The pain

Students applying through MHT CET face uncertainty about admission chances across 3-4 counseling rounds. They manually track merit lists, calculate cutoffs, and guess which colleges they'll get into. This creates anxiety and poor strategy decisions, students either aim too low or waste rounds on unrealistic targets.

The gap

No dedicated tool exists for MHT CET specifically. Generic college predictor tools don't account for Maharashtra's unique round-by-round seat dynamics, category-wise cutoffs, or the rapid merit list updates. Students rely on forums, coaching centers, or spreadsheets.

Build angle

Start with a free web tool that ingests official merit lists and seat matrices, then shows students their predicted college/branch based on their rank and category. Charge premium for: round-by-round strategy recommendations, historical cutoff analysis, and alerts when merit lists update. Target coaching centers as B2B channel for student distribution.

Strengths

  • Narrow, specific market, MHT CET is Maharashtra-only with ~400k annual applicants, making it easier to dominate than national exams
  • Recurring annual demand with predictable timing (June-August counseling window)
  • High intent audience, students actively searching 'mht cet 2026' are in decision mode, not browsing
  • Data is public, merit lists and seat matrices are published by DTE Maharashtra, no licensing needed
  • Coaching centers have budget and distribution channels to students

Risks

  • Prediction accuracy depends on historical data quality; if cutoffs shift significantly year-to-year, tool loses credibility fast
  • Extremely seasonal, revenue concentrated in 2-3 months annually; hard to build sustainable business
  • Low willingness to pay, students expect free tools; premium features may not convert at scale
  • Regulatory risk, DTE Maharashtra could restrict data scraping or launch their own official predictor
  • Tiny addressable market, 400k students annually vs. millions for JEE/NEET; hard to justify venture funding
  • High churn, each student uses tool once per year for 2-3 months, then disappears
