Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

CETPredict.in is designed as a free, no-registration-required tool for Maharashtra engineering aspirants.

When you use our predictor, you voluntarily enter information such as your MHT CET percentile, reservation category (e.g., OPEN, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, TFWS), gender preference, preferred branches, and preferred cities. This data is processed either on your device (client-side) or sent temporarily to our servers solely for the purpose of generating your prediction results. We do not permanently store or associate this input data with any individual identity.

If you choose to contact us via our Contact Us page, you may voluntarily provide your name, email address, and message content. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.
