Well that depends on the category of student you belong to. For OMS(Outside Maharashtra Students) 15 % seats are there (18 out of 120) till last year. But this time these seats have been opened up for the Mumbai candidates also. All the 18 seats are OPEN seats with no reservation as such.
If u belong to the Mumbai Quota , then there is 70 % quota i.e around 72 seats for you. For the Mumbai quota seats there is a WL also and it gets filled up in the subsequent Admission(CAP) rounds conducted by DTE.

But for the All India Quota seats(OMS) uptill last year there isn't any relevance of WL because All the seats are generally filled up in the first round itself.

Well that is not entirely true. Last year the cutoff for Mumbai candidates after CAP-I was 166 marks and that of Maharashtra Univ was also 166. Even if it differs it is only +/- 1 marks or so .

Sonal, wht u have heard is perfectly right !! However for the top colleges it is 1-3 marks difference and as we go lower the difference becomes more prominent

Yes , and because there is so much competition and you lose or get seats on the basis of even 1 marks it is imperative to score good marks in GD/PI stage.
Thats why it makes sense to prepare well for the GD/PI process also. You should be aiming for atleast 28/29 in the GD/Pi out of 34. People generally tend to give more importance to CET and post that don't prepare well for the GD?PI process.
And in the end this 1 marks can be the difference between u and JB......
