The Hidden Side of CET Admissions
4 CAP rounds. 4 different preference lists. One wrong combination and your dream college seat is gone.
Most parents don't even know Non-CAP rounds exist — agents do, and they charge ₹1-3 Lakhs for information that's available for free.
Private colleges create fake urgency to fill seats. Families who panic end up paying lakhs more for colleges they didn't need.
Admissions eat up 2-3 months. First year hits with new subjects, no materials, and no time. Over 40% struggle or fail — and it haunts them till placements.
With You At Every Step
From research to admissions to college prep — everything you need, in one place. No agents, no guesswork, no running around.

Kalpesh Hiwase
Kalpesh Hiwase is the Director of Shooin Stars and a senior admission counselor with over 10 years of experience in MHT-CET Engineering admissions.
He holds a Bachelor's degree in Engineering (B.E.), an MBA, and is a UCLA-Certified Counselor. Before full-time counseling, he worked with Tech Mahindra and Naukri.com — gaining deep exposure to education and career ecosystems.
During his time at Naukri.com, he closely interacted with Training and Placement Officers (TPOs) across Maharashtra and observed a recurring issue: capable students landing in the wrong colleges due to lack of counseling strategy. This realization became the foundation of his mission.
This platform is developed under his direct guidance using official admission data and proven counseling strategies refined over a decade.

Students & Parents Speak
Real families. Real admissions. Real results.
"I'm from Jalgaon and had no idea how preference lists worked. Shooin Stars made it simple — I got Raisoni Pune in CAP and then upgraded to VIT Pune in Non-CAP rounds, all thanks to Kalpesh Sir."
"Difficult for a parent to keep track of the admission process. The Non-CAP info alone saved us from a costly mistake. Shooin Stars helped me immensely — undoubtedly the best counseling for MHT-CET."
"Guest speakers, branch seminars, updates on Non-CAP rounds — the preference list strategies were completely different from my coaching class and they actually worked. Personal counseling helped me get into COEP."
