Hi, @Boopathi S
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
The following are the SCCM Management Point Selection criteria:

1. Proxy MP if the client is part of a secondary server
   HTTPS capable in a trusted or local forest
   HTTPS capable NOT in a trusted or local forest
   HTTP capable in a trusted or local forest
   HTTP capable NOT in a trusted or local forest
2. Local MP (within boundary groups if the client is part of multiple boundary groups all boundary groups will be considered as local).
   HTTPS capable in a trusted or local forest
   HTTPS capable NOT in a trusted or local forest
   HTTP capable in a trusted or local forest
   HTTP capable NOT in a trusted or local forest
3. Assigned: Any SCCM MP that is a site system for the client’s assigned site
   HTTPS capable in a trusted or local forest
   HTTPS capable NOT in a trusted or local forest
   HTTP capable in a trusted or local forest
   HTTP capable NOT in a trusted or local forest

SCCM Preferred Management Points setting can significantly change the MP selection criteria from client side.
So we'd better enable "Client prefer to use Management Points specified in boundary group" for preferred Management point option in SCCM console.
