What is the MAH MBA CET 2026 Provisional Merit List?
The MAH MBA CET 2026 Provisional Merit List is a preliminary rank list published by CET Cell Maharashtra after the exam result is declared. It ranks all qualified students by their score out of 200 marks and assigns two key identifiers:
- State Merit Number (SMN): Your overall rank among all qualified students in Maharashtra.
- Category Merit Number (CMN): Your rank within your specific reservation category such as SC, ST, OBC, EWS, or General.
The provisional list is open for revision. CET Cell Maharashtra allows students to report errors — wrong category, incorrect domicile status, or personal detail mismatches — during the grievance window that follows the provisional release. After resolving all objections, the authority publishes the Final Merit List, which is the document used for seat allotment across all MBA and MMS colleges participating in Maharashtra’s Centralized Admission Process.
