- The MAH CET 2026 score is valid for admission in the 2026–27 academic year only. It cannot be used for any future batch.
Ques. For how long is the MAH CET 2026 score valid?
Ans. The MAH CET 2026 score is valid for one academic year only — 2026–27. You can use it only for MBA/MMS admissions in Maharashtra for the 2026 batch. It cannot be carried over to 2027–28.
MAH CET 2026 Normalisation and Percentile Calculation
MAH CET 2026 was conducted in multiple shifts across two sessions. Because paper difficulty can vary between shifts, CET Cell normalises all raw scores before publishing results.
- Understanding this process helps you make sense of your scorecard.
- A score of 166 out of 200 typically converts to the 100th percentile in MAH CET, based on previous year trends. Scores in the 155–165 range equate to 99.99+ percentile.
Step 1: Raw Score Calculation
Your raw score (called "Corrected Score") is the simple count of questions you answered correctly.
- There is no negative marking in MAH CET, so every correct answer gives +1 mark, and wrong or unattempted answers give 0. The total is out of 200.
Step 2: Normalisation to Equated Score
Since different sessions may have had different difficulty levels, CET Cell converts raw scores to "Equated Scores" using a normalisation formula.
- This makes scores comparable across all sessions and shifts. The formula considers the mean and standard deviation of scores across all slots.
Step 3: Percentile Calculation
Your percentile is calculated from your Equated Score using this formula:
Percentile = [(Number of students who scored less than you) ÷ (Total students appeared)] × 100
Slot-wise and overall percentiles are reported up to two decimal places.
- If you appeared for both sessions, CET Cell takes the higher percentile from either attempt as your final score for merit list and CAP purposes.
Ques. Is revaluation or rechecking of MAH CET 2026 scores allowed?
Ans. No. CET Cell Maharashtra does not allow any revaluation or rechecking of MAH CET scores. The marks and percentile shown on your scorecard are final. If there is an error in personal details (not marks), contact the helpdesk at 18002129422.
MAH CET 2026 Expected Cutoff

Ques. Can OMS (Outside Maharashtra State) students participate in CAP 2026?
Ans. Yes. OMS students can participate in CAP 2026 but must have a valid MAH CET 2026 score and a valid score in at least one of CAT / GMAT / CMAT / MAT / XAT / ATMA. OMS cutoffs are typically higher than Maharashtra State cutoffs for the same college.
MAH CET Result 2026 FAQs
Ques. When will the MAH CET 2026 result be declared?
Ans. The MAH CET 2026 result (MBA/MMS) is expected in the first week of June 2026 at cetcell.mahacet.org. Based on the 2025 trend — where the result came 55 days after the last exam date — June 1, 2026 is the most likely date. No official announcement has been made yet.
Ques. What does the MAH CET 2026 scorecard show?
Ans. The scorecard shows your name, roll number, category (MS or OMS), exam date and session, scaled (equated) score, percentile, and result declaration date. It does not show section-wise marks separately. The percentile is the key metric for CAP admission.
Ques. Why is my scorecard showing an equated score instead of my raw marks?
Ans. MAH CET runs in multiple sessions with different papers. To fairly compare all students, CET Cell normalises raw scores using a statistical formula. The normalised score is called the Equated Score. Your percentile is calculated from this equated score — not from raw marks.
Ques. What percentile do I need to get into JBIMS, Mumbai?
Ans. JBIMS is the most competitive MAH CET college. Based on 2025 and 2024 data, you need 99.97–99.99+ percentile for Maharashtra State category and 99.99+ for All India category in CAP Round 1. Even a fraction of a percentile drop can push you out of contention at this level.
Ques. What is a good score in MAH CET 2026?
Ans. It depends on your target college. For the absolute top colleges (JBIMS, SIMSREE), you need 99.90+ percentile. For mid-tier reputed colleges (KJ Somaiya, Welingkar), 99.50–99.70 percentile is competitive. Scores above 140–150 out of 200 (equivalent to roughly 99.80–99.99 percentile) are considered excellent, while 90–99 percentile opens good private and government college options.
Ques. What documents are needed for MAH CET CAP 2026 registration?
Ans. Keep these ready: MAH CET 2026 scorecard, Class 10 and 12 mark sheets, graduation mark sheet (all years), domicile certificate (for MS category), category certificate (OBC/SC/ST/EWS if applicable), valid photo ID (Aadhaar, Voter ID, or Passport), and OMS score proof (CAT/GMAT/CMAT etc. for OMS candidates).
Ques. I appeared for both Session 1 and Session 2. Which score will be used?
Ans. The higher percentile from either session will be used for your merit list and CAP admission. CET Cell does not average your scores — only the better of the two counts.
