MHT CET 2026 Normalization Process

The MHT CET examination is conducted over multiple days and shifts. Naturally, some shifts may be more difficult while others may be comparatively easier. To eliminate this variation and ensure equal opportunity for all candidates, the CET Cell uses the Normalization Process.

• How Best of Two Scores Will Be Calculated? Since the examination was conducted in two sessions this year, the normalization system and rules have also been revised. Under the new policy, candidates who appeared in both sessions (Attempt 1 and Attempt 2) will not face any disadvantage. After normalization, the higher overall percentile score (Best of Two) obtained in either session will be considered valid for final admission and the Centralized Admission Process (CAP) counseling. This percentile is calculated by converting the candidate’s raw marks into a score on a scale of 100 using a standardized formula.

MHT CET 2026 Marks vs Percentile (Expected)

Based on this year’s paper analysis and expert predictions, the following expected marks vs percentile trends have emerged. However, the final percentile also depends on the difficulty level of each shift.

• 145 – 160+ Marks: Candidates scoring in this range are expected to achieve 99+ Percentile, significantly improving their chances of securing Computer Science (CSE) and other top branches in premier government institutes such as COEP and VJTI.
• 110 – 130 Marks: Students in this range can comfortably fall within the 95 to 98 Percentile bracket, which is generally considered a safe score for admission to top private engineering colleges in Maharashtra.
• 85 – 100 Marks: Candidates in this range are expected to achieve approximately 90 to 95 Percentile.
• 70 – 85 Marks: Students may secure around 82 to 89 Percentile in this score range.
• 50 – 70 Marks: Candidates scoring 50 marks or above may still achieve around 70 to 80 Percentile after normalization, making them eligible to participate in the counseling process.
