MHT CET Result 2026 Expected Soon: Check Scorecard, Percentile Score Calculation and Admission Process

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell is expected to announce the MHT CET Result 2026 shortly on its official website. Candidates who appeared for the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test will be able to access their scorecards online through the official portal, cetcell.mahacet.org, using their registration credentials.

The MHT CET 2026 score is a crucial factor for admission to undergraduate programmes in Engineering, Technology, Planning, Pharmacy, and integrated Master of Engineering and Technology courses offered by colleges across Maharashtra for the 2026-27 academic session.

This year, the examination was conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode and, for the first time, candidates were given the opportunity to appear in two attempts. The State CET Cell has already clarified that for candidates who appeared in both attempts, the best score will be considered while preparing the final result.

MHT CET 2026 Exam Dates

The examination was conducted in two phases:

PCM Group

• Exam Dates: April 11 to April 20, 2026

PCB Group

• Exam Dates: April 21 to April 26, 2026

Thousands of candidates appeared for the entrance examination across various test centres in Maharashtra.

How Percentile Scores Are Calculated

The MHT CET result is declared in the form of percentile scores rather than raw marks.

• A percentile score indicates the percentage of candidates who scored equal to or below a particular candidate in the examination.

Percentile Calculation Formula

The percentile score is calculated based on the candidate's relative performance compared to all candidates who appeared in a particular session.

A higher percentile reflects better performance and improves admission prospects during counselling.

Normalisation Process

Since the examination is conducted across multiple sessions with varying difficulty levels, the CET Cell uses a normalization process to ensure fairness.

The normalization process:

• Adjusts for differences in question paper difficulty.
• Ensures candidates are evaluated on a common scale.
• Helps maintain uniformity across different shifts.

This method ensures that no candidate is disadvantaged because of the session allotted to them.

How Final Scores Are Declared

For candidates who appeared in both attempts:

• The best percentile score obtained across attempts will be considered.
• The higher score will be reflected in the final result.
• Separate merit lists will be prepared for PCM and PCB groups.

This approach gives candidates an additional opportunity to improve their performance.
