MAH CET Normalization Process for UG Courses
MAH BBA CET score normalization process: The Maharashtra State CET Cell will conduct the MAH CET 2025 exam for undergraduate courses. The exam will be conducted in multiple shifts on April 1, April 2 and April 3, 2025.

What is MAH BBA CET Percentile Scores?
Percentile scores are calculated based on the relative performance of all candidates appearing for the exam. Essentially, the raw marks obtained by the candidates are transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees.
A Percentile Score reflects the percentage of candidates who have scored equal to or below a particular percentile. Consequently, the highest scorer in each session will achieve a Percentile Score of 100, which is the desired outcome. Scores between the highest and lowest are also converted into corresponding percentiles.
Q: Which items can I carry to the MAH BBA CET exam centre?
Candidates must carry the MAH BBA CET admit card to the exam centre. Candidates must also carry a government-issued photo ID proof for the verification process at the MAH CET test centre. Candidates must not carry any other item to the exam centre. Every candidate can also carry a simple blue or black ball point pen to the exam centre.

To minimize ties and bunching effects, Percentile Scores are calculated up to seven decimal places. The MAH CET BBA/BCA/BBM percentile score is the normalized score. The Percentile score of a candidate is calculated as follows:
100 X (No. of candidates who appeared in the session with raw score < the candidate’s score)
Total No. of Candidates in the Session
Note: The percentile scores are not the percentages
MAH BBA CET Percentile Calculation
Here’s an example of MAH CET percentile calculation explaining the process:
| MAH BBA CET Session |
Day/Batch |
Candidates Absent |
Candidates Present |
Total |
Highest Marks |
Lowest Marks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Session 1 |
D1 B1 |
150 |

147 |
0 |
| Session 3 |
D1 B3 |
215 |
2216 |
2431 |
149 |

Here, the highest raw score in each session will be 100 percentile (irrespective of raw scores) indicating that 100% of the candidates have secured equal to or lesser than the highest scorer for that session.
Highest Raw Score and Percentile Score Normalization
All the highest scores will be normalized for their respective sessions:

MAH BBA CET Score Normalization Process and Preparation of Percentile
The following steps will be undertaken for the MAH BBA CET score normalization and percentile preparation:
Step 1: Distribution of examinees
The candidates will be distributed into three sessions of the MAH BBA CET exam in a way that each session has approximately equal number of examinees. The sessions will be as follows:
Session 1: Day 1 Batch 1 (D1B1)
Session 2: Day 1 Batch 2 (D1B2)
Session 3: Day 1 Batch 3 (D1B3)
This is done to ensure an unbiased distribution of candidates appearing for the exam.
Step 2: Preparation of Results (Session-wise)
The MAH BBA CET results for each session will be prepared in the form of raw scores using the below-mentioned formulae:
Total Percentile (TP) =
100 X No. of Candidates from the Session with Raw Score Equal to or Less Than TP score
Total Number of Candidates Appeared in the Session
Step 3: Compilation of Total CET Score
The Percentile scores for the Total Raw Score from all three sessions (Session-1: D1B1, Session-2: D1B2, and Session-3: D1B3, as calculated in Step 2) will be combined and referred to as the MAH BBA CET Percentile scores. These scores will then be used to compile the final MAH BBA CET results 2025. The Percentile scores for each session will be calculated separately based on the Total Raw Score, and then these Percentile scores will be merged to prepare the final CET scores.
