According to the definition shared by the Maharashtra CET, "the Percentile Score indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored EQUAL TO OR BELOW (same or lower raw scores) that particular Percentile in that examination. Therefore the topper (highest score) of each session will get the same Percentile of 100 which is desirable.”
Marks obtained in between the highest and lowest scores are also converted to percentiles for preparing the MAH CET rank-list.
In MAH CET MBA/MMS, the percentile score will be the Normalised Score (instead of the raw marks scored). The MAH MBA CET Percentile Scores will be calculated up to seven decimal places. The formula for Percentile score calculation is:
100 x (No. of candidates in a session with raw score ≤ the candidate’s score)
Total number of candidates in the session
Sectional percentiles will also be calculated by the same formula. Candidates must note that MAH CET percentile is not the same as percentage of marks obtained.
