Q: What is the difficulty level of MAH MBA CET?
MAH MBA CET is a moderately difficult exam. It’s difficulty level is lower than CAT but higher than MAT or ATMA. A major factor that makes MAH CET a difficult test to crack is that the questions are presented in random order and sectional weightage vary in every slot. So, candidates cannot anticipate or plan how many and which type of questions to get to their target score.
Also, the MAH MBA CET is dominated by Logical Reasoning questions and there are comparatively less Quantitative Aptitude questions. Since, there is no set pattern, candidates cannot pre-plan. They need to make a strategy and implement it as soon as they see the question paper. So, those who can think on their feet and can crack the exam better than others.
Q: What is the difference between MAH CET marks and MAH CET percentile?
MAH CET score is the total marks awarded to the candidate out of 200. It is calculated on the basis of every correct attempt across all sections of the exam. MAH CET percentile is calculated from the rank of the candidate as compared to rest of the candidates.

The the highest Raw Score in each session (of a candidate) will be 100 percentile indicating that 100 per cent of candidates scored equal to or lesser than the highest scorer for that session. The highest Raw Score is normalized to achieve the MAH CET percentile in the following way:
MBA CET Session | Total Candidates Appeared | the highest Raw Score | Candidates Scored EQUALorLESS THAN the highest Raw Score | MAH MBA CET Percentile Score |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2249 | 154 | 2249 | 100.00 [ (2249/2249)*100] |
2 | 2272 | 157 | 2272 | 100.00 [ (2272/2272)*100] |
3 | 2216 | 149 | 2216 | 100.00 [ (2216/2216)*100] |
Q: What is MAH CET score normalization process?
