MAH CET Normalization Method 2025 for BBA, BCA, BBM, BMS, & Other Courses
Maharashtra BBA Common Entrance Test 2025 ( MAH BBA CET )
MAH BBA/BCA/BBM/BBS CET score normalisation assesses the candidate’s performance across different exam sessions on a standardized scale. Read the article below to know how will the MAH BBA/BCA/BBM/BBS CET 2025 score be normalised.
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 was conducted in multiple shifts on April 29, April 30 and May 2, 2025. The candidates who appeared for the exam were given a raw score, but the MAH BBA CET result 2025 is not solely prepared based on raw scores, i.e. a total of correct and incorrect answers marked by the candidate. Therefore, the candidates are assessed across different sessions on a standardized scale. The registration window for MAH BBA CET counselling will likely open in August 2025.

Candidates will be given different sets of questions in each shift. Despite efforts to maintain consistency across various question papers, the difficulty levels may still vary. To address this, a Normalization Method has been employed by the exam conducting authorities to ensure that candidates are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by the differing levels of difficulty in the examination.

What is the MAH BBA CET Normalization Method?
MAH BBA CET normalization method is an established practice adopted by the exam conducting authority, State CET Cell to compare the scores of the candidates in multiple shift papers. The raw scores of the candidates in all three shifts are normalized on a standardized scale. The MAH BBA CET normalization process is similar to those which are adopted by other large educational selection tests across India.

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.
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 |
2249 |
2399 |
144 |
1 |
| Session 2 |
D1 B2 |
186 |
2272 |
2458 |
147 |
0 |
| Session 3 |
D1 B3 |
215 |
2216 |
2431 |
149 |
0 |
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:
| Session |
Total Candidates Appeared |
Highest Raw Score |
Candidates Who Scored EQUAL OR LESS THAN Highest Raw Score |
Percentile Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |
2249 |
144 |
2249 |
100.0000000 [(2249/2249)*100] |
| 2 |
2272 |
147 |
2272 |
100.0000000 [(2272/2272)*100] |

149 |
2216 |
100.0000000 [(2216/2216)*100] |
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.
