The MHT CET 2026 session 1 exam is ongoing. Students who are appearing in the exam have questions about the percentile scores they would get for the marks they are scoring. Check what 70 marks in the MHT CET 2026 exam will be, as per the previous year's analysis below.
70 Marks in MHT CET Percentile 2026: Candidates can check a detailed analysis here of how many marks 70 will be in the MHT CET percentile. If you are expecting 70 marks in MHT CET 2026, then you might want to know what percentile you will get in the exam. The MHT CET 2026 percentile will determine what rank you might get in the MHT CET exam. As per experts, 70 marks in MHT CET can be around 75 to 85 percentile.
The CET Cell uses a normalisation formula to determine the percentile score, which uses various factors such as the total number of candidates and the highest marks achieved during a shift. Since the calculation of the MHT CET percentile score relies on parameters that are only available after the results are announced, accurately predicting the MHT CET percentile for a score of 70 marks in the exam is challenging. However, experts from Shiksha have thoroughly examined the marks versus percentile data from previous years of the MHT CET to provide an anticipated percentile for scoring 70 marks in the MHT CET 2026.

How is the MHT CET Percentile Calculated?
The CET cell announces the MHT CET results of candidates using percentile scores. The percentile is determined based on the scores of candidates across all three subjects. Following the exam, candidates often wonder what their percentile score will be and how their marks relate to that percentile. Check the process below that CET cell uses to calculate the MHT CET percentile scores.
The first step in the calculation of the MHT CET percentile is the calculation of raw scores using the MHT CET marking scheme:
To calculate the actual score of candidates, the MHT CET marking scheme is followed. The marking scheme of MHT CET exam is.
- +2 for correct answers in Maths paper
- +1 for the correct answer in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology papers
- No negative marking for any wrong answer or unattempted questions
The next step is converting the raw scores into percentile scores:
The CET cell uses a specific formula to convert the raw marks of the candidates to a percentile score. A similar method of calculating marks is also employed in several other major entrance examinations such as JEE Main. The formula used is as follows:
The percentile scores for MHT CET 2026 will indicate the proportion of candidates who have achieved a score lower than that specific score in the exam. To reduce the chances of ties, the calculation of the percentile score will be precise up to five decimal places.
