Candidates preparing for the MHT CET 2027 exam might be curious about the percentile linked to their expected scores. Check here last year’s analysis to know what achieving 80 marks in the MHT CET 2027 exam would mean.
80 marks in MHT CET Percentile 2027
80 marks in MHT CET Percentile 2027: If you are expecting a score of 80 marks in MHT CET 2027, you might be wondering what percentile that translates to. Based on expert analysis and past trends, an 80 marks typically corresponds to approximately the 85th percentile. However, because the State CET Cell calculates percentiles using a normalization process, factoring in shift difficulty, total candidates, and top scores, exact percentiles will only be confirmed once official results are declared. However, experts at Shiksha have analysed past data to provide an estimated percentile for a score of 80 marks in MHT CET 2027 and the same can be referred to on this page.

How is the MHT CET Percentile Calculated?
The CET cell announces MHT CET result using percentile scores based on candidates' marks in three subjects. After the exam, candidates often seek to understand their percentile and its relation to their scores. Here's how the CET cell calculates these scores.
The calculation of MHT CET percentile involves calculating raw scores based on the MHT CET marking scheme. To get the actual scores of candidates, the MHT CET marking criteria are used. The marking criteria for the MHT CET exam include:
- +2 points for each correct answer in the Maths paper,
- +1 point for each correct answer in the Physics, Chemistry, and Biology papers, and there is no negative marking for incorrect responses or questions that are not attempted.
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 MHT CET 2027 percentile scores will show the proportion of candidates scoring lower than a specific score, calculated precisely to five decimal places to minimize ties.

What is 80 marks in MHT CET Percentile?
As per the past few years' analysis, the MHT CET marks vs percentile are as follows:
| MHT CET Marks |
MHT CET Percentile |
|---|---|
| 80-90 |
85-95 |
| 60-80 |
65-85 |
- From the above table, it is clear that 80 marks in the MHT CET 2027 exam can be around 85 percentile.
Commonly asked questions
With 97.5 percentile in MHT-CET, you have a strong chance to get admission in reputed colleges like PICT Pune, VIT Pune, SPIT Mumbai, or Thakur College of Engineering for branches such as IT, ECE, or Electrical. COEP and VJTI may be difficult for CSE. Government colleges like WCE Sangli, SGGS Nanded, and GCOE Amravati are also good options. You can get preferred branches in private colleges and core branches in government ones. Your chances further improve if you belong to a reserved category or have home university advantage within Maharashtra.
For the General HS category, the cutoff ranged from 4.33 to 20.54 percentile for M.Tech course specialisations. Therefore, students need to attain at least 4.33 percentile for admissions at COEP Pune. MHT CET M.Tech percentiles are required for admission to M.Tech courses at COEP, Pune.
Students should note that the above mentioned percentile is only valid for the General HS category in the last round. Other rounds and categories will have different minimum qualifying percentiles. To know more, students can click here.
With 120 marks in MHT-CET (General category), you are unlikely to get top colleges/branches (like CSE/IT in COEP, VJTI) but can aim for mid-tier private/university-affiliated colleges in less competitive branches.
The round-wise cutoff ranks for MHT CET counselling can be checked on the counselling website at fe2026.mahacet.org. The cutoff for each round for all the participating institutes and branch is made available on the MHT CET portal. Candidates can also check MHT CET cutoff for all participating colleges on the Shiksha page.
Expected MHT CET Rank for 80 marks and Available Colleges

It is important to check the MH CET 3-year LLB marks versus percentile. This is because college admissions are based strictly on your final percentile rank rather than your raw score.

Sorry, but according to me with 96.09 percentile in MHT-CET through PCB, you cannot get admission to ICT for B.Tech Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology. The cuttoff competitively closes around 99.0 to 99.9 percentile.
