MAH BHMCT CET Cut Off 2026 (Expected)

The MAH BHMCT CET Cut Off 2026 is kind of expected to stay close to what you seen in the past years, and most top colleges still look for pretty high percentiles. If you want to get into premium BHMCT colleges in Maharashtra, you should try for around 90–97 percentile, because that usually gives you a strong place in the merit list. Cutoffs keeps changing a bit every year since the exam difficulty and number of students appearing doesn’t stay the same, so you really gotta keep your preparation steady.

Some mid-level and private institutes don’t ask for such high percentiles, so it becomes easier for more students to get in there. The MAH HM CET 2026 merit list that comes out later will finally decide the exact cutoff for every college, so nothing is confirmed until that shows up. Till then, these expected cutoff ranges kind of help you plan what colleges you want to keep in your list.

No. There is no negative marking in either the BHMCT or MHMCT CET. Incorrect and unattempted answers both result in zero marks. Candidates should attempt all questions.
