Step 1: Distribution of Examinees in 2 Days and in 2 Shifts per Day: Candidates would be distributed into four sessions randomly so that each session has approximately equal number of candidates. Suppose: Session-1: Day-1 Batch 1 (D1-B1), Session-2: Day-1 Batch-2 (D1-B2), Session-3: Day-1 Batch 3 (D1-B3).
Step-2: Preparation of Results for each Session: The examination results for each session would be prepared in the form of Raw Scores.
Total Percentile (TP) = 100 X No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score equal to or less than T1 score
Total No. of Candidates appeared for the session
Step-3: Compilation of Total CET score: The Percentile scores for the Total Raw Score for all the four sessions (Session- 1: Day-1 Batch 1-1, Session-2: Day-1 batch-2 and Session-3: Day-1 Batch-3 as calculated in Step-2 above would be merged and shall be called the CET Percentile scores which will then be used for compilation of result.
The Percentile of all four sessions will be calculated separately for the total raw score.
MH CET Law 2025 Score Calculation in Simple Words
First of all, the CET Cell Maharashtra will consider all the candidates who appear in a particular slot or batch as a group and determine the mean and standard deviation for the total number of candidates in this group. Then, the exam authority will calculate the mean and standard deviation for candidates in all slots (sessions) individually.
The Maharashtra CET examination cell conducts the MHCET Law exam for admission to the LLB programs offered at the colleges in Maharashtra. The exam is conducted at the designated centres across the state and nearby cities. Candidates who register for the exam will only be issued the admit cards and given the chance to appear for it.
In the next step, the standard score of each candidate will be calculated using the Standard Score Formula mentioned above. Thereafter, an equated score will be calculated for all the candidates. If the score of a candidate is in decimal, it will be rounded off to the nearest whole number. If the score of a test-taker is 124.9188199 in the MH CET Law 2025 exam, it will be rounded off to 125, which will be the final score.
Example: Suppose a test was held in 3 sessions of examinees as per details given below: (Allocation of Days and shifts were done randomly).
Distribution of candidates was as follows: Session 1: Day 1 Batch 1 (D1-B1), Session 2: Day 1 Batch 2 (D1-B2), Session 3: Day 1 Batch 3 (D1-B3).
