Factors Affecting MHCET Law Cut off 2026

The cut-off for MHCET law 2026 is affected by the following factors. Note that the parameters mentioned above are variables and if any of these changes, the MH-CET cutoff would also change. For instance, if the number of applicants increases, there is every chance the cutoff would be higher. Likewise, if more higher-ranked candidates apply, the cutoff would again go up.

  • Level of questions asked in the exam
  • Total number of test-takers
  • The ranks acheived by the applicants
  •  Total number of seats available
  • Total number of applications received for admission

Also, typically colleges that are higher ranked or have a positive reputation, tend to attract higher-ranked candidates and also more applications. So, the cutoff for these institutes tends to be higher.
