Commonly asked questions
Q:   What is MH CET Law Normalization Method to calculate scores?
A: 

Normalization process is an established practice for comparing candidate scores across multiple shift papers. There are possibilities of different level of difficulties in each shift for the same exam, however to tackle this scenario, the Normalization Method will be used to calculate the MH CET Law 3-year and 5-year LLB results.

Step 1: 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: 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: 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.

Q:   When will the MH CET Law 2026 answer key for the 3-year LLB course be released?
A: 

The MH CET Law 2026 answer key for the 3-year LLB course will be released within a few days of the exam. Candidates can raise objections to answer key during the answer key objection window. The fee per objection is INR 1,000.

Q:   What is a good score in MH CET Law exam?
A: 

As per the previous year trends, the score above 99 will be considered a good score for both 3-year and 5-year LLB programs. However, the good score depends on many factors such as targetted college, category of the candidate, reservation policy, and the overall performance of the candidate. For admission to top law colleges accepting MH Law CET score, the cut off score is declared which also depends on the number of the candidate and difficulty level of the papers.

How is MHCET Law 2026 Percentile Calculated?

The MH CET Law Normalization Process is used to calculate the scores of candidates who appeared for the exam on different days and shifts. This process ensures that a fair and balanced evaluation is done, keeping in mind the exam difficulty level experienced by the candidates in multiple shiftsIf one shift was tougher than another, the scores of students from that shift are slightly increased to make them equal for everyone. The process ensures that no candidate is at a disadvantage just because their paper was harder or easier. After normalization, the final scores are used to prepare the MH CET Law merit list and cutoff for both 3-year and 5-year LLB programs. This method helps maintain fairness and transparency in the MH CET Law result and admission process. This formula is used to calculate the percentile: 

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

Q&A Icon
Commonly asked questions
Q:   What is the cut off for Maharashtra law University?
A: 

For MNLU Mumbai (CLAT), you usually need to be in the top 500–600 ranks, which is around 90–95+ marks out of 120 for General All India candidates. The closing rank often goes near 1473 by the third round. In MH CET Law, getting around 115–120+ marks is mostly safe if you're aiming for top law colleges in Maharashtra. The cutoff marks can change depending on your category and which MNLU campus you choose — Mumbai, Nagpur, or Aurangabad.

Q:   What is the cut off for New Law College Mumbai?
A: 

Modern Education Society's New Law College (NLC), Mumbai takes admission for the 3-year LLB course through the Maharashtra Law Common Entrance Test (MH CET Law). If you're from the general category, getting around 115+ marks gives you a strong chance of getting in. Even with 100+ marks, you still have a fair shot at admission depending on the cutoff that year.

Q:   What is the expected MHCET Law cutoff?
A: 

For MHCET Law 2025 (5-year LLB), getting around 90 to 100+ marks is usually seen as a strong score for top colleges. If you're aiming for ILS Pune or other top law institutes, you mostly need a 98 percentile or higher to stay safe.

For the 3-year LLB, a score above 115 marks often puts you in the top range for the best colleges. Even if you get 100+, it's still quite competitive and can get you into good law schools.

These numbers can change a bit each year, but keeping your target near those marks gives you a solid chance at top MHCET Law colleges.
