MAH MBA CET is a moderately difficult exam. It's difficulty level is lower than CAT but higher than MAT or ATMA. A major factor that makes MAH CET a difficult test to crack is that questions are presented in random order and sectional weightage vary in every slot. So, candidates cannot anticipate or plan how many and which type of questions to get to their target score.
Also, MAH MBA CET is dominated by Logical Reasoning questions and there are comparatively less Quantitative Aptitude questions. Since, there is no set pattern, candidates cannot pre-plan. They need to make a strategy and implement it as soon as they see question paper. So, those who can think on their feet and can crack exam better than others.
Note: Info is taken from other sources and can be different.
MAH CET score is the total marks awarded to the candidate out of 200. It is calculated on the basis of every correct attempt across all sections of the exam. MAH CET percentile is calculated from the rank of the candidate as compared to rest of the candidates.
MBA CET percentile score is calculated from the highest raw score in each session of the MAH MBA CET. The the highest Raw Score in each session (of a candidate) will be 100 percentile indicating that 100 per cent of candidates scored equal to or lesser than the highest scorer for that session. The highest Raw Score is normalized to achieve the MAH CET percentile in the following way:
MBA CET Session | Total Candidates Appeared | the highest Raw Score | Candidates Scored EQUALorLESS THAN the highest Raw Score | MAH MBA CET Percentile Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2249 | 154 | 2249 | 100.00 [ (2249/2249)*100] |
2 | 2272 | 157 | 2272 | 100.00 [ (2272/2272)*100] |
3 | 2216 | 149 | 2216 | 100.00 [ (2216/2216)*100] |
MAH CET score normalization process is undertaken to ensure that all candidates are judged on the same plane. This is done because MAH MBA CET is a multi-session exam and it may be possible that one session can be slighter easier or tougher than another.
MAH CET score normalization ensures that no candidate has an advantage or disadvantage over another due to differences in difficulty level of their exam session. So, before the preparation of the MBA CET result and merit list, the Maharashtra CET normalizes the exam scores. Percentile scores are scores based on the relative performance of all candidates who appear for MAH CET. Basically, the marks obtained by every candidate are transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session.
