How to Calculate MHCET 2026 Marks

The MHCET law answer key is the basis for calculating the marks secured by the candidate. Find out how the examination body calculates the marks of 3-year LLB and 5-year LLB courses. A few steps have been provided below to provide clarity to the aspirants: 

Step 1: Distribution of Examinees in 2 Days and in 2 Shifts Equally per Day: As the candidates will be distributed into four sessions, each session has approximately an 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 will 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 scores: The Percentile scores for the Total Raw Score for all four sessions will be merged. This score is known as the CET Percentile score, which will then be used for the compilation of the MHCET Law results

MHCET Law 2026 Marks Vs Percentile Vs Rank

All three components, MHCET Law marks, MHCET Law percentile, and MHCET Law rank, are correlated. Take a look at the key difference among them:

MHCET Law Marks MHCET Law Percentile MHCET Law Rank
It defines the actual marks scored by a candidate in the exam It shows the percentage of candidates who scored equal to or less than you in the exam It is the position/rank that you have gained among all the applicants who appeared in the exam

Let's say, for example, that a candidate has the following result based on his/her performance in the exam:

  • MHCET Law Marks: 110 out of 120 marks
  • MHCET Law Percentile: 99 
  • MHCET Law Rank: 90th

This data shows that the candidate has secured 110 marks out of 120 overall marks. With these scores, he/she has secured 99 percentile in the exam. This percentile has helped him/her earn a 90th rank. This entire data will be considered at the time of MHCET Law counselling for either the 3-year or 5-year LLB Course. A candidate with this rank is eligible for admission to the top MHCET Law colleges, such as GLC Mumbai or ILS Pune

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:   What is the difference between Percentile Scores and Marks in MH CET Law?
A: 

Percentile scores are based on the relative performance of all those who appear for the examination. Basically, the marks obtained are transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees.
Basically, the Percentile Score indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored EQUAL TO OR BELOW (same or lower raw scores) that particular Percentile in that examination. 

However, marks are the raw scores obtained in the examination by the candidates. Based on these raw scores/ marks, percentile score in the range of 0-100 is calculated to measure each candidates' performance without any bias due to different difficulty levels. 

Q:   Is there any negative marking in MH CET law?
A:
