Commonly asked questions
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:   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:   Is there any negative marking in MH CET law?
A: 

There's no negative marking in the MH CET Law exam, whether it's for the 3-year LLB or the 5-year LLB course. You don't lose marks for any wrong or skipped question, so you can try every one of them without worry.

The paper has around 120 to 150 questions, depending on the exam type and year, and you can attempt all without fear of losing marks.

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

Commonly asked questions
Q:   How to check marks obtained in MHCET Law?
A: 

To see your MH CET Law result for 3-year or 5-year LLB, go to the official CET Cell website at cetcell.mahacet.org. Then open the LLB course section and click on the result link.

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.

Q:   How will the authorities prepare the MHCET Law final answer key?
A: 

The State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra makes the final MH CET Law answer key after checking all the objections sent by students through the online portal. These are looked at by subject experts, and any mistakes in the provisional key get fixed.

Once everything is checked, the final answer key is published, and it's used to decide the final scores of every student.

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&A Icon
Commonly asked questions
Q:   Are six months enough to prepare for MHCET Law?
A: 

Yes, six months is a good time to prepare for the MH CET Law exam. It gives enough days for both 3-year and 5-year LLB courses. Study daily with focus on Legal Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, and English. Keep giving mock tests often. A steady plan and regular practice can bring a high score in MH CET Law exam.

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.

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.
