Raw Marks Cannot Yield an Official MHT-CET Percentile

Enter correct answers for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics or Biology. The live result is a raw-score total that helps you choose the next subject to review.

Choose PCM when the third subject is Mathematics, or PCB when the third subject is Biology.

Enter the number of Physics answers you count as correct.

Enter the number of Chemistry answers you count as correct.

Enter Mathematics correct answers for PCM or Biology correct answers for PCB.

Calculated raw score

Official percentile requiredUse the raw score to prioritise your lowest correct-answer count. Use the State CET Cell scorecard for any percentile-based decision.

Mathematics or Biology marks

Assumptions

  • For PCM, Physics and Chemistry correct answers each add 1 mark, while each Mathematics correct answer adds 2 marks.
  • For PCB, Physics, Chemistry and Biology correct answers each add 1 mark.
  • The calculation assumes no negative marking, consistent with the 2026 MHT-CET information brochure.
  • This tool totals raw marks only. It does not estimate an official percentile, rank, college, branch or admission outcome.

In brief

A raw MHT-CET score cannot produce an official percentile because the State CET Cell uses the score distribution within each exam session. Use this calculator to total raw marks and identify the subject to review next, then use the official scorecard for percentile-based decisions.

Worked example at the defaults

With exam group at 1, physics correct answers at 30, chemistry correct answers at 30, mathematics or biology correct answers at 40:

Calculated raw score
140
Mathematics or Biology marks
80

The missing input is the session distribution

As of April 2026, the State CET Cell's MHT-CET result-processing methodology defines total percentile as 100 multiplied by the number of candidates in the session with a raw score equal to or below yours, divided by the total candidates who appeared in that session. The calculator can count your raw marks, but it cannot know those official session counts.

From session scores to the CET resultA five-step flow showing that raw marks need session score distribution data before an official percentile can be calculated.

For PCM, the formula adds Physics correct answers, Chemistry correct answers and twice the Mathematics correct answers. For PCB, it adds Physics, Chemistry and Biology correct answers once each. The practical next move is simple: revise the subject with the fewest correct answers before using another test to check whether that count improves.

Frequently asked

No. The State CET Cell's 2026 methodology calculates percentile from how many candidates in your own session scored equal to or below your raw score, so marks alone cannot reproduce the official result.

No. The State CET Cell states that percentile is not the percentage of marks obtained. Percentile reflects relative performance within the exam-session process, while marks are the raw score.

For MHT-CET 2026 PCM, Physics and Chemistry correct answers carry 1 mark each and Mathematics correct answers carry 2 marks each. The 2026 brochure also states that there is no negative marking.

For AY 2026–27, the State CET Cell says that candidates who take both attempts have the better total percentile considered for admission. Subject-wise percentiles are not combined to create that best score.
