MHT CET 2026 Marking Scheme — Know Before Checking Your Score

 

 

Candidates will use knowledge of the marking scheme to help them make an informed guess

at their score. The MHT CET marking scheme provides 1 mark for every correct answer in

Physics and Chemistry and 2 marks for every correct answer in Maths. The exam is based on

a 'no negative marking' system, which means that candidates may attempt every question

without risk of losing marks for getting them wrong. The percentile is calculated using a

normalisation method based on performance across sessions.

 

 

MHT CET 2026 Normalisation Method — How Percentile Is Calculated

 

 

The difficulty of the question paper sets may vary slightly, as the MHT CET entrance

examination is offered in many shifts on various days. Candidates who had a more difficult

set of papers will get less marks than candidates who had an easier set of papers. To account

for this, the authorities employ a statistical normalisation formula to make scores fairly

comparable; the final percentile is derived from that normalised score. The authorities have

stated they will look at the highest mark in both attempts for students appearing in both.

 

 

MHT CET 2026 Qualifying Cutoff — Minimum Marks to Qualify

 

 

Normally, 45 percentile in the General category and 40 percentile in the reserved category is

necessary to appear for the exam. If marks are considered as raw scores, the candidates of

 

General category should be able to get around 90 marks whereas the candidates of SC, ST

and OBC categories generally get 80 marks.

MHT CET 2026 Expected Cutoff for Top Colleges

For the top institutions such as COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, SPIT Mumbai and PICT Pune,

the percentile cutoffs for the open category range from 98.5 to 99+ in 2025. Therefore, the

students should be able to achieve marks in the 99+ percentile range in 2026 as well to secure

admission in these best institutes.

 

College Expected Cutoff (Percentile)

COEP Pune 99+

VJTI Mumbai 99+

SPIT Mumbai 98.5+

PICT Pune 98+

ICT Mumbai 97+

 

 

MHT CET 2026 Toppers List

 

The Maharashtra CET Cell will be announcing the MHT CET 2026 toppers list with the

Maharashtra CET Result and a candidate will be included only if he/she will have obtained a

100-percentile score. On the PCM list the top 20 students will be announced separately and

similarly for the PCB list. As a reference, the rank 1 in the MHT CET group PCM for the

year 2025 was MEER VIPUL BHUVA and the rank 1 in the group PCB was HARI

announcements will be made for 2026.
