MAH CET 2024 Score Normalisation Process

The normalization process is done with two motives- Reducing ties and the bunching effect. To achieve this, the score is calculated up to seven decimals. The following formula is used to perform the MAH CET normalization process: MHT CET score (percentile) = 100 x (No. of candidates with normalized marks ≤ the candidate) ÷ the Total number of candidates who attended the exam. The score normalization process involves the following three steps.

Step 1: All candidates who appeared for the exam will be divided into four sections, and each section will have an equal number of students.

Step 2: Each subject will have a separate raw score in the form of percentile. The following formulae will be used for each of the subjects.

• Mathematics: 100 x No. of candidates who appeared from the session with raw score ≤ M1 score in Mathematics ÷ Total Number of candidates who appeared in the session
• Physics: 100 x No. of candidates who appeared from the session with raw score ≤ P1 score in Physics ÷ Total Number of candidates who appeared in the session
• Chemistry: 100 x No. of candidates who appeared from the session with raw score ≤ C1 score in Chemistry ÷ Total Number of candidates who appeared in the session
• Total: 100 x No. of candidates who appeared from the session with raw score ≤ T1 score ÷ Total Number of candidates who appeared in the session

Please note, that T1, P1, M1, and C1 represent the raw date/score.

Step 3: All the raw percentile scores from all four sections will be merged in the final steps, which will be used further to compile the MAH CET final result.
