MHT CET Score Calculator 2026

MHT CET 2026 scoring: Each correct answer = +2 marks. No marks for unattempted questions. No negative marking — wrong answers also give 0 marks. Total marks = Correct Answers × 2. PCM group has 150 questions (50 Physics + 50 Chemistry + 50 Maths × 2 marks each = 200 max marks). PCB group is also 200 marks. This makes MHT CET relatively straightforward to calculate compared to JEE Main.

Exact marks-to-percentile conversion depends on difficulty level and candidate distribution. Based on 2025 data, approximately 175–185 marks out of 200 corresponds to 99 percentile in PCM. For 99.5 percentile, you likely need 185–190 marks. For 99.9 percentile, 190–195+ marks are needed. These are estimates — actual cutoffs depend on the specific 2026 exam difficulty.
