MHT CET Score Calculator 2026

MHT CET 2026 scoring: there is no negative marking — wrong and unattempted answers both score 0. The PCM paper has 150 questions in total (50 each in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics), but the mark-per-question weight is not uniform across subjects: Mathematics questions carry 2 marks each (50 × 2 = 100 marks) while Physics and Chemistry questions carry 1 mark each (50 × 1 = 50 marks each), adding up to 200 marks overall. PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) follows the same 200-mark total using the same weighting pattern for Physics and Chemistry, with Biology questions carrying 1 mark each in place of Mathematics. Always confirm the exact per-subject weightage in the official MHT CET 2026 information brochure before calculating your score.

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 based on prior-year data — MHT-CET 2026 has concluded, and the actual conversion for that cycle depended on the specific 2026 exam difficulty.

No. MHT CET 2026 does not have negative marking. Wrong answers get 0 marks (not -0.5 or -1 as in JEE Main). Unattempted questions also get 0. This means you should attempt all questions — there is no penalty for guessing. This is a key difference from JEE Main where negative marking makes random guessing risky.

MHT CET 2026 PCM paper has 150 questions: 50 questions in Physics, 50 in Chemistry, and 50 in Mathematics. Each question is MCQ (single correct answer); Physics and Chemistry questions carry 1 mark each while Mathematics questions carry 2 marks each, bringing the paper to 200 marks overall. Total time is 3 hours (180 minutes) for PCM. The exam covers Class 11 and Class 12 MSBSHSE (Maharashtra State Board) syllabus for all three subjects.
