MHT CET (PCM) is a 3-hour CBT of 150 questions for 200 marks — Physics (50), Chemistry (50) and Mathematics (100, double weightage) — with no negative marking and 20% Class-11 / 80% Class-12 syllabus split. Admission is on the normalised CET percentile alone (no board-marks weightage).
In MHT CET, your rank is driven by percentile, not raw marks. Percentile tells you the share of candidates who scored at or below you, so your All India Rank is approximately (100 − percentile) ÷ 100 × total candidates. MHT CET is held in multiple shifts over several days, so raw scores are normalised into a percentile (the percentage of candidates scoring at or below you). The percentile, not raw marks, drives merit and branch allotment, equalising difficulty across shifts. This is why the same raw marks can map to slightly different ranks in different shifts, and why you should always track your percentile rather than your raw score.
Here is the year-wise MHT CET trend so you can compare your target against the closest recent cycle. MHT CET PCM uses percentile after multi-shift normalisation; rank ≈ (1 − percentile/100) × total PCM candidates (~4.2–4.6 lakh), so 99 percentile ≈ rank 4,200–4,600. About 20–30 students share the 100 percentile each year (~165–180 raw marks). Admission is on CET percentile alone (no board-marks blend).

Is MHT CET rank based on board marks?
No. Unlike KCET or TS EAMCET, MHT CET admission is purely on the normalised CET percentile. Board marks are not weighted, though you must meet eligibility marks.
What percentile for COEP or VJTI CSE?
For CSE/IT at top Maharashtra colleges (VJTI, COEP, SPIT, PICT) a General candidate typically needs above the 99th percentile.
How are marks converted to percentile?
Because the exam runs in multiple shifts, raw scores are normalised. ~150/200 maps to roughly 99.5 percentile, 130 to ~98 and 100 to ~90; exact mapping shifts each year.
Is there negative marking?
No. Attempt every question. Mathematics carries double weightage (100 of 200 marks).
What is a good score in PCM?
160+ (~99.7 %ile) is excellent and opens top CSE/IT; 130–150 (~98–99.5 %ile) is very good; 100–120 (~90–96.5 %ile) is decent for many colleges.
When are CAP rounds held?
After results, the Maharashtra CET Cell runs Centralised Admission Process (CAP) rounds, with allotment by percentile.
