MHT CET PCM Marks vs Rank 2025

The MHT CET PCM Marks vs Rank 2025 helps in analysing the percentile and rank range with the respective marks scored in the MHT CET PCM exam.

With 160+ marks, the candidates achieve ranks in the top 1,800 ranks with a 99.5+ percentile, which is perfect for premier colleges like COEP and VJTI. Ranks of 150–159 achieve 1,800–5,000 ranks, while 130–149 marks achieve 95–98 percentile and rank the candidates in the range of 5,000–15,000.

Candidates with marks between 100–119 achieve the 85–95 percentile and rank up to 20,000. 60 mark score provides an estimated 82 percentile with ranks of approximately 32,000–36,000.

MHT CET PCB Marks vs Rank 2025

The MHT CET PCB Marks vs Rank 2025 provides the relationship between the marks scored in the MHT CET PCB group and their respective percentile range and rank.

A candidate with 150+ marks can get the 99+ percentile with ranks under 2,000, and can place in the top pharmacy or allied health colleges. Marks ranging between 140–150 result in a 98–99 percentile and ranks around 2,000–4,000, whereas 130–140 marks are expected to fall in the 96–98 percentile, with ranks up to 7,000.

Scores of 100–120 provide a percentile range of 85–94, placing candidates between 10,000–20,000 ranks. Lower scores, like 80–100, can get the 60–85 percentile with ranks up to 45,000. With 74 marks, the percentile can be around 81.

MHT CET 2025 Cut Off

MHT CET 2025 expected cut-offs would differ depending upon the institute, branch, and category and will be released after the MHT CET Result 2025.

As per the previous year’s analysis, top branches such as Computer Science, IT, and Electronics in government as well as premier private colleges are closed at percentiles of over 97–99.

• General/Open category students require 140+ marks for admission to top branches such as CSE/IT in COEP, VJTI.
• OBC and EWS students are a bit relaxed, with 130–145 marks for the same branches.
• SC/ST students can aim for about 90–115 marks to get admission into good government colleges.
• 2022–2024 trends indicate that cut-offs increase a bit every year due to growing competition and minor paper difficulty fluctuations.

MHT CET 2025 Expected Cut-offs (Category wise)

Category	Expected Cut-off Percentile (Top Branches)	Expected Cut-off Marks (Top Branches)
General (Open)	97 - 99.5	140 - 160+
OBC	94 - 97	130 - 145
EWS	95 - 98	135 - 150
SC	85 - 90	100 - 115
ST	80 - 85	90 - 110
VJ/DT (NT-A)	88 - 92	105 - 120
NT-B	90 - 94	110 - 130
NT-C	91 - 95	115 - 135
NT-D	90 - 94	110 - 130
SBC	93 - 96	125 - 140

MHT CET 2025 Score Card vs normalization

In MHT CET 2025, the performance of the candidates will be tested in 2 phases — calculation of raw score and score normalization and MHT CET Result will be calculated by the same.

Raw marks are simply dependent on correct answers, whereas normalization adjusts scores across shifts so that fairness is maintained because of different difficulty levels.

MHT CET 2025 Score Calculation

The Raw Score in MHT CET is calculated based on the candidate’s performance without any adjustment in the shift, and it does not have any negative marking.

Formula for raw score calculation

Example:

If a student answers 65 questions correctly

Aspect	Details
Marking Scheme (PCM/PCB)	+2 marks for each correct answer
Negative Marking	No negative marking
Subjects	Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics/Biology
Importance	Initial Marks Before Normalization

MHT CET 2025 Score Normalization

MHT CET Results will be calculated using the normalization process, as MHT CET 2025 will be given in multiple sessions with slightly different difficulty levels.

It converts the raw marks to a percentile score based on relative performance in a given session.

Formula for Score Normalization (Percentile Calculation):

Example:

If 1800 candidates appear in a session and a candidate's score is higher than or equal to 1750, then:

Is MHT CET easy?

MHT CET is a moderate exam when compared to national-level exams such as JEE Main. Still, the competition level is high, particularly for premier branches such as Computer Engineering.

The difficulty also depends on the preparation level of the candidate and the shift of the exam.

Section	Difficulty Level	Key Insights
Mathematics	Moderate to Difficult	Requires strong problem-solving speed and accuracy
Physics	Moderate	Conceptual and formula-based questions
Chemistry	Easy to Moderate	Mostly theory-based, direct questions
Biology (PCB group)	Easy to Moderate	NCERT-based, fact-based questions dominate
