Calculation of MHT CET 2020 Result
The MHT CET entrance examinations will be conducted in multiple shifts which bring out the possibility of difference in difficulty level of question papers sets.
Some candidates may get a relatively tougher set of MHT CET 2020 question papers. In such a case, those candidates who attempt the tougher set of question paper will be able to secure fewer marks compared to the ones who attempted the easier set.
To make sure, the candidates are neither benefitted nor disadvantaged due to the difficulty level of the question paper sets, Normalization method of calculating marks is employed for fair marking practice. A similar method of calculating marks is also employed in several other major entrance examinations such as JEE.
How to Calculate MHT CET 2020 Percentile Score
Based on the candidates’ relative performance appearing for the MHT CET 2020 entrance exam, the authorities will prepare percentile scores. The marks secured by the candidates will be transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0. The percentile scores will reflect the percentage of candidates who have scored less than that particular examination score. The percentile score will be calculated up to 5 decimal points to minimum ties.
With the help of the following formula, the Percentile Score of the candidate will be calculated:
(Number of Candidates in Exam with Normalized Marks < The Candidate) *100/The Total Number of candidates in the Exam – Number of Toppers in the Shift
Note: Percentage of Marks obtained by the candidates will be different from the Percentile Score.
MHT-CET 2020 Merit List
State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, will release the final MHT-CET 2020 merit list in the last week of October 2020. Candidates may check the MHT-CET merit list 2020 online using their application ID and date of birth. In the final merit list of MHT-CET, the name of shortlisted candidates and their overall ranks will be mentioned. Based on the marks obtained by the candidates in the MHT CET 2020 exam, the concerned authorities will release the merit list of the MHT CET 2020 entrance exam. Based on the merit obtained by the candidates in the entrance exam of MHT CET 2020, they will be invited to attend the MHT CET 2020 counseling process for the allocation of seats.
State Entrance Test Cell of Maharashtra releases the MHT-CET provisional merit list in June, and the candidates have an option to submit their grievances (if any). The final merit list of MHT CET is prepared after taking all the feedback and grievances into account.
Based on the ranks secured in the final merit list of MHT-CET 2020, the seat allotment will be done for admission in Maharashtra’s colleges. Seats will be allotted first to those with higher ranks and, therefore, such candidates will have higher chances of getting access to their desired course and college.
Tie-Breaking Policy for MHT CET 2020
In a scenario where two or more candidates obtain an equal number of marks, an MHT CET 2020 tie-breaking policy will be employed to determine who will get admission first. Following are the details regarding the MHT CET 2020 tie-breaking policy:
- Candidates with minimum incorrect attempts in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics/Biology will be given first preference
- Candidates with the least number of wrong attempts Mathematics/Biology will be preferred
- Candidates with less number of wrong attempts in Chemistry will have an advantage
- Those candidates will be prioritized who have secured better marks in the Class XII examination
- Older candidates will be given preference
How to Prepare for MHT CET 2020 in One Month (30 Days)?
Preparing for MHT CET in 30 days is not challenging with a good preparation strategy and study plan. You must note that maximum time must be allocated to the exam preparation in a day, and this will lead you to the best score in the entrance examination.
