The authority determines the percentile shift-wise. Meaning, first, candidates need to know what a percentile is. It is essentially a comparison of marks achieved by candidates in a particular shift. That is, if one gets 99 percentile in MHT CET, then it means 99% of the candidates have achieved a score less than that of the student. Moreover, this data is normalised across all shifts such that those who appeared in the toughest shift are not at a loss, and those who took part in the easiest shift of MHT CET 2026 are not unduly advantaged.
The MHT CET 2026 result will be uploaded on the official website, cetcell.mahacet.org. The authority will announce the MHT CET 2026 result for each phase separately. Candidates will be able to check their results using their email ID and password. It will be in the form of a scorecard. Candidates have to check the
