    How is MAH BBA CET Percentile Score Calculated?

    The process of calculating percentile scores begins with the distribution of examinees, followed by the preparation of the results of each session and the compilation of each CET score.

    Step 1: Distribution of candidates

    The authorities distribute the examinees over one day and in three shifts per day. Candidates would be distributed into three sessions randomly, such that each session has approximately an equal number of candidates.

    Step 2: Preparation of the results of each session

    Once examinees are distributed, results for each session are prepared in the form of Raw Scores using the percentile score formula.

    Step 3: Compilation of each CET score

    Finally, percentile scores for the Total Raw Score for all the three sessions are merged and shall be called the CET Percentile scores which will then be used for compilation of result.
