MAH BBA CET Normalisation 2025: What is Percentile Score?

Percentile scores are basically scores obtained by students based on the relative performance of all those who appeared for the examination. While calculating MAH BBA CET percentile score, the marks obtained are transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examinees.

The Percentile Score indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored equal to or below (same or lower raw scores) that particular Percentile in that examination. Therefore, the topper (highest score) of each session will get the same Percentile of 100 which is desirable. The marks obtained in between the highest and lowest scores are also converted to appropriate Percentiles.

How MAH BBA CET Percentile Score is Calculated?

CET Cell Maharashtra will follow multiple steps to calculate the MAH BBA CET percentile score. The process of calculating percentile score begins with distribution of examinees, followed by preparation of result of each session and compilation of each CET score.

Step 1: Distribution of candidates

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

Step 2: Preparation of result of each session

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