MHT CET Marks vs Percentile: Understanding the Correlation

The Maharashtra Health and Technical Common Entrance Test (MHT CET) is a highly competitive exam conducted annually for admission to engineering, pharmacy and other technical courses in Maharashtra. Aspirants often wonder about the relationship between their MHT CET marks and percentile. This article delves into the concept and provides insights into the percentile calculation process.

Understanding MHT CET Percentile

Percentile indicates the percentage of candidates who have scored equal to or lower than a particular candidate in the exam. It is a relative measure of a candidate's performance compared to other test takers. The MHT CET percentile is calculated based on the following formula:

Percentile = (Number of Candidates with Equal or Lower Marks / Total Number of Candidates) * 100

Percentile Calculation Tables

Percentile	Corresponding Marks (Approx.)
