MAH MBA CET 2025: Normalization Process Announced for Fair Scoring
The Maharashtra State CET Cell has announced the normalization process for MAH MBA CET 2025 to ensure fair evaluation across different exam sessions. This method converts raw scores into percentile scores, leveling the playing field for all candidates.

The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has officially announced the normalization process for the MAH MBA CET 2025. This procedure is designed to ensure fairness in score calculation, particularly as the exams are conducted across multiple shifts with varying difficulty levels. The MAH MBA CET is scheduled to take place from April 1 to April 3, 2025.
Key Highlights of the Normalization Process
Purpose of Normalization: The normalization method aims to level the playing field for candidates who take the exam in different sessions, ensuring that no candidate is unfairly advantaged or disadvantaged due to variations in question paper difficulty.
Percentile Scores: The CET Cell will convert raw scores into percentile scores. A percentile score indicates the percentage of candidates who scored equal to or below a specific score. For instance, the highest scorer in each session will receive a percentile score of 100.
Distribution of Candidates: Candidates will be randomly distributed across four sessions over two days, ensuring an approximately equal number of candidates in each session. This distribution helps mitigate bias and maintains fairness in evaluation.
Detailed Normalization Steps
Session Distribution: Candidates will be divided into four sessions:
- Session 1: Day 1, Batch 1
- Session 2: Day 1, Batch 2
- Session 3: Day 2, Batch 1
- Session 4: Day 2, Batch 2
Score Conversion: The raw scores obtained by candidates will be converted into percentile scores using a standardized method similar to that employed in other major entrance exams in India.
Precision in Calculation: Percentile scores will be calculated up to seven decimal places to minimize ties and ensure accuracy.
Clarification on Percentiles: It is important to note that the overall percentile score is not an average of individual subject percentiles but rather a comprehensive evaluation based on overall performance.
Conclusion
The introduction of the normalization process for MAH MBA CET 2025 reflects the CET Cell's commitment to maintaining fairness and transparency in the examination process. As candidates prepare for this important entrance exam, understanding the normalization method will help them gauge their performance more accurately.
