Overview: Are you still confused about the MH CET Law Marks vs Percentile? Don't worry; we are here to clarify this for you. If you have appeared in the MH CET Law 2024 exam and are struggling to distinguish between both, this article is for you! 

In this blog, we will analyze the distinction between MH CET Law Marks vs Percentile 2024 to determine what constitutes a good score and go deep into the detailed process of gaining admission to the top law colleges in Maharashtra. This information will assist you in evaluating your chances of admission.

So, stay tuned to get complete information about MH CET Law Marks vs Percentile 2024!

To gain a better understanding of MH CET Law Marks vs Percentile 2024, it is necessary to learn the primary difference between both:

  1. MH CET Law Marks: This is the score a candidate receives based on the number of correct answers in the exam. MH CET Law exams have a maximum score that a candidate can achieve, calculated by considering the correct answers minus any penalties for, if any, wrong answers.
  2. MH CET Law Percentile: The percentile score is a relative measure that shows how a candidate's performance compares to all other candidates who took the same exam. It does not directly reflect the marks scored but indicates the percentage of candidates who scored below a particular candidate. For example, a percentile of 90 means the candidate scored better than 90% of the participants.

Percentile is particularly useful for comparative purposes, especially in competitive exams where ranking is crucial for admissions, allowing institutions to understand a candidate's performance with their peers.   Check the table below for more clarity on MH CET Law Marks vs Percentile 2024:

How to calculate the MH CET Law Marks vs Percentile 2024:

The CET Cell Maharashtra will group all the candidates who appear in a specific slot or batch and calculate the mean and standard deviation for the total number of candidates in this group. Then, the exam authority will individually calculate the mean and standard deviation for candidates in each slot (session).

In the next step, each candidate's standard score will be calculated using the standard score formula mentioned below. Afterwards, an equated score will be calculated for all the candidates. If a candidate’s score is decimal, it will be rounded off to the nearest whole number.  Check the MH CET Law percentile formula below:

Factors Determining a Good Score in MH CET Law 2024 

To achieve a good score in MH CET Law 2024, students must consider several key factors: 

  • Total Number of Candidates: More candidates mean higher competition, requiring better scores for admission. 
  • Number of Seats Offered: Each college has limited seats, influencing the cutoff scores. Higher competition for fewer seats demands higher scores. 
  • Candidate's Category: Cutoff scores vary by category. General category students need higher scores, while reserved category students have lower cutoffs due to seat reservations. 
  • Overall Performance: Candidates' higher overall performance raises the cutoff scores. Exceptional performance is needed to make the merit list. 
  • Difficulty Level of Exam: A tough exam lowers the cutoff, while an easy or moderate exam raises it. 
  • Reservation Policy: Reservations are available only for candidates from Maharashtra, covering SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and notified tribes. About 50% of seats are reserved for these categories. 
  • College Preferences: Popular colleges set higher cutoffs due to more applicants. To secure admission to top law colleges in Maharashtra, candidates should aim to score above 125. 
  • These factors collectively determine the marks required for a good MH CET Law 2024 score.
