MAH MBA CET is conducted in multiple shifts across several days. Because question difficulty may vary slightly between shifts, the CET Cell uses a statistical normalization process to ensure fairness. Raw scores obtained by candidates are converted into percentile scores using a standardized formula that accounts for the relative performance of candidates in each session. The percentile score represents the percentage of candidates who scored equal to or below a particular candidate. For example, a 99 percentile means the candidate performed better than 99% of test-takers. Admission merit lists are prepared based on normalized percentiles rather than raw marks. Therefore, candidates from tougher shifts are not disadvantaged. The exact normalization formula is detailed in the official information brochure each year.
