MH-CET-Specific Important Points

  1. Remember, MH-CET scores are mainly accepted by Maharashtra state colleges for admission to MBA/MMS programs.

  2. Admission is conducted through the Centralized Admission Process (CAP).

  3. There is no sectional cut-off; only the overall percentile matters.

  4. All India (AI) candidates compete separately from Maharashtra State (MS) candidates.

  5. Cut-offs for the MS category are generally slightly lower than the AI category in top colleges.

  6. Final admission depends on CAP rounds, seat type, and category reservation (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/TFWS, etc.).
