MH-CET-Specific Important Points
Remember, MH-CET scores are mainly accepted by Maharashtra state colleges for admission to MBA/MMS programs.
Admission is conducted through the Centralized Admission Process (CAP).
There is no sectional cut-off; only the overall percentile matters.
All India (AI) candidates compete separately from Maharashtra State (MS) candidates.
Cut-offs for the MS category are generally slightly lower than the AI category in top colleges.
Final admission depends on CAP rounds, seat type, and category reservation (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/TFWS, etc.).
