Cut-Off Marks & Merit List
The MHT CET 2026 Final Merit List contains the following details for each candidate, updated with any corrections accepted after the grievance window:

Four separate merit lists were uploaded for the provisional stage, based on MHT CET 2026 scores and JEE Main 2026 scores.
