How to Raise a Grievance Against the Merit List
If any detail on the provisional merit list - such as name spelling, CET score, Class 12 aggregate percentage, or reservation category - is incorrect, candidates must raise a grievance before August 1, 2026 (5:00 PM). Candidates whose provisional status correctly shows their name, domicile, Home University, category, and Class 12 score do not need to submit a grievance.
For Candidates Who Chose E-Scrutiny
- Log in to the candidate dashboard on bba2026.mahacet.org.in.
- Click the "Raise Grievance" tab.
- Select the specific field needing correction (e.g., Marks, Category, Gender, Type of Candidature).
- State the reason and upload valid supporting documents in PDF format.
- Submit and track the acknowledgement receipt. If the application is reverted with officer remarks, re-upload the corrected document and resubmit before the deadline.
For Candidates Who Chose Physical Scrutiny
Candidates who opted for Physical Scrutiny cannot resolve grievances purely online. They must personally visit the same Scrutiny Centre (SC) where their documents were originally verified, carrying the original document along with the physical Receipt-cum-Acknowledgement slip.
How Percentile Is Calculated
The State CET Cell uses a normalised relative-performance formula to convert raw marks into a percentile, which indicates the percentage of total candidates who scored equal to or below a given candidate's score. As an example given in the source, scoring 80+ marks out of 100 generally translates to a 99.5+ percentile.
