MAH MBA CET 2026 Result: First Attempt vs Second Attempt
This section helps candidates understand how the two-attempt result system works and why the second attempt result matters for your final percentile used in admissions.
MAH MBA CET 2026 was conducted in two separate sessions this year, giving candidates a second chance to improve their score:
- The first attempt (April 6-8, 2026) result was declared on May 30, 2026, along with scorecards.
- The second attempt (May 9, 2026) result has now been declared.
- Candidates who appeared for both attempts can compare their percentiles across both result sets.
- For CAP counselling, the State CET Cell will consider the higher of the two percentile scores for each candidate.
Reports indicate that several candidates scored higher in the second attempt compared to the first, which means those who appeared for both sessions or specifically for the second attempt may have an edge during seat allotment, as overall cut-offs could rise slightly this year due to improved scores.
