How MAHE Communicates Scores After Each CBT Phase
Unlike large public exams such as JEE Main or state CETs, MAHE does not typically release a detailed, publicly downloadable provisional answer key with an open objection window for MET. Instead, given the fully computer-based format, candidates commonly receive their raw score and provisional result shortly after completing the test — in some cycles within the same day or within a few days — through their candidate login.
• Responses submitted during the CBT session are captured digitally, removing the OMR-scanning and manual key-matching delay seen in offline exams.
• MAHE computes scores using its internal scoring engine based on the finalized question-and-answer mapping for each shift/slot.
• Since multiple shifts across several days may have slightly different question sets drawn from a common question bank, MAHE applies an internal normalization process to ensure fairness across shifts before publishing the final phase-wise score.
Because MAHE does not publish a shift-wise detailed answer key for public scrutiny in the way NTA does for JEE Main, there is generally no formal "challenge the answer key" window for MET. Candidates who believe there was a factual error in a specific question typically need to raise it directly with the MAHE helpdesk/grievance cell rather than through a structured public objection portal.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Raw Score | Marks obtained out of 240 for the specific phase attempted |
| Section-Wise Score | Break-up across Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English (in many cycles) |
| Percentile / Rank Indicator | Relative standing among that phase's test-takers |
| Best-of-Two-Phase Note | Indicates which phase score is being carried forward to final merit, if the candidate attempted both |
Since candidates cannot rely on an official public answer key to self-calculate their score in detail, the most reliable approach is to note down attempted answers during the exam (where permitted on the rough sheet) or immediately after exiting the center while memory is fresh, then cross-reference against widely circulated coaching-institute answer keys (treated as unofficial estimates only) for an approximate self-assessment, while waiting for the official score to appear on the candidate portal.
• If a candidate believes a specific question had a factual error, ambiguous wording, or an incorrect answer key mapping, the correct channel is MAHE's official grievance/helpdesk contact listed on manipal.edu, not a public comment or forum post.
• Grievances should be raised promptly, ideally within a few days of the exam, along with the specific question details (subject, approximate topic, shift/slot) to allow MAHE's academic team to investigate.
• Since there is no large-scale public challenge window, individual grievance outcomes are typically communicated directly and privately rather than through a public revised-key notification.
Not in the same detailed, publicly downloadable format; candidates typically see their score directly via the candidate login rather than through a separate public answer-key challenge process.
There is no large-scale public objection portal; candidates with genuine concerns should contact the MAHE helpdesk or grievance cell directly.
In many recent cycles, scores have been visible in the candidate login within a few days of completing the respective phase.
