                        Hello Aspirant,

                        See from the percentile it is quite difficult to calculate the rank because there are multiple shifts and some shifts are difficult while some are easier therefore to avoid partiality percentile system has been adopted. Also there is no 100% accurate method to calculate rank from percentile but if we go through previous years trends than on such percentile your rank is expected in the range of 47,001 – 55,000 .

                        Note that this is not your exact rank because it might have slight variations to the actual rank.

                        You can check out complete details about Percentile Vs Rank and cut-off for different colleges in MHT CET from the link given below :-
