Exam Pattern


Examination Pattern of MHT CET


Knowing the examination pattern is always helpful is planning preparation as well as attempting paper!

Examination Pattern:


The MHT CET examination is computer based and consists of two papers.

Paper-I: Physics and Chemistry 

carries 100 marks together and duration is 90 minutes (One and Half Hour).

Paper-II: Mathematics 

carries 100 Marks and duration is 90 minutes (One and Half Hour).


The total exam duration is 3 hours that is 180 minutes. During first 90 minutes (0 to 90 Minutes) candidates will attempt questions from Paper-I (Physics and Chemistry) and during last 90 minutes (91 to 180 Minutes) candidate will attempt Paper-II (Mathematics).

Question Paper Structure:


As per the notification, following points are shared related to setting of question paper [ refer MHT CET Brochure for more details]1.The questions will be based on Syllabus of Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education.
2. 20% weightage will be given to the questions from Std. XI syllabus and 80% weightage will be given to the questions from Std. XII syllabus while setting the question paper.3. There will be no Negative Marking, the questions will be mainly application based.4. The question papers are multiple choice questions (MCQ) having 4 options and the question and marking system is as follows:
