MAH MCA CET Exam Pattern
MAH MCA CET 2026
Every question here is worth 2 marks, which is how 100 questions make 200. Mathematics and Statistics and Logical or Abstract Reasoning take 30 questions apiece for 60 marks each, while English Comprehension and Verbal Ability and Computer Concepts take 20 each for 40. Ninety minutes across 100 questions is 54 seconds each, faster than most MCA entrances and faster than the marks-per-question figure makes it feel. One gap: the source checked here does not state a deduction for a wrong answer, so the negative-marking row says nothing rather than assuming none.

The MAH MCA CET 2026 exam pattern is 100 questions carrying 200 marks, to be answered in 90 minutes. That works out to about 54 seconds per question on average, before any time spent reading instructions or revisiting marked answers. The 4 sections are Mathematics & Statistics, Logical / Abstract Reasoning, English Comprehension & Verbal Ability and Computer Concepts. Mathematics & Statistics carries the most, 60 marks of the 200 or about 30%, against 40 marks for Computer Concepts. All sections share one composite timer, so you are free to move between them and spend your time where it earns most.
MAH MCA CET 2026 marking scheme
- Each correct answer is worth 2 marks.
- Worked example: attempt 80 of the 100 questions and get 60 right and 20 wrong, and you score 120 out of 200.
Practising against the same clock is the point of a mock test: at 54 seconds a question, the difference between a good score and an average one is usually pacing rather than knowledge. Attempt a free MAH MCA CET mock test to see where your time actually goes.
