MH CET Law Exam Pattern
MH CET Law (5-Year LLB)
Five sections, five different sizes, one mark a question throughout, so section size is section weight here with nothing else to adjust for. Legal Aptitude and Legal Reasoning and Logical and Analytical Reasoning take 32 questions each, General Knowledge and Current Affairs and English Language take 24 each, and Mathematics Aptitude just 8. The 3-Year paper inverts that balance almost exactly, so a candidate who picks up material for the wrong route prepares the wrong half of a syllabus. Nothing is deducted for a wrong answer, and two hours across 120 questions leaves a clean minute each.

The official MH CET Law (5-Year LLB) written test has 120 questions for 120 marks in 2 hours, 1 mark per correct answer, no negative marking, across five sections: Legal Aptitude and Legal Reasoning (32 questions), General Knowledge and Current Affairs (24 questions), Logical and Analytical Reasoning (32 questions), English Language (24 questions), and Mathematics Aptitude (8 questions). Each mock here covers Legal Aptitude and Legal Reasoning, Logical and Analytical Reasoning, English Language, and Mathematics Aptitude, in the same 4:4:3:1 proportion as the official exam: 24 questions (8 Legal Aptitude and Legal Reasoning, 8 Logical and Analytical Reasoning, 6 English, 2 Mathematics). Every Legal Aptitude and Legal Reasoning question here states its own legal principle and facts in the passage, matching the official syllabus description that the section tests how a candidate applies legal propositions to facts, not memorised law. General Knowledge and Current Affairs is not covered, since it depends on facts that carry higher correctness risk for self-authored content.
