MHT-CET Exam Pattern & High-Yield Chapter Weightage
| Paper | Subject | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 1 | Mathematics | 50 | 100 |
| Paper 2 | Physics | 50 | 100 |
| Paper 2 (contd.) | Chemistry | 50 | 100 |
| Total (PCM) | — | 150 | 300 |
High-Yield Topics
Calculus & Trigonometry (Mathematics), Electrostatics & Current Electricity (Physics), and Organic Chemistry reaction mechanisms (Chemistry) carry the heaviest weightage in the Maharashtra state board-aligned syllabus.
Lower-Yield / High-Effort Topics
Communication Systems, Surface Chemistry and certain Probability sub-topics appear less frequently but should be revised given the exam’s board-syllabus alignment.
Marking Guideline: MHT-CET carries no negative marking, meaning attempting every question is strategically advantageous — NMC’s weightage analysis helps students prioritize high-probability-of-scoring topics within the time limit.
