MHT-CET Syllabus & Exam Pattern – Complete Guide
The Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET) is conducted by the State CET Cell for admissions into professional courses like B.Tech/B.E, B.Pharm, and Pharm D in Maharashtra.
As per the official CET Cell notification, the exam is based on the SCERT Maharashtra syllabus:
- 20% weightage from Std. XI
- 80% weightage from Std. XII
There is no negative marking. The difficulty level is set to match the JEE (Main) for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, and the NEET for Biology.
📌 Paper-wise Exam Pattern & Weightage
| Paper | Subject(s) | Std. XI MCQs | Std. XII MCQs | Marks/Q | Total Marks | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper I | Mathematics | 10 | 40 | 2 | 100 | 90 min |
| Paper II | Physics & Chemistry | 10 (Phy) + 10 (Chem) | 40 (Phy) + 40 (Chem) | 1 | 100 | 90 min |
| Paper III | Biology | 20 | 80 | 1 | 100 | 90 min |
Note: Based on SCERT syllabus. No negative marking.
