MH CET Law exam lasts for 2 hours. The test held online in computer-based mode. You must answer 150 questions in that time. Each question carries one mark, and there is no negative marking. Manage time well because once timer ends, paper auto submits.

There is no sectional time limit in MH CET Law exam. You get total 2 hours to finish all 150 questions. You can move between sections anytime during test. Manage your time wisely so every part gets enough attention before exam ends.

General Knowledge (GK) is often said to be the hardest part of the MH CET Law exam because it's wide, changing, and not easy to predict. Current affairs are usually simpler to handle, but the static GK part that includes history, geography, and legal topics becomes tough for many students.

Yes, six months is a good time to prepare for the MH CET Law exam. It gives enough days for both 3-year and 5-year LLB courses. Study daily with focus on Legal Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, and English. Keep giving mock tests often.

General Knowledge and Current Affairs section is the most important section in the MH CET Law question paper. These sections test candidates' awareness of current events and a variety of academic subjects. The weightage of this section is 40.
