MH CET Law 2025 Alphabetical List Vs Merit List

Individuals taking the MH CET Law exam for the first time often mistakenly consider the MH CET Law alphabetical list to be the merit list. However, there are notable differences between the two lists. Check out the differences between the MH CET Law merit list and the MH CET Law alphabetical list below:

  • The MH CET Law alphabetical list is a document published to help candidates cross-check their personal details and marks/percentiles and report any discrepancies. These details will be used for admission, so candidates must thoroughly check all the information and request corrections from the exam authority if needed. In contrast, the purpose of the merit list is to inform candidates that they are eligible for admission.
  • The alphabetical list includes the details of both candidates whose documents have been verified and candidates whose documents have not yet been verified. However, the merit list includes the names of only those candidates whose documents have been verified.
  • Candidates can send grievances against the MAH CET LLB alphabetical list, but grievances against the merit list cannot be sent.
  • If a candidate's name appears in the MH CET Law merit list, they are eligible for admission to the preferred law course through MH CET Law counselling. They will need to freeze an option from the list of colleges offered to them by the exam authority. If a candidate is selected in the alphabetical list, it does not guarantee admission to a law college.

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.

No, Maharashtra State CET Cell has not moved the MHCET Law to a two-attempt system. Although it is expected that the MH CET Law might be held twice in a year to match the national-level exam standards.
