Commonly asked questions
Q:   Is 70 a good score in MHCET Law?
A: 

Getting 70 marks in MHT CET is seen as an average score. It mostly comes around 82 to 86 percentile, depending on which shift you wrote the exam in. With this score, you can still get seats in some good private or mid-level state engineering colleges, but it's tough to get into top ones like COEP or VJTI. It's not really a high score, but it stays above the basic eligibility line and gives you fair options. Still, if you aim for 120+ marks, it's safer for strong branches like CSE or IT, where the competition stays high every year.

Q:   Which are the top colleges accepting MH CET Law scores?
A: 

The top colleges that accept the MH CET Law scores are given below-

  1. Governmet Law College, Mumbai

  4. Dr DY Patil Law College, Navi Mumbai
  5. Rizvi Law College, Mumbai
  6. Shri Naval Firodia Law College, Pune

The ideal cut off to secure a seat and get the admission in one of these top colleges ranges between 96 to 99. Candidates must target to acheive this score in order to easily land into their preferred Law College.

Q:   Which is a scoring section in MH CET Law?

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.
