How to Score 99+ Percentile in MAH CET 2026
Now, the question arise, how to score 99+ percentile in MAH MBA CET 2026. Remember that CET questions are of different nature than any other MBA entrance exam so you will need to follow a different approach.
Focus on the most scoring section: MAH CET is LR based test and there will be 100 questions on Reasoning. Target maximum scores in Logical Reasoning and Abstract Reasoning. While the former can be moderately tough, the latter is usually very easy. It is often seen that candidates have been able to attempt upto 20 questions out of 25. Quants and Verbal Ability have 50 questions each, so if you’ve done well in Reasoning, you will not need extra effort in rest two sections.
Select questions carefully: There is no negative marking in MAH MBA CET, but that doesn’t mean you’re free to do guess work liberally. Make sure you choose only those questions to solve which are from your comfort zone. Once you’re done with them, then you can move to tougher questions where you might need to do guess work.

Do not rush through questions: LR and AR questions may seem easy but can be tricky. Even in VA section, questions based on antonym-synonym, word meaning and idioms can be confusing. Even some of the Quants questions can be challenging. Read the questions slowly to understand the intent.
Time management: In MAH MBA CET 2026, time management will be key as there is no sectional time limit. You will need to divide 150 minutes between all four sections in such a way that none of them is ignored. While your Target will be 155 to 177 questions, time in hand will be 150 minutes, which means you well get less than a minute to spend on one questions. Although MAH CET mock test practice has already prepared you for quick action, keep in mind during the actual exam not to overspend time on one question.

MAH CET MBA is a moderately difficult exam, but because it is Reasoning heavy, you will need about 6 months to prepare for it. A lot of practice will be required to master each topic, which is why you should start preparation about 6 months in advance.
