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.

You will need to divide 150 minutes between all four sections in such a way that none of them is ignored.
