However, many candidates faced time crunch as the screen timer was showing 180 minutes but the paper was actually of 150 minutes only. This led to bad experiences in the first slot. The MAH MBA CET 2023 question paper was designed differently from last two years, .i.e. unlike previous two years when questions appeared in a random order, this year, the questions were clubbed together in a series.
