In the first session the questions were of easy to moderate difficulty level. 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. For example, all QA sections appeared one after another, then the questions of next session started.
