  • You can use the method of elimination in this section. Since, Reasoning is all about the use of interpretive and intuitive skills, start with rejecting the impossible options until you arrive at the right option or the one closest to the answer.
  • In abstract reasoning questions of MAH MBA CET 2025, you can also visualize the problem or draw pattern, grid or image to help you solve the problem.
  • MAH MBA CET doesn’t have sectional time limit, and there is no condition of solving the paper in a pre-defined chronology either. In the last two year, the questions have been presented in jumbled form, i.e. there was no section wise. So, we suggest that you attempt Reasoning questions first, irrespective of whether it is your strong or weak area. It carries too much weightage to be left for last.
  • Even though there is no negative marking in MAH MBA CET, don’t spend too much time on a question. The MBA CET often has some tricky questions. Solve easier questions first and come back later if time permits.
  • In the MAH MBA CET 2025 exam, aim to solve about 65-70 questions from this section. If you manage to solve that many with accuracy, you can be rest assured of a good score.
