MAH CET MBA Syllabus 2025: Quantitative Aptitude
The syllabus of MBA CET is same as other management entrance exams. Important topics included in the Quantitative Aptitude section of MAH MBA CET syllabus are as follows:
- Arithmetic
- Algebra
- Mensuration
- Probability
- Numbers
- Trigonometry
- Geometry
- Ratio & Proportion
- Mean, Mode, Median
- Percentage
- Simple Interest & Compound Interest
- Set Theory
- Permutation & Combinations
- Time, Speed, Distance
- Square Roots & Cube Roots
- Quantitative Reasoning
Since the Quantitative Aptitude section of MAH CET includes Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency. Candidates need to prepare for these topics too. Out of 50 questions, about 30-32 questions are from Quantitative Aptitude and 18-20 are from Data Interpretation.
It is tough to say that as there is no set pattern of sectional weightage in MAH CET anymore. Since the last two years, the number of questions for each section of the exam, varies for every slot. Meaning that, if in one slot there are 75 questions on LR and 25 AR, in the second slot there can be 60 questions on LR and 40 questions on AR. Similarly, there could be 50 questions on QA in one slot but in the next slot it could be 40. The total number of questions remain 200 in all the slots but the sectional weightage changes. So, one can really not prepare for the exam with the target of scoring maximum in a particular section. They need to prepare for all sections as any section can have maximum questions and the potential to score maximum.

MAH MBA CET preparation can be done in two ways – 1. Join a coaching institute 2. Prepare by self study. If you choose the former, you will get complete guidance from the teachers and mentors, but if you choose the later, you will have to be your own guide. Self study will require a lot more discipline and dedication. Take simple yet impactful steps. First of all, check the exam syllabus and see how much time you will require to cover the topics. If you are already familiar with the topics included in the MAH MBA CET syllabus, you will be able to have an estimation of the time required.
Ideally, you should start MAH MBA CET preparation about nine months in advance. That will give you an ample time to understand and master the topics included in the syllabus through theory and practice questions. Join online study groups for problem solving and doubt clearing. Staying in contact with peers will keep you motivated for preparation.
