The exam consists of three papers (PCM/PCB) with 90 minutes each, totalling 100 marks per paper. There is no negative marking. Mathematics questions are worth 2 marks each, while Physics, Chemistry, and Biology are worth 1 mark each.

The CET Cell will now conduct the MHT CET exam twice a year, similar to the JEE Mains exam. With this, the authorities aim to provide candidates another chance to improve their scores without wasting a year.
