MAH CET MBA Day 1 Exam Analysis (All slots)

Given below is the IMS Day 2 MAH CET Analysis based on the feedback received from IMS students and experts who appeared for the tests. CET second slot retained the overall structure and the types of questions of the past four years’ with minor differences. The broad pattern and the IMS estimate of difficulty level are as follows:

OVERVIEW

VERDICT

• There were no sections and questions of various sections were mixed up throughout the paper.
• As usual, CET consisted of 200 questions to be attempted in 150 minutes
• Since there is NO Negative Marking in CET, candidates are expected to attempt all 200 questions.
• IMS estimate of good attempts refers to the number of serious attempts and excludes the randomly marked answers.

Test of Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (50 questions)

• VARC consisted of around 50 questions with about 40 VA questions and around 10 RC questions.

The VA section had various question types.

Quantitative Aptitude

There were about 60 questions on Quantitative Aptitude in the second slot of CET. Major Surprise was that there were only 3 questions on Data Interpretation and only 1 question on Data Sufficiency. Similarly, a major deviation from recent years was that there were a few questions Limits, Integration, Differential Equations, Inductive functions which were never included in this exam. The level of difficulty of the questions on Quantitative Aptitude was easier as compared to recent years.

The questions on Quantitative Aptitude were dominated by questions on Arithmetic. There were about 12 questions on Arithmetic and all the subtopics in Arithmetic (such as Time-Speed-Distance, Averages, Ratio-Proportion, Time & Work, Mixtures & Alligations, Percentages, Simple and Compound Interest) were represented.

Following was the approximate overall break-up of the topics in this test:

Logical Reasoning

Questions on Logical Reasoning were dominated by questions on non-verbal reasoning. There were 70 questions on Non-Verbal Reasoning and 20 questions on Verbal Reasoning. Out of the 70 questions on Non-Verbal Reasoning, only 15 questions were set based and all other questions were standalone. There was a set of 2 questions on Sequential Output and 1 question on Data Sufficiency.

All the 5 sets were on Arrangements. Three sets were on matrix arrangement while two sets were based on circular arrangement. A set of 2 questions on Sequential output and a set of 2 questions on Selection Criteria were also included.

The standalone questions on non-verbal reasoning were on different topics such as directions (6 questions), Linear Arrangement (9 questions), Coding (7 questions), Family Tree (5 questions) and Data Sufficiency (3 questions).

In Verbal Reasoning, there were around 20 questions of the following types: Critical Reasoning, Statement-Conclusion, Statement-Assumption, Courses of Action, Situation-Response, Syllogisms, and Statement-Assertion. The verbal reasoning questions were of easy to moderate difficulty.

Following is the summary of the approximate break-up of this section.

Abstract Reasoning

MAH CET MBA Day 2 Exam Analysis (All slots)

According to the inputs from the applicants who took the exam, the MAH CET held on March 26 was a bit more difficult than the day 1 morning slot exam held on March 25. It was moderately difficult, and English paper was moderate level of difficulty. But there were a lot of ambiguity and errors in the paper. The questions were badly phrased, making it complex to understand. One more thing that was quite interesting and unexpected is that there were around 8-10 questions from XAT, CAT and IIFT. And 12-14 questions from a few previous MAH MBA CET exams. Paper pattern was not same in the LR and QA ( DI included). These sections had 59 questions and 66 questions respectively.

MAH MBA CET exam pattern

It went back to previous years of CET in this slot. There were a total of 6 DI sets with a total of 24 questions. One set was on a Pie Chart with 5 questions and one other set was on table with 3 questions. There was one DI set on three variable Venn diagrams with 5 questions and three sets on caselets. Two out of these three sets on caselets had 4 questions and the third set had 3 questions. Most DI sets involved easy calculations.

There were about 35 questions on Quantitative Aptitude. Those questions were heavily dominated by questions on Arithmetic. There were as many as 27 questions on Arithmetic. Most subtopics in Arithmetic such as averages, Profit & Loss, and Time-Speed-Distance were asked. There were four questions on Modern Mathematics ( Permutation & Combinations and venn diagram) and two questions on Geometry.

Logical Reasoning

In the both slot of the second the pattern of paper was the same in terms of number of total questions, sectional questions and so on. The overall difficulty level of this section was moderate compared to Abstract Reasoning section. The number of questions in this sections was less than that of day 1 CET exam. There were around 5 questions asked from calendars followed arrangement and matrix which had 4 questions each. Clocks and dimensions saw 3 questions each. There was only 1 question based on odd one out.

One question on paper cutting was reported. Following was the break-up of the questions on abstract reasoning in this slot of CET.

MAH CET MBA Exam Analysis by IMS (Slot 1)

The first slot of CET took place on September 16, between 9 am and 11:30 am. Given below is the IMS Day 1 MAH CET Analysis based on the feedback received from IMS students and experts who appeared for the tests. CET first slot retained the overall structure and the types of questions of the past four years’ with minor differences. The broad pattern and the IMS estimate of difficulty level are as follows:

OVERVIEW

Based on the feedback received from several candidates we estimate the scores and percentiles** to be as follows:

VERDICT after all slots:

• First slot of CET was easier.
• As usual, CET consisted of 200 questions to be attempted in 150 minutes
• Since there is NO Negative Marking in CET, candidates are expected to attempt all 200 questions.
• IMS estimate of good attempts refers to the number of serious attempts and excludes the randomly marked answers.

Test of Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (50 questions)

VARC consisted of 45 to 50 questions with about 30 VA questions and around 15 RC questions. Overall, the VARC was easier than in the previous year.

While the number of Reading Comprehension questions was roughly the same as last year, there were four passages instead of the usual two. The passages were challenging to read and were accompanied by mostly inference-based questions.

The VA section had familiar question types.

• There were around 6 to 8 grammar questions in the spot-the-error format - a statement was divided into 4 parts and the part carrying an error had to be marked as the answer.
• There were 2 jumbled paragraph questions but the format was slightly different. Each set of statements had just one question to be answered unlike last year when 4 to 5 questions were to be answered from a single set of statements.
• A majority of vocabulary questions were in a format in which 4 words were provided and one had to identify two words that were either similar or opposite in meaning.

Most of the VA questions were easy and could be answered quickly with high accuracy.

MAH MBA CET- Quantitative Aptitude Analysis

There were about 50 questions on Quantitative Aptitude in the first slot of CET. Major Surprise was that there were no questions on Data Interpretation. Similarly, a major deviation from recent years was that there were no questions on Quantitative Comparison, Approximations and Data Sufficiency. The level of difficulty of the questions on Quantitative Aptitude was easier as compared to recent years.

The questions on Quantitative Aptitude were dominated by questions on Arithmetic. There were about 25 questions on Arithmetic and all the subtopics in Arithmetic (such as Time-Speed-Distance, Averages, Ratio-Proportion, Time & Work, Mixtures & Allegations, Percentages, Simple and Compound Interest) were represented.

Other topics on which questions were asked on Quantitative Aptitude were Numbers (4 to 5 questions-questions on factors & multiples and surds), Geometry (3 to 4 questions- questions on mensuration and circles), Modern Mathematics (4 questions- questions on Logarithms, Probability, AP-GP) and Algebra (2 to 3 questions). In addition to these, there were 5 standalone questions on number series.

Following was the approximate overall break-up of the topics in this test:

Test of Quantitative Aptitude

Test of Logical Reasoning

Questions on Logical Reasoning were dominated by questions on non-verbal reasoning. There were about 50 to 55 questions on Non-Verbal Reasoning and 20 questions on Verbal Reasoning. Out of the 55 questions on Non-Verbal Reasoning, 40 questions were set-based (8 sets of 5 questions each) and there were 15 standalone questions. There were no questions on Sequential Output or Selection Criteria.

Out of the 8 sets, four sets were on arrangements. Two sets were on matrix arrangement while one set was on linear arrangement, combined with family relations. One set combined linear arrangement and conditionality's. One set was based on only family relations. There was one case let, which combined the concepts of time and work. That set was slightly complicated. There was one set on scheduling.

The 15 standalone questions on non-verbal reasoning were on different topics such as directions, letter coding and puzzles.

In Verbal Reasoning, there were around 19 to 20 questions of the following types: Cause-Effect reasoning, Assertion - Reason, Strengthen / Weaken the Argument, Analogies and Syllogisms. Syllogism questions formed the major chunk of verbal reasoning questions and owing to the familiarity of the question type, were simpler to answer. The rest of the verbal reasoning questions were in the easy to moderate difficulty range.

Following is the summary of the approximate break-up of this section.

Test of Abstract Reasoning

There were about 25 questions on Abstract Reasoning. There were questions on series completion, analogies and odd man out like in the recent years. Additionally, questions on paper folding made a comeback to CET after several years. There was one question which combined multiple odd man out questions. That was somewhat complex but all other questions were rather easy.

After the conclusion of MAH CET MBA 2025, candidates can use the MAH CET Rank Predictor to know the rank they will get based on their approximate score in the MAH MBA CET exam.
