The MHT CET 2027 syllabus is completely based on the Maharashtra State Board (MSBSHSE) Class 11 and Class 12 curricula. The syllabus for this exam covers Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) for its engineering courses. The syllabi for the MHT CET 2027 exam for agriculture and pharmacy programmes encompass Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB).

According to the exam pattern, almost 20% of the questions are based on the Class 11 syllabus, and the remaining 80% are based on the Class 12 curriculum.

The MHT CET 2027 exam consists of 150 MCQs for PCM candidates. The total number of questions for PCB candidates is 200 (MCQs). Both papers have a weightage of 200 marks. The exam duration for both PCM and PCB papers is 180 minutes. There is no provision of a negative marking scheme for the MHT CET exam.

MHT CET 2027 Preparation Tips

Students who are preparing for the MHT CET 2027 exam must follow a smart study strategy to improve their exam performance.

Here are some effective preparation tips that students can follow to increase their MHT CET exam score:

  • Understand the Syllabus: The first and foremost important thing is to understand the syllabus completely. Start by thoroughly reviewing the latest MHT-CET syllabus and exam pattern. This will help candidates identify what the important topics are for the exam.

  • Focus on Class 12 Topics: Approximately 80% of the questions are from the Class 12 syllabus in the PCB and PCM papers of MHT CET. Therefore, candidates should give more time to Class 12 chapters.

  • Study from Maharashtra State Board Books: Aspirants should prepare from the official SCERT/MSBSHSE (Balbharati) textbooks because the MHT CET syllabus is majorly based on these books.

  • Practice Previous Years' Papers: Solve the MHT CET previous-year question papers (PYQs) to understand the question pattern and improve your speed and accuracy.

  • Take Regular Mock Tests: Attempt full-length mock tests to evaluate your preparation, identify weak areas, and improve your time-management skills.

  • Revise Regularly: Make short notes, formulas, and important reactions for quick revision before the exam.
