While preparing for Legal Aptitude and Reasoning section of MH CET Law 2025, candidates should consider the following tips:

Know the important topics to be covered

It is important to know the syllabus in detail for MHCET Law Legal Aptitude section in order to prepare strategically. Here are the main topics to be covered by candidates in the section:

Q:   What is the format of the MH CET Law exam?

A:

The MH CET Law exam follows a standardized format for both LLB 5-year and LLB 3-year programs. It is conducted as an online Computer-Based Test (CBT). The exam comprises multiple-choice questions (MCQs), where candidates select the correct answer from the provided options. The exam is divided into different sections, each focusing on specific subjects such as Legal Aptitude, General Knowledge and Current Affairs, Logical and Analytical Reasoning, English, and for the LLB 5-year program, Basic Mathematics. Candidates are required to answer questions within a specified time limit for each section. The exam aims to assess candidates' legal aptitude, reasoning skills, language proficiency, and general awareness. The MCQ format allows for efficient evaluation of a wide range of skills essential for a legal career.

Q:   What is the marking scheme for MH CET Law?

A:

The MH CET Law marking scheme generally involves awarding +1 mark for each correct answer. However, for every incorrect answer, no mark is deducted. This system encourages candidates to attempt all questions to the best of their knowledge. Questions left unanswered do not receive any positive or negative marks. It's crucial to carefully consider your responses during the exam, taking into account both your knowledge and the potential impact of negative marking. As exam patterns and rules might change, I recommend verifying the current marking scheme from the official MH CET Law exam guidelines to ensure accurate preparation and strategy on the exam day.

Q:   Are there sectional time limits in the MH CET Law exam?

A:

The MH CET Law exam does not have specified sectional time limits. Candidates usually have a total exam duration of 2 hours (120 minutes) to complete all sections. This allowed candidates to manage their time across the various sections based on their individual pace and comfort.

However, exam patterns and rules may change from year to year. It's important to refer to the official MH CET Law exam notification and guidelines provided by the exam authorities for the most accurate and up-to-date information. If there have been any changes introduced, such as the inclusion of sectional time limits, candidates should adhere to the new guidelines and plan their time accordingly to ensure they can complete all sections within the given time frame.

  • Study of law, legal facts, principles and terms
  • Torts, Liability, Criminal Law, Family Law, Contractual Law, Constitutional Law, International Law, IPR, contemporary topics
  • The problem-solving ability for law case-studies
