The total marks in the MH CET Law exam can vary based on the number of questions and the marking scheme. Each correct answer is generally awarded +1 mark. There is no provision of negative marking in the MH CET law exam. The total marks can be calculated by summing up the marks earned for all the correct answers while avoiding the number of incorrect responses.

For example, if the exam consists of 150 questions and a candidate answers 100 questions correctly while getting 20 questions wrong, the total marks would be calculated as (100 * 1) = 100 marks.

However, the specific total marks can differ from year to year based on the number of questions in each section and any changes in the marking scheme. Candidates should refer to the official MH CET Law guidelines for accurate information on the total marks for the particular exam year.
