MHT-CET paper pattern

The MHT-CET for health science courses consists of 200 MCQs – all of them being compulsory. The three subjects – physics, chemistry and biology constitute 50, 50 and 100 MCQs respectively. Each MCQ is worth 1 mark. There is no negative marking for incorrect answers or partial credit for partially correct answer.

For biology, all the MCQs are asked from the 9 sanctioned textbooks only. No MCQs that are beyond the 9 sanctioned textbooks are asked. MCQs are not lifted from CBSE/ICSE/NCERT/etc. books if they are not covered in our syllabus. Chapterwise, the constitution is fluid to some extent. The exact contribution of each chapter may not be known because MHT-CET question papers are not allowed to be taken out of the examination hall. The question papers have to be submitted back to the supervisor. The only information this is available is memory-based information from students who appeared at the exam, which may not be accurate.

MHT-CET 2010 is not canceled

This post is just to clarify that MHT-CET 2010 has not been canceled.Back in Feb 2009, Govt. had proposed to abolish MHT-CET – the common entrance examination for admissions to health science, engineering and pharmacy courses. At that time, it was clarified that MHT-CET 2009 and MHT-CET 2010 will be conducted, and if MHT-CET is to be scrapped, it will be only from MHT-CET 2011 onwards. It also formed a study panel to look into ways to scrap the CET. However, the study panel has not found any route to abolish the MHT-CET examination.
