By Prof. Rohan Shenoy Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009, Category: Syllabus & Study material

Do you know: About 70 - 73 questions asked in MHT-CET 2010 Biology paper were already covered in our 2010 test-series. Admissions for 2011 test-series have already started. Click here for full details.

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.
