The Common Entrance Test Cell Maharashtra has notified a revised LLB CET 2025 exam pattern. In the new MH CET law exam pattern 2025, the number of questions has been reduced to 120 from 150 earlier for 3-year LLB and 5-year LLB both. Other components such as duration and section-wise weightage remain the same. In this article, let’s find out how the change in the exam pattern is expected to affect a good score in MH CET law 2025.
Only those candidates who have a valid non-zero score in the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test will be able to participate in the MH CET law 2025 counselling process and secure admission.
The CET Cell has reduced the total number of questions to 120 in MH CET law 2025. As a result, the total marks in the exam have also reduced to 120. However, other components in the exam such as the MH CET law syllabus, corresponding weights of sections, and the exam duration remain unchanged. MH CET law 2025 will be conducted online for 2 hours. The revised pattern details are given below.

The revised exam pattern of MH CET law 2025 allows candidates more time as they have to attempt a lesser number of questions within two hours. The revised pattern is more student-friendly. An easier exam is likely to lead to higher MH CET law cut-offs and an increase in the good score in MH CET law 2025.
To understand the impact of the revised pattern on a good MH CET law 2025 score, one can also look at what happened to CLAT cut-offs when the CLAT exam pattern was revised in a similar manner where the number of questions was reduced from 150 to 120 while keeping the duration same. In that case, a good score in CLAT 2025 had significantly gone up from around 66% marks to around 80 to 85% marks. A good score in CLAT is now around 100+ marks out of 120 for admission into premier NLUs after the exam pattern was revised.
A good score in MH CET law 2025 in the new pattern is expected to be around 100 marks out of 120, i.e. around 80% marks. As per the old exam pattern a good score in MH CET law 2025 was around 66% marks.
The tables given below provide the overall good score in MH CET law 2025. Also given are the good scores in MH CET 3-year LLB and a good score in MH CET 5-year LLB for the top five law colleges participating in the exams.
