Thus, it is important to know the weightage of subject-wise as well as chapter-wise to gain maximum marks. Praking into consideration the previous years' proof,almost 80% of questions are asked to be from Class 12, while rest 20% comes from Class 11.When comparative weightage between these subjects is taken into account, Mathematics has the maximum followed by Physics and Chemistry, which means a well-balanced approach, along with strategic preparation, is required.
MHT CET 2026 Question Paper & Exam Analysis April 11 Shift 1
| Overall Difficulty Level of Question Paper | Moderate |
| Physics Difficulty Level | Moderate to Difficult |
| Maths Difficulty Level | Moderate to Difficult |
| Chemistry Difficulty Level | Easy to Moderate |
| Was the Question Paper Lengthy | Yes |
- As per a few candidates from Pune, overall, the question appeared to be moderate
- Shailesh Jhadhav felt thatPhysics was more difficult than I imagined, particularly the EMI and Oscillations challenges. Chemistry was a relief, and overall, if you've practised properly, it should be manageable.
- As per Aarav Deshmukh,Math was the most time-consuming. There were some tricky substitutes in the integration questions. However, if you have previously solved MHT CET PYQs, you will know the majority of the question patterns. Overall, this was a good paper.
