Here's the section-wise MAH MBA CET exam analysis of the 2021 question paper to get an idea of the overall difficulty level of the MAH MBA CET 2022 exam.

MAH MBA CET- Quantitative Aptitude Analysis

In the first CET session, there were around 50 questions on Quantitative Aptitude. There were no questions on data interpretation, quantitative comparison, approximations, or data sufficiency, which was a significant change from previous years. Compared to previous years, the quantitative aptitude exam's question difficulty level was lower.

Arithmetic questions predominated the Quantitative Aptitude questions. About 25 questions covered mathematics, covering all of its subtopics (including Time-Speed-Distance, Averages, Ratio-Proportion, Time & Work, Mixtures & Allegations, Percentages, Simple and Compound Interest).

In addition, questions on factors, multiples, and surds were asked from Numbers (4 to 5 questions), Geometry (3 to 4 questions on mensuration and circles), Modern Mathematics (4 questions on logarithms, probability, and AP-GP), and algebra (2 to 3 questions). There were also five separate questions on number series in addition to these.

According to the MAH MBA CET exam analysis 2021 by experts, a genuine attempt of around 38-40 questions would be considered a good attempt.

MAH MBA CET- Test of Logical Reasoning Analysis

Non-verbal reasoning questions predominated the logical reasoning questions. There were roughly 50 to 55 non-verbal reasoning questions and 20 verbal reasoning questions. In the Non-Verbal Reasoning section, there were 55 questions total, of which 40 were set-based (8 sets of 5 questions each), and 15 were stand-alone. On sequential output or selection criteria, there were no questions.

Four of the eight sets were on arrangements. One set was in a linear arrangement with family relations, while two sets were in a matrix configuration. Linear arrangements and conditionality were integrated into one set. One set was built solely on family relations. One caselet blended the ideas of time and work. That set was a little challenging. There was one set on scheduling.

The 15 stand-alone non-verbal reasoning questions included a variety of subjects, including puzzles, instructions, and letter coding.

There were roughly 19 to 20 questions of the following kinds in the Verbal Reasoning section: Analogies and syllogisms, Assertion-Reason, Strengthen/Weaken the Argument, and Cause-Effect reasoning. The majority of verbal reasoning problems were syllogism questions, which were easier to answer because of their familiarity. The remaining verbal thinking tests ranged from easy to moderately tough.

If the MAH MBA CET exam analysis is to be considered, a genuine attempt of around 42-45 questions would be considered good in this section.

MAH MBA CET- Test of Abstract Reasoning Analysis

The Abstract Reasoning section has roughly 25 questions. Similar to other years, there were questions on analogies, the odd man out, and series completion. In addition, after a long absence, questions on paper folding were brought back to CET. One question incorporated several multiple "odd man out" questions. All other questions were fairly simple, however, one was somewhat difficult. In this part, an attempt of roughly 18–20 questions would be regarded as a decent attempt according to the MAH MBA CET exam analysis 2021.
