MHCET Law (MAH CET Law) is a state-level entrance exam conducted by the State CET Cell, Maharashtra, for admission to 3-year and 5-year LLB courses in government, aided, and unaided law colleges in the state. Colleges like Government Law College (GLC) Mumbai and Rizvi Law College are among the top and most preferred options because of their academic reputation, experienced faculty, affordable fees, and strong alumni base.

About the exam pattern, MHCET Law is a computer-based test. For the 5-year LLB, the paper usually consists of around 150 multiple-choice questions to be solved in 120 minutes. The sections include Legal Aptitude and Legal Reasoning, General Knowledge with Current Affairs, Logical and Analytical Reasoning, English, and Basic Mathematics. For the 3-year LLB, the exam pattern is similar but without the Mathematics section, and the focus is slightly more on legal reasoning and general awareness. Each question generally carries one mark, there is no negative marking, and speed with accuracy is very important.

Regarding preparation strategy, start by understanding the syllabus and exam pattern clearly. Legal aptitude should be your top priority, as it carries significant weightage and helps in differentiating ranks. Practice legal reasoning questions daily to improve comprehension and application of legal principles. For general knowledge and current affairs, make it a habit to read newspapers regularly and revise important national and international events, legal news, and static GK. Logical reasoning requires consistent practice of puzzles, syllogisms, assumptions, and arguments. For English, focus on reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar basics, and sentence correction. If you are appearing for the 5-year LLB exam, revise basic mathematics topics like percentages, profit and loss, averages, ratios, and simple interest.

For books, you can rely on standard law entrance preparation material that covers legal aptitude and reasoning clearly with practice questions. Books for logical reasoning and general aptitude are also useful, along with a good current affairs compilation for the exam year. Solving previous years’ question papers and taking mock tests is extremely important, as it helps you understand the difficulty level, manage time better, and identify your weak areas.

As for timings and exam schedule, the notification for MHCET Law is usually released in the first half of the year, with the exam conducted a few months later. After the results, centralized counselling (CAP rounds) is conducted where seats are allotted based on rank, category, domicile status, and college preference. To get into top colleges like GLC Mumbai or Rizvi Law College, you need a strong score and a good rank, especially under the Maharashtra domicile category.

If you prepare consistently, focus on legal reasoning and current affairs, and practice mock tests regularly, you will have a good chance of securing admission in your preferred law college. All the best.
