MH-CET Law (Maharashtra Common Entrance Test for Law) is conducted by the State Common Entrance Test Cell of Maharashtra. It is an annual state-level admission exam used to determine admission to 3-year and 5-year LL.B. degree programs.
As per Slot 1 & Slot 2 of the paper, the general perception on the overall difficulty level of the exam was categorized as Easy to Moderate, making it accessible to well-prepared candidates but also increasing competition(cutoffs).
Considering the relatively student-friendly nature of the paper, the cutoff scores are likely to remain on the higher side. This trend is expected to be even more pronounced for OMS (Outside Maharashtra State) candidates, given the heightened competition and limited seats.

Slot 2 Analysis:
The English section was fairly easy. The 24 questions of the section will include questions on idioms, active-passive forms, vocabulary (synonyms, antonyms, analogies, etc.), tenses, and 2 RC passages. 16 questions were of easy difficulty level, 5-6 were of moderate level, and only 2-3 questions were difficult.
