MH CET LAW 2027, conducted by the State Common Entrance Test Cell, Maharashtra, is expected to be held in CBT (Computer-Based Test) mode — the 3-Year LLB exam in April 2027 and the 5-Year LLB exam in May 2027 (tentative, based on historical scheduling). As of August 2026, the official notification and schedule for MH CET LAW 2027 have not yet been released by the CET Cell. This page provides a comprehensive expected paper analysis for 2027, drawing on 2026 paper data and multi-year historical trends.
Students who appeared for MH CET LAW 2026 described the 5-Year LLB paper as Easy to Moderate overall. Basic Mathematics was the easiest section, followed by English. Legal Aptitude had some unexpected situation-based questions, while GK with Current Affairs remained moderately unpredictable — around 6–7 questions drawn from events of the preceding 12 months. Collegedunia gathered feedback from students at exam centres across Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, and Aurangabad after the 2026 exam.
The overall paper was easier than I had anticipated. Legal Aptitude had a few tricky scenario-based questions that needed careful reading, but the rest was very manageable. I attempted 113 questions and am confident of scoring 108–112. Maths was a gift — all 8 questions done in under 5 minutes.
- MH CET LAW 2027 is expected in April 2027 (3-Year LLB) and May 2027 (5-Year LLB); the official notification is expected in early 2027.
- Both papers carry 120 questions worth 120 marks, completed in 2 hours in CBT mode.
- There is no negative marking — attempting all 120 questions is strongly recommended.
- The paper is expected to be Easy to Moderate, continuing the post-2024 trend of more accessible papers with rising cutoffs.
- Legal Aptitude & Legal Reasoning and English Language are historically the most scoring sections and are expected to remain so in 2027.
- GK & Current Affairs is the most variable and unpredictable section — cover events from the last 12 months before the exam.
- Expected good attempts for a safe score: 100–112 out of 120, with at least 90% accuracy.
Based on MH CET LAW 2026 analysis and multi-year historical trends, the expected score range for securing admission to top Maharashtra law colleges (GLC Mumbai, ILS Pune) in 2027 is approximately 95–108 marks out of 120.

Expert Review — MH CET LAW 2027 (Based on Historical Analysis)
Law entrance coaching institutes have analysed historical MH CET LAW data and offer the following insights for 2027 preparation. Expert review of the actual 2027 paper will be added here once the exam concludes.
- Maharashtra law entrance educators note that the paper has moved consistently toward easier difficulty since 2024, making structured daily preparation more rewarding than last-minute cramming.
- With no negative marking, experts uniformly advise that attempting all 120 questions is non-negotiable. Even on uncertain GK questions, a random attempt has a 25% success probability — which adds up meaningfully across several uncertain questions.
- Coaching institutes highlight that the key differentiator in 2026 was accuracy in Legal Aptitude and Reasoning, not just the number of attempts. Students who read scenario-based legal questions slowly and carefully outperformed those who rushed.
- Experts at leading Maharashtra law coaching institutes specifically warn that GK with Current Affairs is the "wildcard" section — covering national political news, Supreme Court judgments, and Maharashtra-specific events each month through April 2027 is essential.
- For the 5-Year LLB exam, educators recommend starting with Basic Mathematics (bank 8 easy marks in 5–7 minutes), then English, then Legal Aptitude, and saving Logical Reasoning for last as it is the most time-intensive section.
MH CET LAW 2027 Expected Cutoff
The following cutoff estimates are based on 2025 and 2026 actual data, adjusted for the anticipated difficulty level of the 2027 paper. Official MH CET LAW 2027 cutoffs will be released by the State CET Cell, Maharashtra during the counselling process and will be updated on this page at that time.
| Category | MH CET LAW 2026 Cutoff (Reference) | MH CET LAW 2027 Expected Cutoff |
|---|---|---|
| General — Top Colleges (GLC Mumbai, ILS Pune) | 95+ marks | 95–108 marks |
| General — Tier 2 Law Colleges | 80–94 marks | 78–95 marks |
| OBC | 70–85 marks | 68–85 marks |
| SC | 55–70 marks | 52–68 marks |
| ST | 45–60 marks | 42–58 marks |
| VJ / NT / SBC | 55–70 marks | 52–68 marks |
Note: If the 2027 paper is easier than 2026 (as was the case from 2024 to 2025), cutoffs may rise by 3–5 marks across all categories. A harder paper would bring cutoffs down by a similar margin.

MH CET LAW Paper Analysis Last 8 Years (2019–2026)
MH CET LAW in its current centralized CBT format has been conducted since 2019. The historical table below captures year-wise difficulty trends. Important: The exam format changed in 2024, reducing total questions from 150 to 120 — good-attempt figures are not directly comparable across this boundary.
- The exam maintained a Moderate difficulty level from 2019 to 2023; 2021 stands out as the toughest year, especially for Legal Aptitude and Logical Reasoning.
- From 2024 onwards, the paper became considerably easier — 2025 was rated "Super Easy" by multiple coaching institutes, with legal reasoning questions the most straightforward in the exam’s history.
- This easing of difficulty has driven rising cutoff scores and percentiles — top college cutoffs have increased from around 75–80% to 95+ marks (out of 120) in 2025–26.
- GK & Current Affairs has shown increasing dominance of static GK since 2023, making preparation more structured and predictable in that section.
- English Language has been the easiest section in every single year from 2019 to 2026 — the most consistent pattern in the exam’s history.
| Year | Format | Overall Difficulty | Legal Aptitude | GK & Current Affairs | Logical Reasoning | English | Good Attempts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 120 questions | Easy–Moderate | Moderate | Moderate | Moderate | Easy–Moderate | 105–115 |

MH CET LAW Section-wise Dominance (2019–2026)
| Section | 8-Year Trend (2019–2026) |
|---|---|
| Legal Aptitude & Legal Reasoning | Consistently Moderate across all 8 years. Scenario-based legal reasoning is a permanent fixture. 2021 saw the toughest Legal Aptitude; post-2024 questions have become more direct and accessible. This section carries the highest weightage (32 questions in the current format) and remains the exam’s defining section. |
| GK with Current Affairs | The most variable section year to year. Static GK has dominated since 2023, covering Indian History, Polity, and Geography. CA questions (6–8 per paper) consistently focus on legal news, national events, judicial appointments, and sports. 2024 was the easiest GK year in the exam’s history. |
| Logical & Analytical Reasoning | Moderate difficulty throughout; consistently the most time-consuming section. Seating arrangement and syllogisms are perennial favourites. 2021 had the toughest Reasoning section in the exam’s history. Difficulty has eased post-2024, but time pressure remains significant. |
