Slot 4 of MAH MBA CET 2026 continued the trend seen in earlier slots, with the paper being rated easy to moderate overall. While the difficulty level remained manageable, the paper was lengthy in parts, particularly in Logical Reasoning, making time management crucial.

With 200 questions to be attempted in 150 minutes and no negative marking, the exam once again rewarded candidates who focused on maximizing attempts while maintaining accuracy and avoiding time traps.

Overview:

Key Highlights

• The paper was easy to moderate with a strong focus on speed
• Logical Reasoning was time-consuming despite straightforward questions
• VARC was easy and highly scoring
• Quant included Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency
• Abstract Reasoning remained easy with familiar patterns
• Students reported very high attempts, often crossing 180

Section-wise Highlights:

Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC):

The VARC section was easy and scoring, with most students finding it comfortable.

There were 4 Reading Comprehension passages with 5 questions each, accounting for 20 questions. The RCs were relatively straightforward and could often be answered through skimming rather than detailed reading.

The Verbal Ability section had a strong focus on vocabulary and grammar.

Breakdown

Overall, this section allowed students to attempt a high number of questions with good accuracy.

Quantitative Aptitude:

The Quant section was easy to moderate, with most questions being direct and formula-based.

There was a balanced mix of Arithmetic and Data Interpretation, along with a noticeable presence of Data Sufficiency questions.

Breakdown

Both DI sets were very easy and could be solved quickly.

The section was highly attemptable, though students needed to avoid getting stuck in calculation-heavy questions.

Logical Reasoning:

Logical Reasoning was easy in terms of concepts but lengthy due to the number of questions and variety of topics.

The section consisted mostly of singlet questions, with 1–2 small sets of 2–3 questions each.

Breakdown

Key Observations

• No Critical Reasoning questions
• Majority of questions were direct and solvable quickly
• A few questions required careful reading and attention

Students consistently reported that while LR was easy, it was the most time-consuming section.

Abstract Reasoning:

Abstract Reasoning was easy and highly scoring.

The section included a mix of series, odd one out, figure counting, and pattern-based questions. Most questions were straightforward and similar to previous years, allowing students to attempt almost the entire section comfortably.

Student Sentiment:

Student feedback for Slot 4 remained consistent with earlier slots.

The paper was easy to moderate but lengthy, with Logical Reasoning being the most time-consuming section.

A broader concern reported across multiple slots was the user interface and center experience. Students highlighted issues such as difficulty in viewing the entire question at once and inconsistent zoom functionality.

However, many students were able to adapt by adjusting the zoom settings, which helped fit the full question on the screen and improved readability.

Despite these challenges, many students reported:

• 180+ attempts
• A few flukes towards the end due to time constraints

Overall Takeaway:

Slot 4 of MAH MBA CET 2026 reinforced the overall pattern seen across slots so far.

• The paper was not conceptually difficult but required speed and stamina
• VARC and Abstract Reasoning were highly scoring sections
• Quant was straightforward with the addition of Data Sufficiency
• Logical Reasoning required efficient time management despite easy questions

Given the consistently easy-to-moderate level and high attempts reported, the cutoff for this slot is expected to be on the higher side.

It is important to note that MAH MBA CET follows a slot-wise percentile system, where candidates are evaluated relative to others in the same slot. Performance should therefore be assessed based on competition within the slot.
