MAH- MBA CET – Paper Pattern and Analysis

The CET 2011 paper that was held on 27^th February 2011 was nothing short of traumatic for most of the students. It was by far the toughest one out of the last 8 years CET papers. The CET 2010, held on 21 February 2010, was easier as compared 2009. The question types, the paper pattern and the distribution of marks were different when compared to the last 8 years papers.
