The registration process is ongoing on the official website, cetcell.mahacet.org.

 

The MH CET Law 2025 exam for the 3-year LLB course will now be conducted on May 3 and 4, while the 5-year LLB exam will take place on April 28, 2025. The CET Cell has also released the syllabus for both programs. The 5-year LLB exam will include five subjects: Legal Aptitude and Reasoning, General Knowledge and Current Affairs, Logical and Analytical Reasoning, English, and Mathematics.
