MBA CET 2025 Slot 4 Paper Analysis | Difficulty Level, Score vs Percentile, and Section-wise Strategy

The MBA CET 2025 Slot 4, conducted in April’s final test window, proved to be one of the most balanced yet time-intensive slots. With over 200 questions across Logical Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, Abstract Reasoning, and Verbal Ability, the exam tested aspirants on speed, precision, and endurance.

This analysis decodes each section’s weightage, question types, difficulty level, and ideal number of attempts. Use this as a benchmarking tool for cutoff prediction for JBIMS, SIMSREE, PUMBA, or for framing your MBA CET 2026 strategy.

Logical Reasoning – Puzzle-Heavy and Moderately Tough

The Logical Reasoning section remained the dominant force with about 70–75 questions, spread across:

Seating Arrangements and Team-Based Puzzles: Q23–Q38 included puzzles on color-coding, days of the week, departments, and ranks — each demanding logical deductions through elimination and tabulation.
Direction and Ranking: Q19–Q22
Statement-Conclusion, Syllogisms, Cause-Effect: Q46–Q49
Coding-Decoding & Series: Q50–Q56

The most challenging parts were multi-condition puzzles (e.g., spinner hometown and team combinations) where overlapping clues increased complexity. Questions like Q32–Q34 about weights involved logical assumptions (e.g., assuming “E” as 2x to derive others), reflecting typical CET style.

Difficulty Level: Moderate
Good Attempts: 50–55
Score Benchmark for 99%ile: 125+
Time to Allocate: 70–75 minutes

Abstract Reasoning – Visual Deduction & Pattern Logic

The Abstract Reasoning (AR) section consisted of 25 questions, mostly visual sequence and classification-based:

Odd-One-Out & Symmetry Patterns (Q5, Q6, Q7, Q23)
Rotation, Reflection, and Sequence Series (Q1–Q4, Q14, Q21, Q22)
Group Classification based on embedded features (Q24, Q25)

Classic CET patterns were evident, e.g., “black dots rotating anti-clockwise,” or “shapes increasing/decreasing by count.” Quick scanning and consistent AR practice gave candidates an edge here.

Difficulty Level: Easy to Moderate
Good Attempts: 20–23
Score Benchmark: 18–20
Time Required: 20 minutes

Quantitative Aptitude – Mix of Arithmetic, Geometry & Word Problems

Quantitative Aptitude in Slot 4 featured 50+ questions, spanning diverse math topics. While no DI sets dominated, numerous standalone logic-based numerical problems appeared.

Prominent topics included:

Arithmetic: Profit-Loss (Q16–Q18), Mixtures (Q22), Ratio (Q24), Simple and Compound Interest
Geometry & Mensuration: Q19, Q25 – Perimeter and folding logic
Algebra & Number Theory: HCF-LCM (Q5), Squares (Q3), Remainders (Q1)
Time-Speed-Distance & Work: Q32 (machines’ efficiency), Q47 (pipes), Q50 (race problem)

Some questions tested alternate logic like assumption-based weight deduction, or reverse engineering. Q47’s pipe problem combined time with conversion for effective calculations.

Difficulty Level: Moderate
Good Attempts: 38–42
Score Benchmark for 99%ile: 45+
Time to Allocate: 55–60 minutes

Verbal Ability – Vocabulary, Grammar & Dense RCs

The Verbal Ability section included reading comprehension (RCs), para-jumbles, sentence errors, vocabulary, and idioms/phrases.

Key Highlights:

Para-Jumbles & Sequence Formation: Q1–Q5, Q24–Q25 – required understanding logical flow and connectors.
Vocabulary:
- Synonyms (Q11–Q15)
- Antonyms (Q16–Q18)
- One-word substitutions (Q19–Q20)
Grammar & Error Spotting: Q21–Q23
Idioms & Phrases:
- “To catch a tartar” (Q27)
- “To serve a private end” (Q28)
Critical Reasoning & Analogies: Q38–Q45

Reading comprehension was more scattered than in Slot 3 but included dense logic-based evaluation (Q32 on freedom and efficiency). Grammar-based questions like Q21 (“got” vs “get”) tested tense consistency.

Difficulty Level: Moderate
Good Attempts: 40–45
Score Benchmark: 38–42
Time to Allocate: 40 minutes

MBA CET 2025 Slot 4 – Score vs Percentile Prediction

Based on student performance and historical CET trends:

Raw Score	Expected Percentile	Notes
140+	99.9+	JBIMS sure call
130–139	99.7 – 99.89	Top 1% zone
120–129	99.0 – 99.6	Safe for SIMSREE, Welingkar
110–119	97.0 – 98.9	Tier-1 college entry
100–109	94.0 – 96.9	Mid-tier options open
<100	Below 94	Risk zone

Slot 4 vs Other Slots – Comparative Difficulty

Section	Slot 1	Slot 2	Slot 3	Slot 4
Logical Reasoning	Balanced	Lengthy caselets	Abstract puzzles	Heavier logic & assumptions
Abstract Reasoning	Classic & Easy	Visual tricks	Slight twists	Grouping + Symmetry based
Quant Aptitude	Manageable	DI-Driven Logic	Long calculations	Varied arithmetic/geometry
Verbal Ability	Vocab-heavy	Grammar + RCs	Dense RCs	Mix of vocab, idioms, CR
Overall Difficulty	Moderate	Slightly tough	Time-intensive	Balanced, but puzzle-heavy

Final Takeaways for MBA CET 2026 Preparation

LR is make-or-break: Solve 10+ puzzles daily (floor/day/rank/arrangement based)
Abstract Reasoning is scoring: Work on pattern identification and symmetry logic
Quant: Strengthen arithmetic and word-based logic
Verbal: Build vocab & grammar foundation. Focus on RC inference-type questions
