Executive Summary

The MAH-MBA/MMS-CET 2025 Slot 5 (3rd April 2025 – Morning) was the definition of a “Balanced CET Paper.” It followed a predictable pattern compared to the volatility of earlier days. The interface was stable, sections were clearly divided, and the overall difficulty level was Easy to Moderate. The highlight of this slot was the return of Data Interpretation (DI) in Quant and a heavy focus on Coding-Decoding in Logic.

Parameter	Details
Total Questions	200 Questions (5 Options)
Total Time	150 Minutes
Interface	Section-wise with drop-down navigation
Overall Difficulty	Easy – Moderate
Good Attempts (JBIMS)	145 – 152+
99 Percentile Score	132 – 136 Marks

Section 1: Logical Reasoning (75 Questions)

This section was moderate but lengthy due to the inclusion of 5 Caselets (20 questions). Unlike Slot 2, Slot 5 had a high volume of Coding-Decoding and Family Tree questions which were scoring.

Detailed LR Breakup

Topic	Questions	Level of Difficulty
Logical Caselets/Puzzles	20	Moderate
Coding-Decoding	10	Easy
Odd One Out	05	Easy
Blood Relations	05	Easy-Moderate
Direction Sense	03	Easy
Number & Letter Series	05	Easy
Critical Reasoning	00	N/A (Missing in this slot)
Miscellaneous (Venn, Signs, Age)	27	Moderate
Total	75	Easy-Moderate

CETking G-Strategy Tip: The lack of Critical Reasoning (CR) in this slot was a huge bonus for accuracy. Use the saved CR time to tackle the 3-set Caselets that had at least 12-15 “doable” questions.

Section 2: Abstract Reasoning (25 Questions)

Abstract was the “scoring engine” for Slot 5. The questions were standard visual logic types, though Dot Placement and Similar Relationships had a slightly higher weightage than in previous slots.

Topic	Questions	Easy	Moderate	Difficult
Similar Relationships	07	5	2	0
Series Completion	05	4	1	0
Dot Situation	05	3	2	0
Odd One Out	03	2	1	0

Section 3: Quantitative Aptitude (50 Questions)

The Change: Unlike other slots that were 100% Arithmetic, Slot 5 featured 2 Data Interpretation (DI) sets (~8 questions). However, the section remained calculation-intensive, particularly in the Number System area.

Detailed Quant Breakup

Section 4: Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension (50 Questions)

The VARC section was dominated by Grammar and Vocabulary. While there were 4 Reading Comprehension (RC) passages, they were shorter than those in Slot 2, making it easier to manage time.

Topic	No. of Questions	Level of Difficulty
Reading Comprehension	11 (4 Passages)	Moderate
Error Identification	12	Easy-Moderate
