Biology - Evolution

Practise 47 MHT-CET (PCB) previous year questions on Evolution, compiled from papers in 2026. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty MHT-CET (PCB) tests.

Evolution has been asked in 1 of the 1 years of MHT-CET (PCB) papers analysed (2026), with 47 questions in all. 38% of them were easy, 62% moderate and 0% tough. Most of its questions came from 2026, with 47 questions that year. In 2026 it had 47 questions across 11 papers, about 4.3 per paper.

The chapter's 7 topics are not weighted equally: Modern Theory of Evolution (15 questions, 32%), Evidences of Evolution (14 questions, 30%), and The Earth (7 questions, 15%) have been asked the most.
