Chemistry - Solid State

Practise 33 MHT-CET (PCB) previous year questions on Solid State, 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.

Solid State has been asked in 1 of the 1 years of MHT-CET (PCB) papers analysed (2026), with 33 questions in all. 64% of them were easy, 36% moderate and 0% tough. Most of its questions came from 2026, with 33 questions that year. In 2026 it had 33 questions across 11 papers, about 3 per paper.

The chapter's 6 topics are not weighted equally: Cubic system (20 questions, 61%), Crystal Structure of Solids (4 questions, 12%), and Properties and Types of Solids (3 questions, 9%) have been asked the most.
