Hi aspirant,

  • It depends on whether you want to study in Maharashtra as a student from another state. The MH CET (Maharashtra Common Entrance Test) is organized for courses such as engineering, pharmacy, and agriculture. If you are from another state, you can take the exam under the All-India quota.
  • A score of 99.5 percentile in MH CET is excellent and can help you secure admission to any top government or private college. However, there are limits on the number of seats available for All India quota students.
  • If you are planning to pursue engineering, you should consider taking the JEE Mains instead of the MH CET. Scoring in the 95+ percentile in JEE Mains can also qualify you for top IITs or NITs in Maharashtra or even in your home state.

To assist you with the MHCET exam, here is a detailed guide.

Hey!!! I have prepared a 10 day plan for you to prepare for your MHT CET exams :-

First 3 days

  • Morning (3 hrs): Pick one subject (Maths/Bio). Go over main formulas, rules, and practice problems.
  • Afternoon (3 hrs): Pick another subject (Physics/Chem). Revise formulas, how things work, and solve number problems.
  • Evening (2 hrs): Quickly look at the formulas and main ideas from the day. Solve a couple of old MHT CET questions on those topics.

Next 3 Days

  • Morning (3 hrs): Take a full old MHT CET paper (PCM or PCB). Stick to the real exam time.
  • Afternoon (3 hrs): Check your answers. See where you went wrong and why. Note down what you need to work on.
  • Evening (2 hrs): Study the topics you messed up in the practice paper. Do more MCQs on those specific things.

Days 7-8

  • Morning (3 hrs): Take a practice test that feels like the real MHT CET.
  • Afternoon (3 hrs): See how you did. Find your strong and weak points. Understand why you got things wrong.
  • Evening (2 hrs): Really focus on the topics you struggled with in the mock test. Quickly go over important formulas for everything.

Day 9

  • Morning (4 hrs): Go through all the main formulas, ideas, and important stuff for all subjects. Focus on what you're already good at to feel confident.
  • Afternoon (3 hrs): Try some harder MCQs to get your brain working.
  • Evening (1 hr): Think about how you'll tackle the exam. Decide which sections to do first. Don't try to learn anything new.

Day 10

  • Morning: Just quickly look at the most important formulas and ideas. Don't push yourself too hard.
  • Afternoon: Relax, drink water, and make sure you have everything you need for the exam.
  • Evening: Get a good night's sleep. Being calm and rested helps a lot.

I hope this helps.
