The Common Entrance Test - Maharashtra (CET) is conducted by the Directorate of Technical Education and is accepted by around 300 Institutes in Maharashtra.

Maharashtra - CET is conducted by the Directorate of Technical Education.

The MAH-CET is generally conducted in the month of February.
The GD and PI are conducted in May/June.


This year MAH-CET will be held on 27 February 2011.

The MAH-CET comprises multiple choice objective type questions

Total Questions : 200
Time : Two and half hours

It tested the following areas:

Reading Comprehension
Verbal Ability
Logical Reasoning
Quantitative Ability
Analytical Reasoning
Mathematical Reasoning
Visual Reasoning
Data Interpretation
Data Sufficiency

This time also marking on OMR sheet had to be done by Black Ball Point pen only.

Contents of the test of verbal ability and reading comprehension:
This is a test to see how well you know English language. In this test there will be passages with questions based on their contents to test your comprehension. Your English Language ability would be tested through questions on grammar, vocabulary, sentence completion, synonyms, antonyms, comprehension of passages etc. Your English language ability would be tested through questions on

(1) understanding of the contents of the passage and
(2) choice of appropriate words, phrases, expressions and similar language skills.

Contents of the test of quantitative aptitutde:
This test helps to know how fast and accurate you can work with numbers, do numerical calculations understand various arithmetic problems involving ratio and proportion, percentage, etc. This test also helps to measure your power of quantitative reasoning, interpretation of tables, common graphs and charts.

Contents of the test of logical / abstract reasoning:
This test measures how quickly and accurately you can think. This test may have questions based on figures and diagrams and also questions on verbal reasoning.

“Difficulties mastered are opportunities won”.

The MAH-CET entrance was the last and final opportunity that came along the MBA pathway. Despite the popularity of other entrances like CAT, XAT, SNAP, FMS to name a few, this time the response to the MAH-CET was overwhelmingly astounding. This MAH-CET the last exam of the MBA season was a momentous exam in your pursuit for an MBA degree.

The Maharashtra MBA CET was held on 21st February 2010 continued with a mix of all possible types of questions, testing the accuracy and speed of the students.

There were a few sitters in the paper but thanks to our series of PreCET papers and CET workshops, as well as a ‘Live Chat’ with our mentors, a few weeks prior to the final CET, our students were aware of the strategy of smart browsing to spot and solve most of the questions easily. To add on, our PreCET-07 was at par with the actual CET paper.

Overall Attemptability

A Total Possible Attempt of 152+ was possible in this year’s MAH-CET and Paper could be termed as Easy to Average.

VERBAL ABILITY / CRITICAL REASONING

Following table gives the break-up of the questions based on Verbal Ability:

Type	Topic	No. of Questions	Difficulty Level
Verbal Ability	Reading Comprehension (Brain Drain - Migration to the US)	15	Easy to Average
	Grammar (Sentence Errors)	10	Easy
	Para Jumble (Questions based on 6 jumbled sentences)	05	Easy to Average
	Fill in the blanks (double blank)	05	Easy to Average
	Multi blanks (Cloze test type)	10	Easy
	Total	45	Easy to Average

Reasoning with words is how we can define Verbal Ability type questions. The colours English language can wear was very evident from this CET paper. The one and only one reading comprehension passage was easy on the eye. The theme of the passage was on the great Indian migration to the US. 

The Cloze test and Fill in the Blanks had easy answer options.

The questions based on grammar were a cakewalk as there were no fundamentals involved. Everything was straightforward.

Definitely a score builder which is a throwback for a Verbal Ability section.

This CET had the standard questions which have appeared in the earlier CETs as well as in the PreCETs which many of you students have appeared for.

 Total Attemptability: 34+

QUANTITATIVE ABILITY
Following table gives the break-up of the questions based on Quantitative Ability:

Type	Topic	No. of Questions	Difficulty Level
Quantitative Ability	Arithmetic Expression (Based on percentage and simplification)	15	Easy to Average
	Permutation and Combination	02	Easy
	Speed, Time and Distance	03	Easy to Average
	Geometry (Mensuration)	02	Easy to Average
	Simple and compound interest	03	Average
	Total	25	Easy to Average

Quantitative Ability is just a misnomer for ‘manipulating numbers’. Questions or problems from this area are usually based on fundamentals taught over a period of time, right from school to college. Playing around with numbers is fun if concepts and grounding in pure mathematics is strong.

There was a strong leaning towards ‘arithmetic’ and ‘simplification’ questions .Many answer options for these problems had the right answer as ‘none of the above’ just to confuse a student! 

Quantitative Ability based questions are more or less uncomplicated to solve but can at times be ‘time-consuming’ if they are calculation intensive, which was not the case in this CET paper. Questions were straightforward and fewer calculations were involved giving the student more time to concentrate on other questions from other areas. 

 Total Attemptability: 22+

DATA INTERPRETATION

Following table gives the break-up of the questions based on Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency:

Type	Topic	No. of Questions	Difficulty Level
Bar Diagram	Cell phone production in different years and percentage	04	Easy
Table	Student intake in college	04	Easy
Table	Student based	05	Easy
Line graph	A,B,C Companies and Market share	05	Easy
Data Sufficiency	Arithmetic and Number based	05	Average
	Total	23	Easy to Average

Gleaning data from a chart or a graph with the data provided is data interpretation. Here skills of observation as well as analyzing are tested to the fore. Practicing such question types on a regular basis will build up your scores.

This area no doubt had fewer questions from that of last year’s CET and there were some DI questions which could be solved ‘eyes closed’!  A definite score builder!  

Data Sufficiency questions test a student’s ability to ‘reason quantitatively’. Here questions were based on concepts and fundamentals of ‘arithmetic’ and ‘numbers’.

 Total Attemptability: 18+

ANALYTICAL REASONING

Following table gives the break-up of the questions based on Analytical Reasoning:

Type	Topic	No. of Questions	Difficulty Level
Analytical Reasoning	Circular Arrangement	05	Easy
	Linear Arrangement	05	Easy
	Decision Making	10	Easy
	Meaningful word	1 + 1	Easy to Average
	Coded statements (statement- conclusion)	05	Easy
Mathematical Reasoning	Number Series (Wrong number in the series)	05	Easy to Average
	Direction Based	01	Average
String Based	Alphabet and number based	01	Easy
	Vowels and consonant based	04	Average
	String based Coding decoding	05
Input-Output	Alphabet and Number Series	05	Easy to Average
Miscellaneous reasoning (verbal)	Strengthening & weakening	03	Average
	Statement & Course of Action	05	Easy to Average
	Cause & Effect statements	05	Easy to Average
Critical Reasoning	Deductive reasoning	05	Easy to Average
	Inductive reasoning (assumption, inference, conclusion)	09	Average to Above Average
	Total	75	Easy to Average

Analytical Reasoning questions tests a student’s interpretational abilities from a given set of conditions or statements. Very often data has to be verified and then computed to reach the solution. The caselets based on ‘arrangements’ were the easiest to tackle.
 
Misscellenous Reasoning (Verbal) based questions mainly dealt with ‘cause and effect’ and ‘course of action’ type problems.

Critical Reasoning based questions evaluate the quality of a student’s thinking which is different from casual or routine thinking. Here no step by step procedures are followed; only clarity, credibility and accuracy are tested.

Attempting Mathematical Reasoning questions on a priority basis would have been the best strategy for saving time in this area.

 Total Attemptability: 54+

VISUAL REASONING

Following table gives the break-up of the questions based on Visual Reasoning:

Type	Topic	No. of Questions	Difficulty Level
Visual Reasoning	Next figure in the series	10	Easy to Average
	Odd man out	06	Easy to Average
	Odd man out (based on two figures)	06	Easy to Average
	Middle figure in the series	05	Easy to Average
	Series completion	05	Easy
	Total	32	Easy to Average

Conceiving and manipulating objects in the mind’s eye before putting it down on paper is what questions based on Visual Reasoning demand. These question types were notably the difficult part of this CET paper. A manager is one who is able to discover the unexpected; provide timely, defensible, and understandable assessments; and communicate assessment effectively for action, so this is precisely why Visual Reasoning plays such an important role in many MBA Entrances.

No. It is not necessary that students need to be from premier colleges. You get into a B-school on the basis of your performance in the entrance exams conducted by the B-schools themselves.

MBA, being a master's degree, requires the aspirant to be a graduate. That means, you must have a Bachelor's Degree from any university incorporated by an act of the Central or State government of India, any other educational institution established by an act of Parliament or any institution deemed as such under section 3 of the UGC Act 1956. This also includes any equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India. Your Bachelor's Degree or equivalent qualification must have covered a minimum of three years of education after completing higher secondary schooling, which is a total of 10+2+3 years.

In simple terms, CET tests managerial abilities in a candidate through Mathematics and English. This means that you will be required to interlink concepts in order to solve a particular problem. Your ability to apply concepts to practical situations is what will be tested.

Once you start taking section tests and comprehensive tests, it becomes important to analyze each of the tests that you take. This will help identify the areas/topics that you are weak at and still need brushing up before you take the next test.

1. Analyze your area-wise/topic-wise performance to identify potential areas for improvement.
2. Work on the identified areas, through determined practice using

Concept Books
Section Tests and Comprehensive Tests

After you take each test, do analyze it well. Analysis would take a lot of time, do not take this as a waste of time, and instead convert this into a learning process. For all correct answers, compare your method with the Explanatory Answers, check if you can attempt it faster and practice the new method, if any. For all incorrect answers, reattempt the questions with no time limits. You need to understand as to why did you make the mistake was it conceptual/silly mistake/incorrect interpretation. Learn from your mistakes and ensure that you do not commit them in future.

The areas that are tested in English are verbal ability, reading comprehension and composition skills. This means that you need to build an overall aptitude in English. Good command over English language is a must in order to succeed in CET. In fact, you will observe that you need good English even to attempt the quantitative and data interpretation sections.

Reading a newspaper like The Times of India / The Hindu, a business daily like The Economic Times / Business Standard and political and business magazines should become a daily habit for all CET applicants. Further,

Read any section in the newspaper, especially the editorial one.

Timing yourself while reading is important. You should be able to read 200 to 250 words a minute.

Write a summary ( about 100 to 150 words ) every day on the topic you have read. It will help in    building your thought process which is crucial in CET.

Make a note of the difficult words and look up their meanings from the Oxford English dictionary. Try and   maintain a notebook/prepare flash cards that you can go through in your free time.

  Reading would also help keep updated on the events going around thus building on your general   awareness that would be helpful during the group discussion and personal interview rounds.

It is very important to be honest in your application forms. Do not fill any information that is untrue. Certain questions in the forms ask you about Career Goals, Strengths, Weaknesses, etc. They are deliberately there to help the B-school know a little bit more about you and are often referred to during the interview. It is highly recommended to keep a photocopy of every form that you fill so that you can revise what you have written before the interview.

Percentile: Percentile indicates student's relative performance position among the total students who took the exam.

Percentage: The % score represents normalized percentage of scores secured by the candidate. It is a relative method of representing the score. This is not the actual % score.

For example – A 99 percentile means that the student is among the top 1 percent of the population who took the exam.

No. One needs to keep in mind that cut-offs are only one of the many evaluation tools that the B-Schools use to shortlist candidates. The other prominent factors are past academic performance, work experience if any, extra curricular activities and achievements etc.

Work experience is not mandatory criteria for making it to any B-School. However, having work experience does add to your profile. None the less, you need to prove your worth at the time of the GD/PI rounds. This implies that the panel needs to be convinced about what you have learnt at the job and contributed positively to the organization. The way you present yourself and your approach towards the questions plays a vital role in the outcome of your interview. Remember, you will be pitched against the best minds during the GD/PI rounds. So you need to be at your best to make sure you get the final call.

The duration of CET is 2 hours 30 minutes and has a maximum of 200 marks.

Maharashtra	NO	Yes, Mandatory	Yes, Mandatory
Maharashtra	YES	Yes, but not Mandatory	Yes, Mandatory
OMS	NO	Yes, Mandatory	Yes, Mandatory
OMS	YES	Yes, but not Mandatory	Yes, Mandatory

The cut-off marks in CET is the minimum score by the candidate, which makes him/her eligible to seek the Admission to MBA/MMS course in the State of Maharashtra. The cut-off mark in MAH-MBA/MMS-CET 2011 is 30 marks out of 200. In case of All India CET [CAT-2010] the Cut-off is the percentile in these CETs equivalent to percentile corresponding to 30 marks in MAH-MBA/MMS-CET 2011.

For the year 2011-12, the score of the MAT will not be considered for admission to MBA/MMS course through CAP.

If you have scores in both of the CETs i.e. CAT 2010 and MAH-CET 2011, then best of the two scores shall be considered for deciding the merit for ALL India Seats subject to the fulfillment of condition of the cut-off marks.

The documents are required to be submitted during the Stage of Registration for Centralized Admission Process. This stage is tentatively scheduled in May 2011. Candidates are required to arrange for the requisite documents in time. No documents will be accepted after the last date for the confirmation of the Application of Registration for Centralized Admission Process at ARC. Exact schedule for this activity will be notified.

No documents are need to submitted at the time of online Registration for CET (in Jan./Feb. 2011) or at the time of online Registration for CET (in May 2011).
