Preparing for Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MAH-CET)

The candidates should prepare very well for the exam. The candidates should practice very well so that, they can answer all the questions in the allowed time itself. They can get an idea about the pattern of exam by solving previous year question papers. Candidates can also join entrance coaching centers like IMS, Career Launcher and TIME. This will help them to increase their performance. It will be better if the students are studying with the help of a study time table. This helps them to complete the syllabus in the allowed time and also improves the confidence level of candidates. It will be better if the candidates are revising the topics one or two times before the examination.
