Expert take: what MHT-CET really tests
MHT-CET rewards Class 12 mastery and speed under a no-negative-marking format, and its 80% weight on the Class 12 syllabus (with Maths worth double) means the state board, not JEE-level trickery, decides the score. Percentile normalisation across shifts makes accuracy and attempting everything the winning play.
Preparation tips
- Master the Maharashtra Board Class 12 syllabus first — about 80% of questions come from it.
- Maths carries 2 marks per question and there is no negative marking, so attempt every Maths question.
- Build speed for the 90-minute-per-group timing with regular timed practice.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Preparing like JEE and over-indexing on Class 11 when Class 12 dominates the paper.
- Leaving questions blank when there is no penalty for a wrong answer.
