- Candidates have to go through the papers of the previous year and refer to NCERT books, because they will help reinforce the basic concepts.
- Attempting to solve the subject of numerical physics is a significant challenge for students, but daily learning reinforces the computational abilities.
- Keep tabs on time when answering a question. This helps manage the time effectively during the examination.
MHT CET Chemistry Tips
- Chemistry is the subject that has the highest scoring prospects in the MHT CET.
- Students, with a bit of hard work, can get better scores in this segment.
- Mostly, questions concerning chemistry would be asked from the 12th standard syllabus, and you will have to grasp this topic well to ace the exam.

- Numerical chemistry is not very difficult for candidates to reach quite good marks seamlessly.
MHT CET Mathematics Tips
- Mathematics is wholly based on calculations and derivations so you have to work a lot with calculations.
- Concentrate more on topics such as Conic Section with an ellipse, hyperbola, parabola and rectangular parabola, Trigonometry, Vectors, 3D, and Integral Calculus to get good marks.
- Note that there will be no calculator allowed in the test. Manually solve all the questions while practising. That will enable you to increase your speed.
