Understanding MHT-CET 2024 Exam Pattern

The Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET) is the gateway to engineering and pharmacy colleges across Maharashtra. For 2024, the exam pattern remains unchanged with three sections: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

Each section contains 50 questions worth 100 marks, with 90 minutes allocated per subject. The exam focuses heavily on Class 11 and 12 syllabus from the Maharashtra State Board.

Subject-wise Important Topics

Physics (20% Weightage)

Focus on these high-weightage chapters that typically appear in MHT-CET:

Electrostatics (8-10 questions), Current Electricity (6-8 questions), Magnetic Effects of Current (5-7 questions), and Optics (4-6 questions). Numerical problems from Electrostatics and Current Electricity contribute to 30% of Physics marks.

Chemistry (30% Weightage)

Chemistry is divided into three sections with these key areas:

Physical Chemistry: Chemical Thermodynamics, Electrochemistry, Chemical Kinetics. Organic Chemistry: Alcohols/Phenols, Carbonyl Compounds. Inorganic Chemistry: p-Block and d-Block Elements.

3-Month Intensive Study Plan

Here's a proven study schedule used by top scorers:

Phase 1 (Weeks 1-4): Foundation building with 6 hours daily study (2 hrs per subject). Complete NCERT theory and basic concepts using Maharashtra State Board textbooks.

Phase 2 (Weeks 5-8): Advanced problem solving with emphasis on previous year questions. Focus on time management and test-taking strategies.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Ignoring Maharashtra syllabus - 15% questions come directly from state board books.

2. Overlooking Biology section - Crucial for Pharma aspirants (separate paper).

3. Studying new topics in final weeks - Stick to your prepared material.
