MHT CET is the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test conducted by the state common entrance cell,  Government of Maharashtra for admission to undergraduate courses such as B.Tech/B.E ,B.Pharma, Pharma offered at colleges in Maharashtra. It is conducted across Maharashtra and outside the state also.

The eligibility criteria for MHT CET Is that the candidates must have passed 10+2 from a recognized board with a  score of at least 50% (45% for reserved categories).

Exam pattern is as follows:

Number of papers - 3

• Paper 1- Mathematics
• Paper 2- Physics and Chemistry
• Paper 3- Biology

Type of questions – Objective

Total marks – 300

Number of questions – 250

2 marks will be given for every correct answer in mathematics and 1 mark for every correct answer in physics/chemistry and biology. There will be no negative marking in the paper.

The syllabus for Physics section in MHT CET is: Measurements, Scalars and Vectors, Force, Friction in Solids and Liquids, Magnetism, Ray Optics, Light, Magnetic Effects of Electric Current.

You can refer to the following books for preparation of physics:

• Concepts of Physics- Vol.1 H.C. Verma
• Concepts of Physics- Vol.2 H.C. Verma
• MHT CET Physics (Marvel) by AJ Bapat
• Complete Reference Manual MH CET Physics M.K. Dikshit (Arihant Publication)

Most of the questions are based on the concepts of 11 ^th and 12 ^th syllabus. So, you should thoroughly revise and practice the concepts of both the classes.  Physics requires more practice as it consists of mathematical calculations, theory as well as derivations. Try solving the questions after revising the concepts thoroughly. Regular study and practice will improve your concepts and time management.
