Two CET Attempts — Make Each One Count
From 2026 onwards, Maharashtra has announced MBA CET 2026 will be conducted twice a year — essentially giving you two live attempts in the same cycle.
Tips to Maximize Your 100 days Preparation
Mock Tests are Your Compass
Mocks help you track progress & pacing — don’t just take them, analyse them.
Track Strengths & Weaknesses Weekly
If a topic still feels tough after multiple mocks — reset your approach.
Revision > New Learning in last 30 days
Last-minute cramming rarely moves scores up; revision does.
Health Matters Too
Good sleep, breaks, and balanced routine = better cognitive performance.
Final Word
Cracking MH-MBA CET in around 3 months is not just about hours spent — it’s about smart progress tracking, structured revisions, mock test performance and learning from each simulation. Combine that with a clear plan for your two exam attempts, and you’re setting yourself up not just to pass — but to excel.
