1 — What is the MAH B Ed CET?
The MAH B Ed CET is the state-level Common Entrance Test used for admission to B.Ed (General & Special) programmes in Maharashtra. The exam and its counseling are run through the State Common Entrance Test Cell (CET Cell), Maharashtra — the official portal and updates are posted there.
2 — Who can apply (eligibility)?
In short: candidates with a recognized bachelor’s or master’s degree in any stream (Arts, Science, Commerce, Engineering, Medicine, etc.) are typically eligible, provided they meet the minimum percentage requirement (often 50% for open category; 45% for certain reserved categories). Final-year students may be allowed to apply provisionally but must show proof of passing before admission. Exact category-wise minimums and special rules are given in the official instructions each year, so always cross-check the CET Cell’s published procedure.
3 — Exam pattern & syllabus — what to expect
A reliable summary of the exam layout: the MAH B.Ed CET is an online (computer-based) test with around 100 objective questions covering three primary areas — General Knowledge, Mental Ability, and Teaching Aptitude — usually to be completed within about 90 minutes. There is no negative marking in the standard format that has been used in recent years. For section-wise topics and the official marking scheme, refer to the CET Cell syllabus page and recent exam notices.
What to focus on:
- Mental Ability: reasoning, basic data interpretation, number series, non-verbal reasoning.
- General Knowledge: current affairs (last 12 months), static GK (India/Maharashtra), education-related news.
- Teaching Aptitude: basic pedagogy, classroom scenarios, principles of learning, ethics in teaching.
4 — Important dates and application basics (how it works)
The CET Cell releases a schedule (application window, exam dates, result date, and CAP/counseling timeline). For example, in the B.Ed CET sessions were scheduled in March and the CAP (admission) registration followed in June–July; exact dates vary year to year and are in the official schedule PDF. Always use the CET Cell site for final dates and the step-by-step application procedure.
Typical steps you’ll follow:
- Register on the CET portal → get provisional registration number.
- Fill application (personal details, education, upload documents).
- Pay fees and submit.
- Download admit card when released.
- Appear for CET on scheduled date.
- Check result / percentile / rank and then apply for CAP (Centralized Admission Process) counseling to convert rank into a college seat.
5 — A 10-week study plan
This plan assumes you have 10 weeks and want efficient, high-impact prep.
Weeks 1–2 — Baseline & core concepts
- Take one full-length diagnostic mock; note section-wise weak spots.
- Solidify basics in Mental Ability (arithmetics shortcuts, logical reasoning patterns).
Weeks 3–5 — Build speed
- Daily 45–60 minutes: GK (read one good current-affairs summary and mark facts).
- 3× weekly: practice 20–30 reasoning questions timed.
- Start short daily Teaching Aptitude practice (case-based questions).
Weeks 6–8 — Mock-heavy phase
- 2 full mocks per week under timed conditions.
- After each mock: error log — categorize mistakes (careless, concept, time-pressure).
- Focus revision on the top 20 topics from your error log.
Weeks 9–10 — Revision & strategy
- High-frequency short mocks (one per 2–3 days).
- Light GK revision: browse a monthly current affairs capsule.
- Rest properly two days before the exam — stay calm, sleep well.
6 — Test-day checklist & scoring strategy
- Carry printed admit card, valid photo ID, extra mask (if required), and a small bottle of water.
- Reach the center 45–60 minutes before time. Center rules are strict — late entry might be barred.
- Strategy: attempt easier sections first (if platform allows navigation), keep 10–15 minutes buffer for review. Time-per-question target ≈ 54 seconds (90 minutes / 100 questions).
- If unsure between two options, skip and return later — there’s usually no negative marking, so attempt all if confident.
