MHT-CET 2021 PCM: My Experience and Preparation Tips

As a Google SEO expert, I provide this comprehensive guide for those preparing for the MHT-CET 2021 PCM exam, drawing from the experience of a fellow test-taker. The MHT-CET is a critical entrance exam in Maharashtra, India, for engineering and technology programs. This article covers the exam format, preparation strategies, and insights into scoring well.

Understanding the MHT-CET 2021

The MHT-CET is a computer-based test conducted in a multiple-choice format, covering Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM). The exam is designed to assess students' understanding and application of concepts within these subjects. In 2021, the exam was updated to include more challenging questions and a broader syllabus.

My Personal Experience

I initially planned to take the JEE exams, but due to a family emergency, I had to change my plans and prepare for the MHT-CET 2021. Despite the time constraints and the emotional stress, I managed to score 176 out of 200, achieving a 99.9269425 percentile rank. Here are some insights into my preparation and exam day experience:

Preparation and Study Tactics

Mathematics: I solved my mathematics textbook about 5-6 times, ensuring a deep understanding of all concepts. Chemistry: I studied my chemistry book cover to cover, making sure to cover every detail. Physics: While I covered most of the concepts, I didn't delve as deeply into physics as I did with the other subjects.

The last month before the exam was particularly challenging due to a family loss, which affected my study routine and focus. This is a reminder to manage stress effectively and plan your studies around personal obligations.

Exam Day Experience

On the day of the exam (24th September, afternoon shift), I managed to solve about 42-43 questions, but I ran out of time for the remaining ones. For chemistry, I managed to solve around 40 questions, and for physics, I solved about 38-40 questions. According to the answer key, my score was 128. Although the exam was moderate in difficulty as predicted, I was aiming for a 97th percentile to secure admission to Cummins Pune CS. Unfortunately, I scored 96.178, which was not as high as I hoped, but I am also pursuing options like PCCOE IT.

Getting the Merit List

The provisional merit list for MHT-CET 2021 will be released on November 24. Candidates will need to submit their date of birth and application ID to access the list. The merit list categorizes students based on their performances, and the final list will be released after addressing any grievances from candidates.
