CET » [ Common Entrance Test ] |

|
The CET procedure |
| |
|
| |
The details of the CET (including the date of the
exam) are advertised in all leading newspapers by DTE. The CET application
forms are generally available in the month of March. You can appear for the
exam by filling up the application form. In order to be eligible for the CET,
you should be a graduate with a minimum of 50% marks in the qualifying (final)
examination of the bachelor's degree. If you are studying in the final year of
graduation, you may also apply provided you obtain 50% in the final exam of
graduation. For students belonging to the Reserved Category, the minimum
percentage is 45 in the qualifying exam.
The test will be held on one day for all the CET centres across Maharashtra. Approximately a month after the written
test, the candidates who obtain the minimum cut off score are shortlisted for
the Group Discussion and Interview. For the past few years,
the minimum cut off score has been 70 out of 200. You have to appear for only
one Group Discussion and Interview under the centralised system to be eligible
for admission to any of the institutes. Your GD and Interview scores are added
to your written test scores. Besides these scores, some points are also
allocated for your academic achievements and work experience. Students who
qualify after the GD and interview are short-listed for admission.
| The break- up of the total score is as
follows: |

TOTAL |

Now, based on your merit ranking, you are offered a choice of institutes. For
example, a candidate with rank 1 will be given the first preference for
admission. Naturally, he will get a wider variety of choices of institutes than
say, a candidate with rank 50. This system makes it very important for MBA
aspirants to work hard to obtain the highest possible merit rank, in order to
get admission to the institute of their choice. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
More about the CET Syllabus |
| |
|
| |
The CET is a 2½ hour objective test with multiple
choice answers. The total marks for the written test is 200. For the past three
years, the questions have not been classified in the section-based format,
i.e., there are no separate sections for each question type. The questions are
an assorted variety, where the question types are distributed across the
question paper.
Naturally, as there are no sections, there is also no minimum time allocated
for any section. The CET of 1996, 1997 and 1998 had no negative marks for wrong
answers. However, it is very important that you verify whether there is any
negative marking before you appear for the test. There are three question types
in the CET:
|
|
Math |
| |
|
|
|
This question type covers math topics like numbers,
ages, simple interest and compound interest, percentage, profit and loss,
ratios, and the like. This question type also includes data interpretation,
which deals with analyzing information given in the form of tables, graphs and
charts. |
|
|
|
|
|
English |
|
|
|
| |
English includes questions based on grammar like
sentence correction, error spotting, idioms and phrases, etc. other forms of
English questions include paragraph construction, spellings, analogies, fill in
the blank, jumbled sentences and the like. It also includes reading
comprehension. |
| |
|
|
|
Logic |
| |
|
| |
This question type covers a wide variety of
analytical questions such as syllogisms, logical data interpretation, logical
puzzles, finding the missing number, relationship,
visuals, and the like. In the CET, logic is given the most weightage;
as nearly 50% of the questions are based on logic. There are questions on
visual reasoning, that is, questions based on figures and pictures. The CET
covers approximately 35-40 questions purely on visual reasoning. Of all the
three sections, undoubtedly visual reasoning questions are the most difficult
and largest in number of questions in the CET. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
HOW TO GO ABOUT IT |
| |
|
| |
Structure: CET is not a section-based paper.
Furthermore for the last three years' CET did not have any negative marking. In
the CET, there is no timing for any section as the CET does not have sections. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
Question Types |
| |
|
|
|
CET has both Verbal and Non verbal logic. Logic
comprises nearly 50% of the paper. Amongst these, visual logic is one of the
trickiest areas.
Hence, a student who has prepared for the CAT thoroughly may not necessarily be
fully prepared for the CET, due to the predominance of the logic questions. A
serious CET student must, therefore make sure that he/she has completely
prepared in all areas of the exam, especially in logic. |
|
|
|
|
|
When is the CET held? |
|
|
|
| |
For the last three years, the CET has been held on
the 4th Sunday of May. Though you may be reasonably sure that the exam will be
held in May, the exam date cannot be predicted. |
| |
|
|
|
How to prepare for the CET |
| |
|
| |
When you appear for any kind of competitive
examination, you must keep in mind that you have to be ahead of the competition
to reach your desired goal. Hence you need to be completely prepared for the
CET. After all, no soldier goes to the battlefield to fight without equipping
himself with weapons!
The CET is a competitive exam where students of different streams compete to
get into a good management institute. In such a scenario, the well prepared
students are the ones who emerge as winners.
CET accords very low weightage to work experience and academic performance. The
marks for past academic record are distributed on the basis of your academic
performance in
10th and
10+2nd year of undergraduate study. Hence, for instance, if you have
secured more than 60 but less than 74 % in SSLC or any other equivalent board
of examination, you get 1 point. If you have secured above 75%, you get 2
points. The same rule applies for HSC or any other equivalent examination
board.
To gain points for work experience, you need to have a minimum of 1-year
postgraduate work experience in a company listed on any stock exchange of
India. If you have more than 3 years' work experience in a company listed on
any stock exchange of India, you get 2 points. |
