MAH BBA CET 2026 Preparation Tips

Here are some useful MAH BBA CET preparation tips which students can use to prepare for the exam:

  • Covering the MAH BBA CET syllabus: A crucial part of MAH CET BBA preparation is knowing the syllabus. Students must be well-versed in the syllabus and must know the important topics to cover. The MAH BBA CET question paper has four sections, i.e. English, Reasoning, GK and Computer Basics. Candidates must know the important sub-topics to prepare well for each section.

English section tests the candidate’s hold over the language which includes important topics such as Grammar, Reading Comprehension, Synonyms and Antonyms, Idioms, Phrases, etc.

The Reasoning section tests the candidates' ability to quickly and logically think about a situation. The section covers logical situations and questions based on the facts given in the passage. It assesses the problem-solving capacity of the candidates. 

General Knowledge and Awareness section includes topics such as Current Affairs, National and International Affairs, Trade and Commerce, Culture, Scientific Inventions and Discoveries, Sports, History, etc. 

Computer Basics section, as the name suggests, assesses the knowledge of the candidates of computers. The section includes topics such as CPU, Input and Output Devices, Computer Memory, Backup Devices, Memory Organization, System Software and Application Software, Basics of the Internet, etc. 

  • Time Management and Accuracy: Time management is important for the MAH BBA CET exam. Speed and accuracy are the two key players in the exam preparation. Getting an answer right is as important as completing the question paper within the time limit. Although there is no sectional time limit in the MAH BBA CET exam, students have to complete the exam within 90 minutes. Therefore, candidates should devote time to each question. Solving and practicing previous years’ question papers and MAH BBA CET mock tests can help the aspirants improve their speed and accuracy. They would also gain insights into the type of questions, difficulty levels, tricks and shortcuts for solving a particular type of question, marking scheme, etc.
  • Work on Weaknesses and Capitalize on Strengths: Students should focus on working on their strengths and weaknesses during their MAH BBA CET exam preparation. Identify the strengths and try to capitalize on them and devote enough time to improve on weaknesses. Candidates can make short notes during their preparation and come back to them during the revision phase.
  • Revision and MAH BBA CET mock tests: It is important to practice as much as one can. Practising daily will definitely help one score well. Take an ample number of mock tests and analyze the performance after each to understand which topic or section needs more time to prepare. Toppers recommend taking at least 10-12 mock tests for preparation.
