10 Tips to Crack MAH MBA CET 2026 in 60 Days

Chart out a MAH MBA CET preparation plan 

First of all, make a preparation plan which includes weekly and daily targets. MAH CET 2026 exam pattern and syllabus are similar to other MBA entrance exams, so you are not entering into an unfamiliar zone.

Most of you must have appeared for a national level MBA entrance exam already, such as CAT 2025, XAT 2026 or CMAT 2026, so you would essentially need some more practice of CET specific VA, QA, DI and LR.

Break the MBA CET prep-plan into phases

Divide 60 days into phases. In the first month of MAH MBA CET preparation, focus on covering important topics and tying loose ends from your previous experience of entrance exams. In the second month, focus on practicing mock tests and revision. You may further chart out a weekly plan for each of these month. For example, dedicate one week each to each section of MBA CET 2026. In the second month, divide your study hours into – MAH CET mock test and analysis and topic-wise revision.

Focus more on weak areas

You may not want to lose out on the same topics like in other entrance exams. With MAH CET MBA being conducted in March/April you have two extra months to work on your weak areas. If you are lacking in RC, read a variety of RC passages. If you are facing difficulty in Quant, dedicate more time to understanding important concepts. Practice important topics of MAH CET syllabus in a focussed manner.

MAH CET MBA is a moderately difficult exam, but because it is Reasoning heavy, you will need about 6 months to prepare for it. A lot of practice will be required to master each topic, which is why you should start preparation about 6 months in advance.
