It’s okay to feel so but don’t think that you haven’t done enough until you appear for the exam. Pre exam nervousness is highly capable of spoiling performance.

Last minute scramble: If you have missed any MAH CET topic, forget about it now. This is not the time to study a new topic and mess up your mind. Use the last few days of time on simply revising what you’ve studied so far. It is very unlikely that you would have not prepared important topics already.

Reaching MAH CET exam centre late: Candidates are supposed to report to the test centre, 2 hours before the exam. Entry cut off time is 30 minutes before the shift starting time. Reach your examination centre on time for smooth identification process.

Not carrying requisite documents: Carry 2 copies of the MAH CET admit card 2026 and a photo ID card issued by Government of India.

Bad time management: MAH MBA CET is a 180-minutes exam in which you will need to use every minute judiciously. Many candidates face challenge in the exam as they don’t have a time management plan.
