MAH B.Ed CET

A simple way to understand the difference between these exams are :

MAH B.Ed CET is the common entrance test for general B.Ed courses in Maharashtra. You can take it if you want admission in regular B.Ed programs, usually available in Marathi, Hindi, or English.

MAH B.Ed (General & Special) CET is for candidates interested in both general education and special education (teaching kids with disabilities). So, if you want to work in special needs schools or inclusive education, this is the exam to consider.

B.Ed ELCT CET is an additional test for those who want to study B.Ed in English medium colleges. If you prefer English as your teaching language, you have to take this along with the general MAH B.Ed CET

There is nothing like the best; you can understand the value of each exam according to you.

The MAH B.Ed CET 2025 online application portal opened on December?28?2024, and the deadline was extended to February 28 2025, as confirmed by the State CET Cell Following the closing date, a form correction window was provided from March 3 to March 5 2025, allowing candidates to update critical fields such as name, date of birth, gender, photograph and signature—after which no edits were permitted The application fees were INR 800 for open category (including OMS and J&K migrants) and INR 600 for eligible reserved category candidates from Maharashtra, payable online via credit/debit cards or net banking Candidates were required to upload a scanned color photograph (20–50 KB) and signature (10–20?KB) along with relevant academic and identity documents during the application process.

The MAH B.Ed CET percentile required for admission into the B.Ed programme of the University of Mumbai is usually above 75-80, depending on yearly competition and availability of seats.

So with a 70 percentile, you stand on the borderline. Being a prestigious university, it generally sets its cutoffs on the higher end, keeping in mind the general category students. For those in reserved categories, the cutoffs could be slightly lower. There is first a CET which needs to be cleared, after which a centralized counseling process is held in which the score is matched against the cut-off criteria. While 70 would possibly land a seat in some of the affiliated colleges with lesser demand, a top institute under Mumbai University might be beyond reach unless.
