If I am preparing for JEE exam, do I need to prepare separately for MHCET?

The answer in general is yes and no. If you have studied for JEE rigorously and have clarity of concepts then you don't have to study anything separately. But surely you need to prepare for MHCET as the pattern is different and the time constraint is more of a concern here. Mainly revise everything which you have studied till now. Generally, memorize all the formulas for general cases as the exam has a lot of time constraint. Once check the syllabus and make sure you didn't leave any important topic. Then mainly focus on solving practice tests. There are many books available in the market providing mock tests on MHCET. But be a bit careful and buy from trusted publications. The other important thing is to give this time under real exam conditions i.e. under a time constraint. Another important thing students neglect is analyzing the tests you solved. Otherwise, there is no use of giving the mock tests. Analyse your mistakes, your strong areas, your weak areas, where are you wasting time and work on that. Also, make sure you read from the HSC textbooks the theory which may not be in JEE syllabus. All the best!

Maharashtra Common Entrance Test will soon be introduced with few significant changes. DTE Maharashtra, the conducting body of MHT CET, is working on upgrading the syllabus of the examination. Apart from this, there have been speculations that the level of CET will be brought at par with the level of national entrance examinations like JEE and NEET. The decision is assumed to be a fruitful one because now the students will follow only one syllabus but will be automatically preparing for CET, JEE, and NEET. The state-level common entrance exam is conducted for enrollment of students in the fields of technology. Earlier the exam pattern of MHT CET was nowhere close to JEE and other national competitive exams. The syllabus of the exam was predominantly based on the HSC syllabus of Maharashtra State Board which was very different from that of the national level examinations. Hence, the students of Maharashtra had to do separate preparation for each competitive examination. This eventually led to increase in the level of anxiety and pressure. The revamped syllabus would be applicable from the academic session 2018-19. Along with it, the exam pattern might also be changed. The enhanced level of the exam is also expected to raise the standard of questions asked in the exam. The MHT CET exam consists of three questions papers of 100 marks each and the prescribed duration of the exam.The questions asked from the state board syllabus, which is very different from NCERT boundaries. The changes in the pattern are yet to be announced. However, it is expected that the nature of the questions will change to select the candidates worth of qualifying a national level examination. The introduced changes are expected to favor the students in all the aspects. It might help the candidates to prepare efficiently for MHT CET and other competitive exams side-by-side Hence, both preparation shall go simultaneously with slight changes in paper pattern rest shall be similar.
