MHT-CET syllabus, textbooks and MCQ practice(reference) books

Syllabus for MHT-CET

The syllabus for MHT-CET is same as that for H.S.C. exam of the Maharashtra State Board(Source: CET brochures published every year by DMER). No question that is beyond the scope of the syllabus is asked in MHT-CET exam. H.S.C. exam refers only to Std.XII (12th) and not both std. XI and std XII.

Its is a common misconception that MCQs from CBSE/NCERT syllabus are also asked in MHT-CET. However, this is not true.

Text-books for MHT-CET

Textbooks, in accordance with the syllabus prescribed by the Board are published by private publications. Only few of the titles have been sanctioned by the Board. For any question appearing in the MHT-CET exam, the answer, as given in these sanctioned textbooks is considered as the final answer. Sanctioned textbooks and other textbooks which have not been sanctioned by the Board may give different information, which may occasionally contradict each other. Under such circumstances, the answer as given in the sanctioned textbooks is considered as the correct one(even if its actually wrong). If two or more textbooks, which are sanctioned by the Board, contain inconsistent information about a particular specific topic, the Board either releases a corrigendum(correction). If there is no such corrigendum, the question is usually not asked in MHT-CET exam. If such question is asked in MHT-CET, the Competent Authority(of DMER) omits the question from the evaluation and all students are offered either 1 mark or no mark for that question, irrespective of the answer they marked in the exam.

Sanctioned textbooks

Sanctioned textbooks can be differentiated from non-sanctioned textbooks by looking at their 1st page, under the front-cover of the book. A sanctioned textbooks has lines similar to below ones describing the textbook’s sanction:

This textbook has been sanctioned by the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, Pune-411 010.

Sanction no: R.M./P.P.E./209/HSC/XII-2007/B-8/Date: 8-1-2007

The above sanction no. used as an example has been taken from ‘A textbook of Biology’ by Nirmitee Publications.

For the subject of Biology, 9 textbooks have been sanctioned. A list of all those textbooks along with other information such as publisher, author and price has been compiled and available for immediate download in the downloads section(see under miscellaneous sub-heading). There are several inconsistencies in the early editions and re-prints of the sanctioned textbooks. The Board has published a corrigendum(Jan 2008) for the same and it is available for immediate download in the downloads section.

Reference and MCQ practice books

Every professor has a different opinion about various books available. My personal recommendations(for Biology) are Himalaya Publications’s MCQ practice book for high-quality MCQs and Target Biology for exhaustive and syllabus-relevant synopsis.

  10. Rohan Shenoy says:

    Hi Akhilesh,
    I can’t guide you for PCB as I deal exclusively ine bio.
    however, you can check out the threads in out forum for recommended PCM study material for MHT-CET. That is posted by some students of your senior batch.

  11. Rohan Shenoy says:

    Well, there is no single perfect book for mht-cet, atleast for bio. You must refer the 9 sanctioned textbooks for biology and use atleast target and himalaya for mcq solving practio for mht-cet bio.

  12. Rohan Shenoy says:

    @Azar, I am not aware of chem book, sorry. you can ask ur teachers though.

  13. Rohan Shenoy says:

    Hi Shonam,
    You can reply on NCERT books for most chapters. For other ones, you may want to prepare from maharashtra’s textbooks, esp for bio in mhtcet.

  14. Rohan Shenoy says:

    Hi Surabhi,
    Please register on our forum and search the threads. There is one such thread for PCM mht-cet students created by the senior batch students. Please go through it.

  15. Rohan Shenoy says:

    Thanks Pratik.

  16. Rohan Shenoy says:

  26. ronak says:

    i am a cbse student will my ncert books are according to the syllabus required for mht-cet

  27. Rohan Shenoy says:

    Hi Pooja,
    You haven’t mentioned if you are appearing for MHT-CET 2009 or MHT-CET 2010. I assume this is for MHT-CET 2010.
    It is preferable that you read through all the 9 sanctioned textbooks for mht-cet biology. If not all the 9, then atleast 5 or 6. But only 1 textbook is very insufficient.
    Also, there was a news last year that the Board will be publishing its single textbooks and out-do the 9 books by private publishers. So please check if the board’s textbook is available when you will be buying the books.

  28. Bhavesh says:

    Will the questions from chapters lyk “POLYMERS”, “BIOMOLECULE” and other RATTA Stuff will be from sanctioned books only or they may go even beyond….e.g NCERT.??????

    GUIDE Early PLZ>>>>!

  29. Rohan Shenoy says:

    Hi Bhavesh,
    I don’t know about chemistry stuff, but they will not go beyond the our Maharashtra Board’s sanctioned textbook for any subjects be it phy, chem, bio or even maths.
    And yes, they ask the “ratta” stuff too ;)
