Our latest offering ‘MHT-CET : 20 Question Paper Set’ is a meticulously designed book to assess
the threshold of knowledge imbibed by students over a period of two years in junior college.
The book charts out a compilation of Practice Question Papers aimed at students appearing for the
MHT-CET examination. Every question paper in this book has been created in line with the
nt
examination pattern and touches upon all the conceptual nodes of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics
and Biology. The questions throughout this book are specifically curated by our expert authors with
an astute attention to detail. The core objective of this book is to gauge the student’s preparedness to
te
appear for a competitive level examination.
They say, ‘with the right tools, even ordinary men achieve extraordinary results’. We aspire this
on
book to be the perfect tool that’d help students to take off their career in the most extraordinary way
possible.
The journey to create a complete book is strewn with triumphs, failures and near misses. If you think
we’ve nearly missed something or want to applaud us for our triumphs, we’d love to hear from you.
