As you can see from the above tables, MAH CET MBA features a mix of the usual MBA test contents. However, unlike other entrance tests, questions from different sections are usually jumbled up throughout the MAH CET MBA paper. Below is the analysis of all sections for your MBA CET preparation:

Studying a good Grammar book like Wren & Martin’s High School Grammar and solving the questions therein can help you a lot.

  The questions asked are based on elementary mathematics, however, you can solve the practice questions. Do memorise tables, squares and cubes to save time in the test. Mental calculations can help you a lot here. Use approximations, decimal-fractions and percentage techniques to solve quant questions. DI forms the major part of this section. So, do practice 3-4 DI sets daily.
• Logical & Abstract Reasoning: This section has the highest weightage in MAH CET MBA exam. Reasoning questions are usually based on: Series, Input & Output, Directions, Linear and Circular Arrangements, Symbol based Series Completion, Directions, Conditional Coding, Selection Criteria, Venn Diagrams, Deductions and Coding-Decoding.
  As there are no standard techniques to solve these questions, the only way to ace this area is to practice 15-25 questions daily. Visual reasoning questions are a new addition to this section. It is advised to solve previous year papers and mock tests to get hold of this most important section.
