Exams that matter
- MHT-CET for engineering, pharmacy and agriculture in Maharashtra.
- NEET-UG for medical, dental and AYUSH courses.
- JEE Main for NITs and IIITs.
- CUET-UG for central universities.
- Diploma admissions after Class 10 through DTE Maharashtra.
Students who aim for both MHT-CET and JEE Main should know that the syllabus and difficulty differ. A clear plan in Class 11 saves a lot of stress later.
