The topics covered under this section can be classified as Analytical Puzzles, Coding & Decoding, Symbols & Notations, Analytical Puzzles (Linear arrangement, Circular Arrangement, Distributions and Comparisons), Blood Relations, Direction Sense, Input – Output, Decision Making, Deductions, Critical Reasoning (Statements and Assumptions, Statements and Conclusions, Inferences – Probably true/ false, Strong and Weak argument, Courses of Action, Cause and Effect and Assertions and Reasons) and other Miscellaneous topics (Word formation, Analogies, Odd Man Out, Ranking, etc).
Abstract Reasoning: The abstract reasoning section of CET has 25 questions. In these questions a set of figures are given, and the candidates need to find logic in these pictures and answer the question. Going by the type of questions given in CET, these questions can be classified broadly as Series, Analogies, Odd Man Out, and other miscellaneous models. Series questions are again of four types – (i) Find the next figure, (ii) Find the missing figure, (iii) Find Wrong figure and (iv) Interchange of figures. Among these four, Interchange of figures were not given in the last seven eight years.
The analogy questions, based on CET pattern questions, can be further classified as
- Four figure Analogy and
- Similar Pair.

Verbal ability & Reading Comprehension: The Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension section of the CET comprises 50 questions. The mode of testing on the CET is objective type questions. The CET consists of multiple-choice questions; each question has five options with no negative marking.
The Verbal Ability section of CET generally comprises two to four Reading Comprehension (RC) passages with five to seven questions per passage. The questions are based on the content of the passage and test candidates’ understanding of the passage and the vocabulary used in the context. In CET, the candidates’ ability to analyse information, assess and evaluate it, interpret the information considering the question asked, formulate a response and make the appropriate selection from the list of answer options are the key skills tested on the RC. Going by the last few years’ CET papers it is observed that the content for the passages can be from humanities, science, economics or also about some findings based on a study conducted.
The CET Verbal Ability also tests candidates’ vocabulary, the ability to understand ideas/viewpoints when presented in different ways, the ability to identify errors in sentences and select grammatically error-free, effective and concise sentences while also paying attention to the style and diction. In CET, these skills are tested across different question types such as sentence correction, sentence replacement, idea rephrase, cloze passages, idiom usages, error identification, questions based on word knowledge and words in context. The paragraph jumble questions test the logical reasoning ability as these questions ask the candidates to arrange the sentences of a jumbled paragraph in a convincing and coherent manner.
T.I.M.E. AMMCETS and SAMMCETS present the test taker with the opportunity to practice all the concepts and skills tested in the actual CET.
Quantitative Ability: In CET, Quantitative Aptitude is dominated by the questions from ‘Arithmetic’ and ‘Data Interpretation’ areas. It can be observed from the recent papers of CET that questions from Numbers, Time and Work, Time and Distance, Percentages, Simple Interest and Compound Interest, Averages, Partnerships, Mensuration, Probability, etc. were significantly present. Also, in CET, there were questions based on Number Series as well as Quantitative Comparison. For getting a good score in CET, one requires clarity of concepts and thorough practice of various models.
Scores of Online Examination will be obtained by adopting the following procedure:
- Number of questions answered correctly by a candidate in each objective test is considered for arriving at the Corrected Score.
- The Corrected Scores so obtained by a candidate are made equivalent to take care of the minor difference in difficulty level, if any, in each of the objective tests held in different sessions to arrive at the Equated Scores. (Equated Scores obtained by candidates on any test are equated to the base form by considering the distribution of scores of all the forms.)
- Test wise scores and scores on total is reported with decimal points up to two digits.
There will be no verification of marks or revaluation of answer sheets of the CET.
A separate admission notice will be issued for Online Registration & uploading of documents, Documents Verification and Application Form Confirmation at Facilitation Centers (FC) by candidates aspiring for admissions.
The score in the CET would be considered for admission during the current academic year only and would not be allowed to be carried forward to the next year. There is no GD/PI. Merit ranks are allotted based on the percentile obtained in CET.
The admission process through CET involves three to four rounds of CAP (Common Admission Process). In each round the candidates have to fill option forms on line based on their CET score. Seats are allotted based on merit (category wise).

- Study material: Every year, T.I.M.E. revises its study material and guides its students to take the right approach to succeed in the Exam. The Research and Development team at T.I.M.E which has top class faculty members with more than 25 years of experience prepares the study material. The study material consists of the following:
- Study Material Booklets: In these booklets the basic concepts of each topic of the subject are given with examples. These are followed by exercises.
- Handouts: The handouts are discussed in the classroom to impart the basic knowledge of the subject to the students.
- On-line & paper Based Test papers: The test papers are prepared with questions covering all the basic concepts. Tests are provided both in paper based and online mode. Paper based tests are conducted in the classroom, while the online tests can be taken at home. The tests are useful to the students for practice
- On-line mock test papers: The Mock test papers consist of questions from all the test areas. These tests are prepared to give the students the real feel of the exam.
- Classroom coaching: The classroom coaching has three modules – Basic Module, Individual Test Papers, workshops and full lengthfull-length Mock Test Papers.
- Basic Module: In this module, the basic concepts are taught to the students. The classes are designed such that the teaching of the concepts progresses from the absolute basic level to the level of MAH-CET.
- Individual Test Papers: Once the basic concepts are taught, individual test papers are conducted at the end of each chapter/topic. The tests are followed by the discussions on the paper in the classroom. These sessions help to reinforce the concepts that have already been discussed.
- Workshops: Workshops help students pay more attention to the recent models of questions and revision of basic concepts once again.
- Full Length Mock Papers: These tests are conducted on the completion of the entire syllabus. The test papers are followed by discussions with the faculty members. Various strategies and methods of successfully approaching the exam are discussed.
T.I.M.E. also provides Correspondence/online courses and Test Series with support to clarify doubts.
