2. Make a Focused Plan
If you have a good command over English, you don't need to worry. But in case reading comprehension is not your strong area, then the best approach to prepare for this section of MAH CET MBA is to focus on the part which dominates the section i.e. non-RC questions. You can work on English grammar and vocabulary even in a short span of time. Make these two books - Wren & Martin and Word Power Made Easy your best friend. Memorise and revise regularly. There will be not many RC passages in MAH CET unlike CAT, so you can skip the questions, if you find them extremely difficult to attempt.
3. Practice MAH CET Sample Questions
There is no formula to crack Reading Comprehension (RC) passages. It all depends on your language comprehension ability. So, the best way to prepare for RC is reading, reading and reading more. Apart from that, you need to practice sample questions, past years questions and mock test exercises. The more RC passages you practice, the better you will get at speed-reading. You will also be exposed to a variety of RC passages asked in MBA CET exam. Moreover, you will be able to develop the skill of weeding out unnecessary information and focus on facts required to answer questions correctly. Practice at least 30 mock tests.

4. Handle RC Passages with Care
One key tip for cracking RC passages of MBA CET is to read the questions first and then the passage. This way, while reading the passage, you’ll be able to note the relevant points. However, keep in mind the fact that reverse reading will be helpful in fact-based passages but not so much in inference based passages.
5. Strengthen Vocabulary
Strengthening English vocabulary is easy. You can do it during your study hours or in free time. Always keep a dictionary with you. Whenever you come across a new word, check its meaning and usage. However, just knowing word meaning will not be enough. You need to also understand its usage. In English language, many words are used in differently in different context which changes its meaning. It is very likely that you'll come across word meaning questions in MAH MBA CET which may confuse you.
6. When to Solve VARC Section
If English is your strong area, then you must solve questions from this section first. In MAH CET MBA, there is no sectional time limit and you can choose the order of solving the question paper. So, complete your strong areas first. In all, the VARC questions of MAH CET 2025 should not take more than 30 minutes as the section is usually of easy to moderate difficulty. The RC passages too are short and straightforward.
But, if English is not your strong area, keep it for the last. Complete the rest of the MAH MBA CET questions and then start with VARC. Aim to solve 30-40 questions accurately and you should be sorted.

7. Don’t Get Stuck on Any Question
Like any other MBA entrance exam, MAH CET too is a speed based test, thus spending too much time on a particular question is not a good idea. If you are not sure of the answer, skip that question and move ahead. Focus on questions that you can solve accurately. Even though, there is no negative marking in MBA CET, you should not waste time on a question you can’t solve.
8. Choose the Right Questions to Solve
Choice of the questions in the MAH MBA CET has a direct bearing on your score. If your English is good, you can solve any question but if it is not, then you need to choose the right questions. Ignore Parajumbles, as they may confuse you. Instead, attempt fill in the blanks, cloze test and sentence correction questions. In Reading Comprehension too, solve word meaning and vocabulary questions. This approach will help you score 30.
9. Rule of Elimination
Apply the rule of elimination in fill in the blanks, cloze test, spot the error, etc. The VARC section of MAH CET MBA exam can be handled well with elimination rule by getting five options down to 50-50 choice. Again, trust your instinct for choosing between the two options.

10. Reading is a Necessity
To perform well in VARC, reading is of utmost importance. No matter how many tricks and tips you learn, the only way you can solve questions correctly is by understanding them. Read newspaper, novels, books and magazines regularly. Devote one hour each day to reading. Reading most of the things on a computer or laptop screen as MAH MBA CET is conducted online.
