The CET for engineering has been 'properly' introduced from 2005. The paper consists of 50 questions each in Physics and Chemistry( 1 mark each) and supposed to be finished in 90 minutes.
There is no negative marking, and it will mostly not be introduced in the future. I will deal with the thing, subject wise
CHEMISTRY
Between physics and chem, solve chemistry first. This is absolutely essential to get a good momentum going. If you start physics first and the first few problems turn out to be lengthy or tough, you will panic. So, go for chemistry first and finish it in 30 minutes. 25 minutes for the problems and 5 for thoery( memory testing questions) This will leave u with a comfortable 60 minutes for Physics.
PHYSICS
Dont solve physics in the numerical sequence. No need to start with Q1 then...Q2 and so on. Solve all the theory questions first. How to identify theory questions? Simple. In whichever question you dont see numbers is mostly a theory questions, testing your memory or concepts, not ur calculation speed. Go for those questions. Finish them in 15 minutes. The remaining questions you can easily solve in 30 minutes. Note, - if you begin with such questions before chemistry, u will take more time, because you will have those early paper nerves.
Use remaining 15 minutes to attempt the tough questions which u might have left for later.
MATHS
If you have worked enough for 12th and if you are capable of getting 80 and above in 12th maths, this should be a cakewalk for you. If you have seriously prepared for IIT, then this will be a joke.
Time is not a problem here. Accuracy is. To get started, solve the questions on Logic first. Solve the graphical LPP problems last(when u have enough time) Check your answers again*. You should have finished solving all problems 1 hour before the bell. Dont mark all the answers in the answersheet now. Mark only those questions about which you are 110% confident. Remaining u check again.
CHECKING ANSWERS
One thing you must know, you are supposed to mark the answers on the answer sheet with a PEN. So, once marked, you cannot change it. So there is no point in checking an answer which you have already marked, forget about it. Also, dont mark the answer in the answer sheet immediately after u have solved it. The repeated to and fro from question paper to answer sheet wastes time.
Better tactic is to take a pencil and solve the entire question paper by marking the answers on the question paper itself( by ticking) Start marking the proper answers on answer sheet 30 minutes before the final bell. THIS IS REGARDLESS OF WETHER U HAVE FINISHED UR PAPER. If you havent, first mark all the answers u have solved and then go for remaiing ones. DONT LEAVE MARKING TO THE END!
While marking the answer, you can again think about ur answer in the few moments between seeing the tick mark u made on the question book and making the mark on the answer paper.
Thats all I can remember for now. Practice Navneet 21 sets for CET. Solve 15 papers and try to score above 180/200 each time. If you get above 190 in actual CET, you are sure of UDCT chemical and you will easily get VJTI except maybe VJTI- electronics and VJTI computer science. SP you will get anything.
I am myself in top 100 in state and I have got nice software branch in VJTI.
