Fifteen days of mocks and analysis, aimed squarely at MHT-CET
It is not more about your knowledge.
01 · The journey Came for CET, because nothing else covered it
Ramchandra sat BITSAT, JEE Main, JEE Advanced and MHT-CET after finishing class 12 with 74% in his HSC. He says he joined mainly for MHT-CET, because he could not find relevant content for that paper anywhere else. His first CET mock, taken from a previous-year question book, came in at 86%, and that was enough to tell him he needed to take specific measures.
02 · The turning point Strong at maths, short on speed
He rates himself as pretty good at maths — 98.5 percentile in the CET maths section and 91 in board mathematics. His diagnosis of the gap is not knowledge but pace: boards and CET run in parallel on content, and the difference is the clock. That is where he says the lectures helped him in the maths section.
03 · What worked Fifteen to twenty days, on repeat
For physics and chemistry he leaned on the short notes rather than the full course, and gave the CET run roughly fifteen to twenty days. His method reduces to one loop he states twice: give a mock, analyse it, give another mock, analyse that. He found Phodu Club through Instagram, and used the college predictor, though not the prep tracker — he already had a chart of his own.
Maths lectures
Aimed at the speed problem he names, not at content he already knew.

My name is Ramchandra and I'm from Santa Cruz Mumbai and
Oh, okay.
I have been doing 11 and 12. I just completed my 12th with 74% HSC and I give a bit sad JEE JEE Mains Advance MHTCET and tomorrow and day after tomorrow is my I am I am interview.
Oh, that's great. That's great. So, all the best for the interview and like could you tell me like more about your 11th and 12th journey and like what challenges you were facing before you joined the
Before joining if I mainly joined for MHTCET because I was not able to see any relevant content regarding CET because the first mock I gave for CET was I scored really 86% in my PYQ question book. So, I thought I should take some measures even though I was great in maths. Uh I'm not sure that I'm really good but I am say I I'm pretty good in maths so because in CET also I got 98.5 and in boards also I got 91 in
So, you got 98.5 overall or 98.5 maths?
Maths in maths.
Okay. Okay.
And 91 in mathematics in boards. So, I know CET and boards are in parallel but difference is in in time. You have to solve them quickly and understand the concept. So, on that note I was lagging so the lectures really helped me out in mathematics section. And in physics chemistry I say the short notes mainly and the and the main course was mine that I have studied for 15 to 20 days for CET. So, I have to I only mainly do is uh give mock, analyze them, give mock, analyze them. That was my main idea.
So, the short notes were the you know the like short notes given by Phodu Club.
Yeah.
Oh, okay. Great. Uh so, like from where did you get to know about Phodu Club? Were you doing you know was that BITSAT wala course? Okay. From Instagram. So, did you find the content like the test series DPPs relevant or uh are there any improvements which you know we should make?
Hm in mocks if I say uh answer key I would say sometimes answer key did not match. Yeah, so
That is totally possible.
Questions were relevant I would say.
Yeah. That's great. That's great. Uh and like you know did you use the Prep Prep Tracker and the college predictor tool?
Uh college predictor I used. Uh Prep Tracker uh I did not use because I already have a chart made by myself so I did not use that much.
Great. So, I mean uh you used the college predictor. How how did you feel? Uh is it relevant or any changes which you know we should make or
Yeah, it's pretty relevant I would say.
Oh, that's great. So, like uh if you know if you were to suggest a junior to use Phodu Club, I mean would you do it?
First I would say uh understand the paper. It is not more about your knowledge. It more is about your how fast you can think about it. About these questions. So, I would mainly suggest to uh practice question but under a time. Like if you're solving a 50 50 questions of mathematics you have to be hook or by crook you have to complete in 1 hour.
That's yeah. True. That is true. That is true. So, yeah. Thank you Ram for your time.
