CET Subjects

State CETs test four core subjects — Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology — depending on whether you take the engineering (PCM) or medical/pharmacy (PCB) stream. Each subject page lays out the chapter list (broadly the Class 11-12 NCERT / state-board syllabus) and the highest-yield topics. The exact syllabus and weightage vary by exam, so confirm them on your state CET's official portal.

Frequently asked questions

Which subjects do state CETs test?

Engineering streams (e.g. MHT-CET PCM, COMEDK, AP/TG EAPCET E-stream) test Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Medical / pharmacy / agriculture streams (e.g. MHT-CET PCB, KEAM Pharmacy, EAPCET AM-stream) test Physics, Chemistry and Biology. KCET tests all four. Always check your target exam's stream structure.

Is the CET syllabus the same as NCERT?

Most state CETs base their syllabus broadly on the Class 11 and 12 syllabus of that state's board, which closely follows NCERT for the sciences and mathematics. Some exams weight Class 12 more heavily (for example MHT-CET gives about 80% weight to the Class 12 syllabus). Confirm the exact prescribed syllabus and weightage in the official notification.
