Attitude.... was the key to tackle today's CET BBA. A positive stance and a mindset that the BBA journey was 'the path' then, today's entrance just realized that purpose.
The CET BBA, conducted by Pune University, is a common platform for undergraduate management entrances for various colleges across Pune, whether pursuing a BBA or a BCA or a BBM (IB).
A forerunner in all management entrance exams Career Forum has always been with the aspirant all the way. The PreBBACET's were designed to ensure that a student was well geared to undertake the final Entrance and come up a winner all the way.
Right from the word 'GO' every question in this paper was a 'SITTER'. Fresh in the minds of the students was the recently concluded std. XII exams which made answering today's Entrance 'a walk to remember...'
The paper was divided into four sections with each section having 25 questions each.
A 100 marks paper with 100 questions so that accounts for 1 mark per question.
A step by step analysis of each section
Numerical Ability Section
With the usual division of sections the first one was a test of Numbers. Fundamentals and Concepts and Techniques to make a lengthy sum small, making this section the most alive of them all! One could save on time in this section as a major chunk of questions in this section were easy and required less time for reaction.
An overall attempt of 18-20 questions was an ideal attempt for this section.

Analytical and Logical Reasoning Section
Next in line was the Logical Reasoning section. If your strength lies in this section then you could not have asked for a better line of reasoning. A brainstorm of 25 questions kept the grey cells tingling even after you were through with them! These questions were actually good starters in anticipation for the invigorating round which was yet to be combated. All the question types of ‘Arrangement, Coding-Decoding DI and DS along with Set Theory and Series’ were covered so it was an assortment, much appreciated. Another very significant question type collective to Logical Reasoning were the questions on Visual Reasoning.
An overall attempt of 18-20 questions was an ideal attempt for this section.
