PERA CET study guide
PERA CET · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
PERA CET is a common entrance test associated with PERA (the Pune Engineering and Research Academy / Progressive Education Society's Modern College of Engineering) and is used for admission to participating postgraduate management programmes in Maharashtra. It is aimed at graduates who want an MBA or similar management degree but prefer a state-level, institute-administered test to a national exam, or who want a second route alongside CAT, CMAT or MAH CET. The PERA CET study guide has 4 sections and about 1,054 words.
01Quantitative Aptitude / Mathematics
PERA CET's Quantitative Aptitude / Mathematics section checks numerical fluency under time pressure: arithmetic (percentage, ratio, average, profit-loss, interest, time-work, speed-distance), elementary algebra and geometry, and data interpretation from tables or text. Questions are usually single-correct and calculation-light if you choose the right base.
292 words, about 1 min02Logical Reasoning and Analytical Ability
PERA CET Logical Reasoning and Analytical Ability tests structured thinking rather than memorised facts: syllogisms, seating and ranking arrangements, blood relations, coding-decoding, series, puzzles, and data sufficiency. Syllogism: draw minimal Venn diagrams.
260 words, about 1 min03English Language and Verbal Ability
PERA CET English Language and Verbal Ability checks standard written English: grammar and usage, sentence correction, fillers, synonyms/antonyms, idioms, para jumbles, and reading comprehension. Subject-verb agreement: the verb agrees with the grammatical subject, not with a phrase between subject and verb: 'The manager, along with his assistants, was present.' Tense sequence: use past perfect for the earlier of two past actions; keep conditional structures consistent ('If he had studied, he would have passed').
267 words, about 1 min04General Awareness / General Knowledge
PERA CET General Awareness / General Knowledge samples static GK and current affairs: Indian polity, economy and banking, geography, science, awards, sports, and important days. Breadth matters more than deep specialisation.
