Questions

Which syllabus does this Mathematics-I course follow?

It follows the common UP state university BCA syllabus (University of Lucknow pattern) for BCA Semester 1. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university's syllabus and unit order.

I did not take mathematics in Class 12. Can I pass?

Yes. The centre runs bridge classes on algebra and basic calculus before each unit.

Is the exam mostly numerical?

Yes. Most questions are problems on sets, matrices, limits, derivatives and integrals, with a few definitions.
