Questions

Which syllabus does this Mathematics-II course follow?

It follows the common UP state university BCA syllabus (University of Lucknow pattern) for BCA Semester 2. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university's syllabus and unit order.

Why is discrete mathematics taught in BCA?

Logic, counting and graphs are the base of programming, databases, networks and algorithms.

Is this useful for MCA entrance?

Yes. NIMCET and similar exams ask sets, logic, combinatorics and probability questions at this level.
