Questions
Which syllabus is followed?
The AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) MCA syllabus of Problem Solving using C (Semester 1). If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus and units.
Is lab practice included?
Yes. Every topic is practised with programs on the computer; viva-style questions on output prediction are also covered.
How will I be tested?
Unit-wise MCQ tests and a final paper at semester level, plus practice on short and long answer questions from previous university papers.
