Questions
Which syllabus does this Software Engineering course follow?
It follows the AKTU (Lucknow) MCA syllabus for Semester 3. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university's syllabus and unit order.
Are numericals asked?
Yes. Function points, Halstead measures, cyclomatic complexity and COCOMO numericals are practised with solved examples.
How are students tested at the centre?
Unit-wise MCQ tests, numerical / problem practice, previous AKTU question papers and a final mock paper before the semester exam.
