Questions

Which syllabus does this Object Oriented Programming course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Lucknow) MCA syllabus for Semester 2. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university's syllabus and unit order.

Is the subject taught with programming practice?

Yes. Every concept is shown with a running Java program, and students write programs in the Object Oriented Programming Lab.

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.
