The syllabus of the written test for admission to MCA/M.Sc.IT shall consist of Mental Ability, English
Comprehension and Mathematics of 12th standard. The test shall be of about two hours duration.
Description of the Test:
The test is a little different from those normally conducted in schools or colleges. The candidates will be
given a test booklet containing questions. For each question, several suggested answers will be given,
of which only one answer shall be correct. The questions will have serial numbers, 1,2,3, etc. and the
answer choices for each question will be marked as A,B,C,D, etc. A separate answer sheet shall be
given to answer the questions.
(b) Methods of answering questions:
On the answer sheet, for each question there shall be several spaces i.e. O (circle) under the heading
A, B, C & D. While answering any question, the index (i.e. A or B or C or D) of the correct answer
chosen from the question booklet should be noted and the corresponding O should be blacked with HB
pencil against the appropriate question number on the answer sheet. (See sample answer sheet)

Important Rules for Candidates:
i. Read the directions for each of the sections of the test carefully. The question paper will be divided
into several parts. Use your time as economically as possible.
ii. Do not give more than one answer to any question, as there is only one correct answer to each
question. If more than one answer is given for any question, it will be counted as wrong. If after
blackening some O on the answer sheet, you want to change your answer, erase the first mark
completely and then mark the new one.
iii. Follow the instructions given by the supervisor. When supervisor asks you start or stop the test or a
section of the test, you must follow his instructions immediately. This is very important.
iv. You will not be permitted to take rough paper, scales or drawing instruments or calculator into the
examination hall. Do your rough work in the space provided on the booklet itself.

these out of the hall.
vi. Do not forget to write your roll number and question booklet number on the answer sheet in the space
provided for the same.
vii. The candidates are instructed to be careful while answering the questions. The candidates should
