IIC Delhi MCA Entrance Exam Syllabus

• The entrance examination will consist of a multiple-choice question paper of 3 hours duration having two parts.
  Part I: General English Comprehension; Analytical Ability and Reasoning.
  Part II: Mathematics, Physics, Electronics and Basic knowledge of Computers.
  Though there is no fixed syllabus for the entrance test, a broad outline of the syllabus is suggested below.
  • PART- I
    Marks : 30 (Vocabulary and Comprehension: 10; Analytical Ability and Reasoning: 20)
    This part is intended to test the candidate’s vocabulary and analytical skills at a level essential for accurate comprehension and presentation of material appropriate for this degree. The language background expected will be of the level of English at Senior Secondary Examination. The paper will include passages for comprehension, test of vocabulary (synonyms and antonyms), elementary grammar and syntax.
    The section on Analytical Ability and Reasoning will include standard questions on pattern recognition, logic, Venn diagrams etc. It is not intended to be subject-specific.
  • PART- II
    Marks : 120 (Mathematics: 40; Physics: 40; Electronics and Basic knowledge of Computer: 40)
    This part is intended to test knowledge of the subject.MATHEMATICS
