Syllabus for MAH-MCA-CET Examination
Scheme of CET
The MAH-MCA-CET is ONLINE examination comprises of two papers (objective type) of 90 minutes duration viz. General Aptitude (GA) and Computer Concepts (CC). The syllabus & sample question paper are available on website (http://www.dtemaharashtra.gov.in/mca2014/StaticPages/HomePage.aspx) and also in online brochure. Each paper has 25 questions and is expected to be completed in 90 minutes.
General Aptitude
The main objective of this paper is to assess the general aptitude of the candidate to pursue a computer applications and software profession.
Syllabus
