Master of Computer Applications (MCA)

Admission to MCA course is based on Entrance Test and Interview. For preparing the final merit list, 85% weightage will be given to the score in the Entrance test and 15% weightage will be given to the score of the Interview.

Entrance Test shall consist of objective type questions from the following three components :

• Mathematical Ability
• Computer Science
• Logical Reasoning and English Comprehension.

Mathematics : Mathematics at the level of B.Sc. Program of the University of Delhi.

Computer Science : Introduction to Computer organization including data representation, Boolean circuits and their simplification, basics of combinational circuits; C-programming: Data types, constants and variables, operators and expressions, control structures. Modularity: use of functions, scope, arrays.

Logical ability & English Comprehension: Problem-solving using basic concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis. Reading comprehension and correct usage of English language.

M.Sc. (Computer Science)

• 50% of the seats are filled on the basis of merit in the B.Sc.(H) Computer Science Examination of the University of Delhi. Students with gap year will be considered. Only those students who have filled the Application form will be considered under this category.
  
  Only Delhi University students are eligible for admissions on the basis of merit.
• The admission for the remaining 50% seats in the M.Sc. Computer Science course is based on Admission entrance Test which will consist of two parts :
  
  Part I : Objective type questions.
  Part II : Comprehensive questions.
  
  Qualifying criteria for Part II of entrance test General 40% or more, SC/ST 35% or more and OBC 36% or more marks of Part I examination.
  
  For preparing the final merit list 60% weightage will be given to the score in the admission test (Part II) and 40% weightage will be given to the score of the qualifying examination (i.e. Bachelors level). The last date for submission of final year result for the purpose of merit list preparation will be specified in the bulletin of information.
  
  In the event of any short fall of admission through Entrance Test the remaining seats will not be filled from the merit list of the candidates seeking admission through direct quota reserved for B.Sc. (Honours) Computer Science students of the University of Delhi. If a candidate is shortlisted in both the categories, he/she will be admitted through the direct admission .If any, seat remain vacant against direct admission category due to non-availability of eligible candidates, the same shall be transferred and filled through admission entrance test. Future withdrawals will not change the category of a candidate already admitted.
