Can you provide me the syllabus of All India MCA Common Entrance Test – AIMCET for admission in MCA (Master in Computer Application) course in IITs and NITs in India?

[Raman Vij]

Basically All India MCA Common Entrance Test – AIMCET is a National Level Test which gets regulated by IIT – Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee under control of MHRD – Ministry of Human Resource Development, government of India.

The main purpose of conducting AIMCET is to find out the most deserving and hardworking candidates and providing them a single doorway to the admission in MCA programs in the best institution across the nation.

Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee made MCA admission through AIMCET Entrance Exam. Hereafter, IIT Roorkee MCA Admission was based on IIT JAM 2013.
