We will discuss in detail here the CETs for BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications).

The GGSIPU-CET is not common for different courses. There is a separate entrance test on separate dates for each course. But the format of the question papers for all courses is more or less the same; they consist of multiple-choice objective-type questions (150 questions, 600 marks, 2.5 hours). The answers have to be marked on an OMR sheet. Every question is of equal weightage, with negative marking for wrong answers.

• You should have passed 12th (CBSE) or an equivalent examination with a minimum of 50% marks in aggregate with a pass in English (core or elective or functional) and Mathematics or Computer Science / Informatics Practice / Computer Applications.
• OR
• You should have completed a 3-year diploma in any branch of engineering from a polytechnic that is duly approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and is affiliated to a recognized examining body with a minimum of 50% marks.

The format of the exam is like any other MBA entrance exam; multiple choice questions with answers to be marked on OMR sheets; negative marking for every wrong answer. As mentioned earlier, there is a separate entrance test on separate dates for each course. So the best way to prepare for CET is practice, practice and some more practice.
