MAH MCA CET study plan

MAH MCA CET · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Mathematics & Logical / Abstract Reasoning

  • Audit your current level by solving one 25-question timed set each of Mathematics and Logical Reasoning under exam conditions and tabulate accuracy per subtopic

  • Build a one-page formula sheet covering percentages, ratio-proportion, averages, profit-loss and simple-compound interest, writing each formula from memory before checking

  • Drill 30 percentage and ratio word problems, converting every one into an equation before solving

  • Establish a fixed weekly schedule of three 2-hour blocks and log actual study minutes daily

Your checkpoint

A baseline scorecard listing accuracy percentage for at least 10 Mathematics and 6 Reasoning subtopics, plus a completed formula sheet

Week 2

Mathematics & Logical / Abstract Reasoning

  • Solve 40 time-speed-distance and time-work problems, classifying each as direct, inverse or combined variation before computing

  • Practise 30 series-completion and analogy items, writing the underlying rule for each answer

  • Time yourself on two 20-question Mathematics sets and record per-question seconds to identify slow subtopics

  • Re-solve every wrong answer from Week 1 without looking at the solution first

Your checkpoint

An error log of at least 40 Mathematics and 20 Reasoning mistakes, each tagged with a cause (concept gap, calculation slip, misread, time pressure)

Week 3

Mathematics

  • Work through 25 mensuration problems covering area, perimeter, surface area and volume of standard solids, sketching each figure before solving

  • Solve 20 permutation-combination and probability questions, stating whether order matters before choosing a method

  • Memorise squares to 30, cubes to 15 and common fraction-percentage equivalents, testing recall twice

  • Complete two full 25-question Mathematics sections in 35 minutes each

Your checkpoint

A timed Mathematics mock scored and fully reviewed, with every unattempted question reworked to a final answer

Week 4

Logical / Abstract Reasoning & Mathematics

  • Solve 40 seating-arrangement and blood-relation puzzles using a written diagram for each

  • Complete 30 syllogism and statement-conclusion items, drawing Venn diagrams rather than reasoning verbally

  • Review the Mathematics error log and re-test the three weakest subtopics with 10 fresh questions each

  • Reduce average time per Mathematics question to under 60 seconds across a 25-question set

Your checkpoint

A Reasoning mock of 25 questions scored at 70 percent or above, with diagrams retained as evidence of method

Week 5

English & Computer Concepts / General Awareness

  • Complete 60 reading-comprehension questions across 10 passages, summarising each passage in one sentence before answering

  • Revise 150 grammar items covering subject-verb agreement, tenses, articles, prepositions and modifiers, recording each rule broken

  • Compile a 100-word vocabulary list of exam-frequent words with usage sentences you write yourself

  • Map the Computer Concepts syllabus into a checklist covering number systems, logic gates, memory, operating systems, networking basics and shortcuts, marking known versus unknown

Your checkpoint

A grammar-rule sheet of at least 15 rules with one original example sentence each, plus a completed Computer Concepts checklist

Week 6

English & Computer Concepts / General Awareness

  • Solve 40 sentence-completion, synonym-antonym and idiom questions under a 45-second-per-question cap

  • Convert between binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal for 20 numbers and verify each by back-conversion

  • Write truth tables for AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR and XOR gates and answer 20 gate-output questions

  • Read one current-affairs digest per day for five days and note ten items relevant to computers or technology

Your checkpoint

A 40-question English and Computer Concepts combined set scored at 75 percent or above, with all errors corrected in writing

Week 7

Mathematics & Logical / Abstract Reasoning

  • Take two full-length simulated tests of 100 questions in 120 minutes, replicating exam order and without pausing

  • Analyse each mock by section to identify the three highest time-drain questions and set a personal skip rule

  • Drill 50 mixed Reasoning items from your weakest two puzzle types

  • Re-derive all formulas on the Week 1 sheet from memory and update anything forgotten

Your checkpoint

Two completed full-length mocks with section-wise timing tables and a written question-selection strategy

Week 8

Mathematics & Logical / Abstract Reasoning & English & Computer Concepts / General Awareness

  • Take three full-length mocks on alternate days, each followed by a same-day review of every wrong and guessed answer

  • Revisit only flagged error-log entries and confirm each is now solvable unaided

  • Practise the final 15 minutes of a paper by attempting only high-confidence questions to build accuracy under fatigue

  • Confirm exam-day logistics and prepare a permitted-materials checklist

Your checkpoint

A final mock scored at or above your target cutoff with a one-page revision sheet of formulas, grammar rules and computer facts

Milestones

Week 2: Baseline accuracy improves by at least 10 percentage points in Mathematics, and the error log contains 60 or more tagged entries

Week 4: A 25-question Reasoning mock is completed at 70 percent or above within 30 minutes

Week 6: English and Computer Concepts combined accuracy reaches 75 percent, and binary-hexadecimal conversion is error-free on 20 numbers

Week 8: At least two of the last three full-length mocks meet or exceed the target cutoff score, with no section below 50 percent
