MAH MCA CET study plan
MAH MCA CET · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
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
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)
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
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
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
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
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
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
