How to Use CG Pre MCA Previous Year Papers?
- Pace yourself at 72 seconds a question. 150 questions in 3 hours. Give Mathematics about 90 minutes, as it carries 75 of the 150 marks.
- Fill every answer. Wrong or blank answers both score zero, so a guess can only help. Practise without a calculator, as none is allowed.
- Start with 2024, the only paper here in the current 150-question pattern, and check it with the model answers for sets A to D. Then solve 2023, 2022 and 2021, which all have final keys.
- Plan for 6 June 2027. About seven months remain, with applications expected from February 2027. One paper a month, plus repeat Mathematics sections, fits before the test.
