Did you also spend hours brushing up on geometric theorems, thinking it was crucial for the MAH CET BCA/BBA/BMS/BBM/Integrated MBA/Integrated MCA 2025 exam? You're not alone. The common misconception is that it contains a full-fledged Mathematics section. But the reality? It has Arithmetic based questions. We're diving deep into the syllabus and paper pattern to clear the air so your preparation is on the right track.
Firstly, let’s understand the difference between Arithmetic and Mathematics.
What is Arithmetic?
Think of Mathematics like a tree with many branches, each representing different topics like Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus. Arithmetic is like the trunk of the tree, it’s one of the most basic and important parts that everything else grows from. So, Arithmetic covers the most basic functions of Mathematics like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Now that we've clarified the role of Arithmetic within Mathematics, let's shift our focus to how this difference applies to the MAH CET 2025 exam.
Paper Pattern of the MAH CET 2025
The paper pattern of the MAH CET 2025 exam for BCA, BBA, BMS, BBM, MBA, and MCA is the same. Firstly, there will be questions on the topic of English Language, followed by questions on Reasoning, General Knowledge and Awareness, and Computer Basics.
