CUET PG MCA Syllabus 2025 Changes: New Topics Added in Computer Subject

NTA has changed the CUET PG MCA Syllabus 2025 for the candidates preparing for a masters degree in Computer Science and Information Technology. More topics were observed to be added to the Computer subject of the CUET PG MCA Syllabus 2025. Candidates can check out the newly added topics and CUET PG syllabus comparison (2024 vs 2025) in this Shiksha article.

With the start of CUET PG Application form 2025 from January 2, 2025, NTA has further made amendments to the admission process. It has been observed that NTA has changed the CUET PG MCA syllabus 2025 for the candidates preparing for the Computer Science and Information Technology master's degree programme. Earlier in 2024, the CUET PG MCA syllabus covered the topics like Thinking and Decision Making, Mathematics and Computers. For the academic session 2025-2026, the exam officials have added a few more topics in Computer subjects like computer networks, routing algorithms, DNS, Database Management Systems and Virtual systems.

CUET PG MCA Syllabus 2025 was released NTA on January 2, 2025 in the pdf format on the exam official website i.e., exams.nta.ac.in/CUET-PG. The syllabus will help the candidates in shortlisting the topics of the course to which they applied and make their CUET PG 2025 preparation accordingly. Candidates can check out the complete MCA syllabus 2025 here in this Shiksha article. CUET PG Exam pattern 2025 has also been revised, and now candidates will get 90 minutes to solve 75 question MCQ questions asked in the CUET PG exam 2025 instead of 105 minutes. The General paper syllabus of LLB and MBA courses will also be redesigned to cater to skill-based.
