Want to know more about AP PGCET
Yes, theoretical understanding of practical and lab-based topics is included. However, the examination tests conceptual knowledge rather than hands-on laboratory skills.
For integrated PG courses, the syllabus may include both general aptitude and subject-specific content. However, it still largely aligns with the UG foundation required for the chosen discipline.
The syllabus for MA courses such as English, History, Political Science, Economics, and Sociology includes major theoretical frameworks, thinkers, literary texts, historical developments, and analytical approaches covered at the UG level.
For most science and humanities subjects, current affairs are not included. However, courses like Journalism, Mass Communication, and Public Administration may indirectly assess awareness of contemporary issues relevant to the discipline.
The syllabus is generally based on undergraduate-level topics. It tests core concepts, theories, and applications studied during the bachelor’s degree, ensuring that candidates possess the foundational knowledge required for PG studies.
