MWU Syllabus: M.Sc Construction Management  Entrance Examination Syllabus 2075

M.Sc Construction Management  Entrance Examination Syllabus 

Entrance examination of 2 hours duration consisting of two sections: 

• Section- A: Consisting of  50 marks. 

• Section-B: This section consists of stream specialized course of 100 marks. 

 Each question will be of objective type with multiple choice answers. 

Section-A 

The depth of subject matter in this section shall be similar to general English. 

1.       Critical Reasoning [5 × 2]

Critical reasoning sections aim to test the candidate’s comprehension of the interpretative abilities in English as a language of business and communication. Critical reasoning questions measure your ability to read with understanding, insight and discrimination. These questions explore your ability to analyze a written passage from several perspectives, including your ability to recognize explicitly stated elements as well as underlying statements or arguments and their implications. This section measures reading comprehension and critical reasoning skills in a multiple-choice format.

The Critical reasoning section measures your ability to:

1.      analyze and evaluate written material and synthesize information obtained from it.

2.      analyze relationships among component parts of sentences.

 1.       Mathematics [40 × 1]

The format of these multiple-choice questions varies. The solution may require simple Computations, manipulations or multi-step problem-solving.

These sections aim to test the candidate’s understanding of Basic Mathematics (Numbers: operations; Fractions, Decimals and Percentages; Ratio and Proportion; Roots and Power; Logarithms; Progressions; Elementary Geometry and Mensuration; Elementary Trigonometry;

Introductory Set Theory ,Algebra (Polynomials, Equations and Inequalities; Simultaneous equations and solutions; Elementary Linear Programming); Calculus (limits and continuity, differentiation, integration, ordinary linear differential equation, partial differential equation),

Probability and Statistics (Counting, Permutations and Combinations).
