I want to ask you that I have done my bsc graduation this year and I want to give the entrance exam of cdac for practice because I want to know that what type of questions asked in a exam so please tell me sir can I apply for the exam or not?
Greetings,
as per the eligibility criteria you would not be able to appear for the exam so the best thing to do is solve sample papers for the same as the official exam papers are also not released by the governing authorities. You can find many sample papers on google, that may be the best bet as of now.
Good luck
