Generally, the colleges or universities ask descriptive questions in the exams of most of the subjects taught under the PGDCA Course. The candidates have to write a complete 1 page or 2-page answer according to the word limit prescribed for a particular question. 

The candidates are expected to write their answers in bullet points so that the Invigilator can easily understand their point of view.
