Unit Weightage Analysis
Study Strategy: Each unit section below contains the Syllabus Scope, Core Strategy, and a "Deep Dive" into the most repeated concept. Focus on definitions and diagrams for Unit 1/5, and syntax/logic for Unit 3/4.
Unit 1: Computer Basics & Architecture
⌄Syllabus Scope
Generations of Computers, Von Neumann Architecture, Memory Hierarchy (RAM, ROM, Cache), Secondary Storage, Input/Output Devices.
Core Strategy
- Diagrams are King: Practice the Block Diagram of Computer (CPU, ALU, CU, Memory) until you can draw it in 2 minutes.
- Tables: Memorize the Generations table (Component, Language, Example).
š„ Deep Dive: Von Neumann Architecture
Unit 2: Operating Systems
