Thanks, Shashank. Since your DBMS exam is tomorrow and you're starting from scratch, I’ll
break down the entire syllabus shown in the image into clearly ordered topics based on:

Difficulty: Hard → Average → Easy (from a beginner’s view)

MAKAUT 6th Sem AIML exam importance: Frequently asked → Moderate → Rare

✅ FULL SYLLABUS BREAKDOWN

🟥 Hard & High Priority Topics (Conceptual + Application-based)


These are often asked in exams, require deeper understanding, and are time-consuming.

1. Relational Query Languages

Relational algebra

Tuple and domain relational calculus

SQL: DDL, DML, DCL (commands, joins, nested queries)

1/4
Query processing and optimization (Query trees, joins, heuristics)

2. Relational Database Design

Functional dependencies

Normalization (1NF to 5NF, BCNF)

Lossless join & dependency preservation

Anomalies (insertion, deletion, update)

3. Transaction Management

ACID properties

Schedules: Serializability (conflict, view)

Concurrency control (locks, timestamp, deadlock)

Recovery (log-based, shadow copy)

🟧 Average Difficulty Topics (Medium Effort, Medium Questions)


You should definitely cover these—they appear frequently in short questions or
explanations.

4. Data Models

Relational, hierarchical, network, object-oriented

ER model: Entity, attribute, relationship, keys

ER to Relational Mapping

5. Database System Architecture

Three-level architecture: Internal, Conceptual, External

Data Independence: Logical vs Physical

6. Security and Authorization

Access control: DAC, MAC, RBAC

Authorization and authentication

SQL injection (basic explanation)

2/4
🟩 Easy Topics (Quick to Cover, Often in MCQs/short notes)
These take little time but help boost your score.

7. Introduction

What is a database, DBMS

File vs DBMS

Users of DBMS

Data abstraction (physical/logical/view levels)

Data manipulation operations

8. Database Storage & Indexing

File organization (heap, sequential)

Indexing: Primary, Secondary, B+ tree

Hashing (static/dynamic)

9. Open Source and Commercial DBMS

Names only: MySQL, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server

Open-source vs proprietary

🔥 Super Quick Revision Order (Tonight Plan)


First 3 Hours → High weightage:

Relational Algebra + SQL (joins, nested queries)

Functional Dependencies + Normalization (1NF, 2NF, BCNF at least)

ACID & Schedules (draw conflict graphs)

Next 2 Hours → Medium weightage:

ER Diagram + Mapping

Architecture + Data Independence

Indexing + File org

SQL Injection, Authorization

Final 1–2 Hours → MCQ short topics:

3/4
DBMS vs File system

All types of DBMS models

Examples of DBMS

Open-source DBMS

📌 Tip for MAKAUT Exams:


Define → Example → Diagram is the expected answer format.

Focus on ER diagrams, normalization tables, SQL queries, relational algebra


expressions.

Would you like me to create mind maps, revision notes, or MCQ-style questions next for
quick revision?

4/4
