A process for preparing a multilayer ceramic capacitor of the present invention comprises the steps of forming a pattern sheet, laminating a plurality of the pattern sheets and firing to obtain a multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising dielectric layers and internal electrode layers that are alternately laminated. The pattern sheet comprises a dielectric material green sheet and a conductor pattern. The conductor pattern is formed on the dielectric material green sheet and contains a main component selected from Ni, Cu and their alloy, at least one selected from the elements of the groups 3B to 6B of the periodic table and at least one selected from Mn, Co and Fe. The multilayer ceramic capacitor so obtained has an internal electrode layer wherein occurrence of discontinuous portions in conductor patterns is suppressed even after firing.
