Please try the following

	\documentclass{article}
	\usepackage{multicol}
	\usepackage[a4paper,nohead,nofoot,
 	   hmargin={1.9cm,1.3cm},vmargin={2cm,4.3cm},
 	   total={17.8cm,23.4cm}]{geometry}

	\setlength{\columnsep}{1.4cm}


	\begin{document}
	\begin{multicols}{2}

	  .....................


	\end{multicols}
