Questions
Which syllabus is followed?
The NEP 2020 common minimum syllabus of UP state universities. Where your university's list of exercises differs, the centre follows your own university syllabus.
Is a computer used?
Exercises are first solved by hand as required in the exam; students may check answers with a spreadsheet.
I am weak in maths. Can I manage?
Yes, only basic arithmetic is needed and every formula is practised with small geographical data sets.
