Questions
Which syllabus does this course follow?
It follows the UP State Universities NEP 2020 common minimum syllabus for B.Sc Computer Science, Semester 1. Where your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university's syllabus and question pattern.
I have never programmed before. Can I join?
Yes. The course starts from computer basics and flowcharts before Python, at the pace of a first-semester student.
Is there a test after the course?
Yes. Unit-wise multiple-choice tests and a final exam paper are included for semester exam practice.
Which Python version is used?
Python 3 (the current version). Programs are run in IDLE or VS Code in the centre's computer lab.
How are the practicals marked?
The trainer watches each experiment and marks it on a rubric; the viva questions here prepare you for the university practical exam.
