Questions
Which syllabus does this lab course follow?
It follows the B.Sc Mathematics Semester 1 syllabus of the UP State Universities (NEP 2020 common minimum syllabus). Where your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.
How are students assessed at the centre?
The trainer watches each experiment and marks it on a rubric (set-up, observations, calculation and viva); viva-style questions revise the theory behind the experiments.
Will this help in the semester examination?
Yes. The experiments match the university practical examination, including the record file and viva.
