Questions
Is this course for both Electrical and Electronics branches?
Yes. It is taught in Semester 3 of both branches as per the BTEUP scheme.
Will I see circuits working?
Circuits are explained with simulations and lab demonstrations where available.
Is this course based on the BTEUP syllabus?
Yes. The units follow the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) diploma syllabus. If your polytechnic follows a different board or a revised scheme, the centre teaches your own syllabus.
Which syllabus does this course follow?
It follows the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) syllabus of Digital Electronics (Semester 3 / 4). Where your polytechnic follows a different board or a revised syllabus, the centre follows your own syllabus.
Will it help in the semester examination?
Yes. Every unit is covered with solved examples, unit-wise MCQs and previous-year style questions for the BTEUP theory and practical exams.
Is the Digital Electronics Lab covered too?
The lab is a separate course; here every circuit is explained with its truth table so that lab experiments become easy.
Which syllabus does the Network Theory course follow?
It follows the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) diploma syllabus for Network Theory (Electronics Engineering, Semester 3). If your own board's or institute's syllabus differs, the centre follows your own syllabus.
Will this help in the semester examination?
Yes. Teaching is unit-wise as per the BTEUP scheme, with previous-year question practice, MCQ tests and doubt sessions before the semester exam.
