Questions

Is PLC programming included?

Yes. Ladder logic with contacts, coils, timers and counters is taught with simple examples.

Do I need to know electronics?

Basic knowledge from earlier semesters is enough; the required electronics is revised in class.

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.
