Questions
Which syllabus does the PLC and Industrial Automation course follow?
It follows the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) diploma syllabus for PLC and Industrial Automation (Electrical Engineering, Semester 6). 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.
Which PLC software is used?
Ladder programming is practised on common PLC software / simulators (for example Siemens, Allen-Bradley or Delta) as available.
