सवाल

Which syllabus is followed?

The NEP 2020 common minimum syllabus of UP state universities. Where your university's list of projections differs, the centre follows your own university syllabus.

Do I need to learn trigonometry?

Only simple values of sin, cos, tan and cot are needed; the trainer shows the calculation table for each projection.

How is the practical marked?

Each sheet is checked for correct calculation, construction, labelling and neatness, as in the university practical exam.
