सवाल

Which syllabus does this Introduction to Network course follow?

It follows the common UP state university BCA syllabus (University of Lucknow pattern) for BCA Semester 5. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university's syllabus and unit order.

Is subnetting asked in the exam?

Usually basic subnetting - number of hosts, network address and class of an IP; the trainer drills these with a quick method.

Will there be practical work?

The trainer demonstrates ipconfig, ping, tracert and a Packet Tracer LAN so the concepts are clear.
