सवाल

Which syllabus does this course follow?

It follows the BTEUP Diploma Computer Science & Engineering Semester 3 syllabus. If your board or college syllabus differs, the centre teaches as per your own syllabus.

Is this subject mostly theory or numericals?

Mostly theory, with short numericals on cache mapping, memory addressing and pipeline speed-up that are regularly asked in exams.

Do I need programming knowledge?

No. Only basic digital electronics and number systems are needed.

Will there be tests?

Yes. Unit-wise MCQ tests and a final model paper are given before the semester exam.
