Questions

Which syllabus does this course follow?

It follows the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) syllabus of Applied Physics-I (Semester 1). Where your polytechnic follows a different board or a revised syllabus, the centre follows your own syllabus.

Will it help in the semester examination?

Yes. Every unit is covered with solved examples, unit-wise MCQs and previous-year style questions for the BTEUP theory and practical exams.

Are numericals included?

Yes. Each unit has solved and practice numericals of the type asked in the BTEUP examination.
