Questions

Which syllabus does this course follow?

It follows the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) syllabus of Introduction to IT Systems (Semester 2). 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.

Is it practical or theory?

The theory is taught here and every topic is demonstrated on a computer; the IT Systems Lab covers the hands-on practice.
