Questions

Which syllabus does this course follow?

It follows the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) syllabus of Programming in C (Semester 2 / 3). 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.

Will I write programs myself?

Yes. Every topic is followed by programs written and run by the student; the C Lab covers full practicals.
