Questions

Is electric vehicle technology included?

Yes. A full unit covers EV and hybrid layouts, batteries, charging and regenerative braking.

Are there workshop demonstrations?

Practical work on automobile systems is done in the Refrigeration and Automobile Lab course.

Is this course based on the BTEUP syllabus?

Yes. The units follow the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) diploma syllabus. If your polytechnic follows a different board or a revised scheme, the centre teaches your own syllabus.
