Questions

Is this useful for safety officer jobs?

It gives a strong base in maintenance and safety; a separate safety diploma is needed to become a statutory safety officer.

Are calculations asked?

Yes. MTBF, availability and accident frequency / severity rate problems are included.

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.
