Questions

Which syllabus does the Industrial Drives and Control course follow?

It follows the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) diploma syllabus for Industrial Drives and Control (Electrical Engineering, Semester 5). If your own board's or institute's syllabus differs, the centre follows your own syllabus.

Will this help in the semester examination?

Yes. Teaching is unit-wise as per the BTEUP scheme, with previous-year question practice, MCQ tests and doubt sessions before the semester exam.

Is control wiring taught?

Yes. DOL, star-delta and forward-reverse control circuits are drawn and explained step by step.
