Questions

Which syllabus does the Renewable Energy Power Plants course follow?

It follows the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) diploma syllabus for Renewable Energy Power Plants (Electrical Engineering, Semester 6). 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 rooftop solar design covered?

Yes. Sizing of panels, inverter and batteries for a house and the net metering process are explained.
