Questions

Which syllabus does the Microwave and Radar Engineering course follow?

It follows the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) diploma syllabus for Microwave and Radar Engineering (Electronics 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 the microwave bench explained?

Yes. The bench components and procedures for VSWR, frequency and power measurement are explained step by step.
