Tips for preparing and appearing in a UPTU semester examination

Introduction
1. Prepatory phase (getting ready)
A) Each subject has 5 units. One question each is asked from each unit total 5 qs
B) Write down syallabus of each unit in point form. For example heading of unit -1 of TEE-101 is ‘Steady State Analysis of AC Circuits’.
List contents in point form as -
I) Sinuoidal phase represatation of V & I.
II) 1-Phase AC Ckt — Behaviour of Resistance, Inductance & Capacitance
…………..
This gives you an idea of various sub topics of the unit.
C) Now take previous 3-4 years UPTU question papers to see
the trend of various questions by comparison. Write
various questions side by side as shown in appendix ‘A’
D) Divide subject units into very confident/ confident
and less confident areas based on your preparation. This will help
you to plan sequence in which you will answer the questions.
E) Remember — you have to create a good impression – this is
possible only if your first two questions are written
correctlyand neatly.
2. Studying technique one day prior to exam -
