COURSE CURRICULUM
1. RATIONALE
Students of electrical engineering diploma need to possess a good understanding of concepts
and principles of electrical engineering, which is essential to determine the electrical
engineering parameters. Further these concepts need to be assimilated by the students to
understand concepts of advanced courses and develop skills that are needed by the industry.
This will also be needed to analyze the different applications of electrical & electronics
engineering circuits.
2. COMPETENCY
The course content should be taught and implemented with the aim to develop different types
of skills leading to the achievement of the following competency:
Solve basic circuit problems using circuit laws and network theorems.

Note: It is the responsibility of the institute heads that marks for PA of theory & ESE and PA of
practical for each student are entered online into the GTU Portal at the end of each semester within
the dates specified by GTU.
